LAMINATE TUBES

LAMINATE TUBES

Laminate combines the benefit of aluminum tube properties with the look and feel of plastic. The “New Generation” of laminate tubes uses the most modern technology to produce a tube with the industry’s most aesthetic minimal seam, providing maximum space for graphics and brand decoration. Laminate material virtually prevents transfer of light, air and moisture. Montebello also offers a wide variety of graphics and an assortment of sizes and styles. Their capabilities allow them to make a tube as small as 1/2 inch (12.7mm) in diameter.

The Laminate Process:

Laminate tubes begin as flat web stock, manufactured by the leading global suppliers. It is printed to your exacting specifications on the finest quality letterpress or rotogravure equipment. The printed web is formed into a tubular shape, cut to the desired length to become a “sleeve”. It is then “headed”, joined with a molded shoulder. We can add a tamper evident sealed neck membrane for product protection. Last the tube is capped, inspected, and packed. This is a totally integrated system, with the entire package being assembled in line.
