Diversified development trend of plastic tube packaging

2020-09-04

Plastic tube packaging is an internationally advanced packaging style. The product is non-toxic and tasteless, and it is hygienic and convenient to use. The surface of the plastic cosmetic tube is bright and bright, beautiful, and low in price. Widely used in cosmetics, medicine, food, detergent, and other daily necessities tube packaging can highlight the value of the product. The tube packaging is economical and convenient, easy to carry, suitable for containing emulsion and glue. In recent years, with the rapid development of the modern packaging industry and the continuous optimization of plastic tube packaging, the development momentum of tube packaging has been strong.

Application

The main application areas of tube packaging: Plastic composite tubes have become one of the main packaging varieties for cosmetics, medicine, and food due to their convenience, economy, and good hygiene. Since the 1990s, China has introduced a large number of advanced composite tube production equipment from Europe, America, Japan, and Taiwan Province, and the development momentum is very strong. According to related reports, the strong growth of skincare products and bath products will promote the growth of tube packaging at a higher than average rate, especially for upright hoses.

Advantages

The tube packaging has the advantages that other materials are incomparable. Therefore, since its inception, it has emerged in squeeze tubes for cosmetics and pharmaceutical packaging tubes. Now it has become an indispensable form of squeeze tubes for cosmetics and medicines. Plastic composite tubes are mainly used in the cosmetics industry for packaging products such as cleansing cream tube packaging, facial tubes, hand sanitizer gel tube, shampoo tube packaging, lip gloss tubes, hair care containers, empty mascara tube, toothpaste tube, and other products.

To Classification of plastic composite tube: According to material classification, plastic tubes can be divided into single-layer tubes and multi-layer tubes. Single-layer tubes include metal tubes and plastic squeeze tubes; multilayer tubes include aluminum-plastic composite tubes, plastic composite tubes, and plastic co-extruded tubes. According to the classification of processing technology, tubes can be divided into seamless pipes and seamed pipes. Seamless pipes include cold stamping forming, roll forming, and extrusion forming; seamed pipes include high-frequency welding, ultrasonic welding, thermal welding, and other forming methods. Among them, extrusion molding can process multilayer or single-layer plastic tubes.

Features of the cosmetic tube

1. Part of the air (oxygen) in the packaging container is eliminated, which can effectively prevent food from spoiling and spoiling.

2. The use of packaging materials with excellent barrier properties (air tightness) and strict sealing technology and requirements can effectively prevent the exchange of packaging contents, which can prevent food weight loss and taste loss, and prevent secondary pollution.

3. The gas inside the cosmetic tube container has been eliminated, which accelerates the heat transfer, which can improve the efficiency of heat sterilization and avoid the rupture of the packaging container due to gas expansion during heat sterilization.

In the food industry, the application of cosmetic tubes is very common, various cooked products such as chicken legs, ham, sausages, etc.; pickled products such as various pickles, soy products, preserved fruits, and other foods that need to be kept fresh are increasingly used Cosmetic tube.
