Laminate Tubes
Laminate tubes are easy to use, and their range of applications includes pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and adhesives.
Laminate tubes have barrier properties that plastic tubes lack, and they are supple and easy to squeeze.
We have developed an original laminate sheet that can reliably and safely contain a tube’s contents, so it can be used in a wider range of fields.
Laminate Tube Features
- Adds functionality and barrier properties
- Can also be used to create a wide range of textures and designs
- Has the functions of an aluminum tube and poly foil tube

Original Product
Membrane (Closed-type) Tubes
The membrane tube has excellent virgin seal and airtight properties, which keep oxygen permeation to a minimum.
-
Uses
Pharmaceutical Products, Cosmetics, Toiletries, Industrial Goods, Food, etc.
-
Features
- Has a barrier against the permeation of outside air and light entering from the tube’s mouth
- Virgin seal properties and tamper-proof features
- Moisture and aroma retention properties
Membrane (Closed-type) Structure
Ensuring barrier and virgin seal properties at the head section has been an issue in conventional laminate tubes.
The membrane tube solves this by layering a membrane component including an aluminum layer.
This gives it superior virgin seal and excellent barrier (light-shielding and gas barrier) properties.
Poly Foil Tubes
Poly foil tubes have the same functions as the laminate tube, and their seamless body structure makes it possible to have printing on the entire tube. These tubes are very popular and widely used for high-end cosmetics that require containers with a sophisticated design.
-
Uses
Cosmetics, Toiletries, etc.
-
Features
- Completely covered side seams make it possible to have (decorative) printing on the entire tube
- Excellent barrier properties from the use of aluminum foil
- Can create original decorative designs and textures using the gloss of aluminum foil
- Requires special equipment and advanced manufacturing technology
