Lamitubes / Laminate Tubes - Complete Product Range

Tubes made in India with Swiss Technology

Skypack manufactures laminate tubes (lamitubes) in India near New Delhi close to manufacturing & Pharma hub of Baddi, Poanta Sahib, Haridwar etc on fully automatic Swiss made machines. Unlike our competitor's technology, in which pre-moulded shoulders are simply fused to the tube body, our technology allows the shoulder to be made inline on the machine through state of the art compression molding technology. This simultaneous moulding and fusing of the shoulder with the tube body makes the bond inseparable and also makes it aesthetically appealing.

Lamitubes / Laminate Tubes – Types of Tubes Manufactured

SKYTUBES

Laminate tubes are broadly classified under two categories:

1. Lamitubes / Laminatetubes – ABL : (Aluminium Barrier Laminate)
2. Lamitubes / Laminatetubes – PBL : (Plastic Barrier Laminate)

Both these types of tubes are described in detail in following pages and

Key differences between the types of materials are illustrated below in the table:


Barrier Material Commonly used name Available Colours Spring Back / Bounce Back Property Barrier
White Metallic Transparent
EVOH PBL (Plastic Based Tube) Y N Y Paste **
Aluminium Foil ABL (Aluminium based Tube) Y Y N Paste ***

Lamitubes or Laminate Tubes – ABL: Aluminum Barrier Laminates

ABL: Aluminum Foil based LamitubeThe multilayer laminatetubes (lamitube) made from laminates with aluminium foil barrier combine the excellent barrier advantages of traditional metal tubes & the attractive visual and tactile feel of the plastic tubes.

These laminated tubes are made from the laminates, the structure of the laminate is described on the left image.

The ABL laminated tubes give good “collapsible” effect (shown in the picture below) which is desirable where precise dispensing of the product is required. Today, ABL laminate tubes are not only used for toothpaste applications, but also increasingly for cosmetics, food, pharmaceutical and household and industrial applications.
