Plastic Tubes

The SL-T®-Closure A TUBEX innovation – The first shoulderless plastic tube with directly welded flip top closure and significant material reduction. The shoulder-less tube SL-T® makes it possible to implement an ecologically, cost-conscious, functional and sustainable packaging for your products covering areas of cosmetics, technology, foods and household.

SL-T®-Tube

Standard Tube

SMART A protected and awarded process that joins an individual 2-piece flip top closure directly and inseparably to a tube sleeve. By omitting the tube shoulder the known tube technology is being revolutionized. Thus the previously available gap between shoulder and flip-top closure is eliminated.

LIGHT Extremely light with regard to budget and environment. The shoulderless SL-T® attains an innovative combination of cost efficiency and sustainability.

EX innovation ... A TUB

TRENDY All standard tube and orifice diameters, combination of different materials, dry offset and screen print up to 7 colours, hot foil stamping up to 2 colours, hybrid print (combination of flexo and screen print), matt and gloss top varnish coats. Using known materials TUBEX achieves an individual packaging which meets the demands of both your products and your customers with regard to technical and optical requirements.

YOUR MATERIAL SAVINGS - 25 % CLOSURE - 15 % SLEEVE - 100 % SHOULDER

For more information, see www.sl-t.de

CLOSURES Individual design of closure and sleeve Mono-coloured or bicoloured closure; extreme individual design possibilities

8

LESS MATERIAL The shoulderless tube saves up to 40 % material compared to a standard tube with shoulder and separate push-on closure.

SEAMLESSLY WELDED The shoulderless tube represents a homogenous entity due to the fact that the closure is directly welded to the sleeve which results as well in improved restitution properties.
