Tubes Material

Our laminated tubes are made up of a multiple-layered sleeve material (3-7 layers). Essentially, this composite is made up of PE layers in which a so-called aroma barrier is incorporated. The individual layers of the sleeve material are joined together by way of "lamination". This is the where the name used for this type of tube comes from. The barrier layer may be made up of different materials. The most frequently used barriers are EVOH and aluminium.

Laminates are also available without the barrier layers. At EPL Ltd. we currently process laminates in thicknesses between 250 µ and 400 µ and diameters ranging from 25 to 50 mm are offered. When making laminated tubes, printing is not applied to the finished cylindrical tube, but instead to a flat surface rolled onto endless rolls. Complex printed images are thus possible in a single operation.
