Cosmetic Tube Sleeve

Why Choose Plastic Tube

Over the past decades, cosmetic plastic tube manufacturers have continuously advanced the production techniques for tube sleeves. Compared to other materials like PBL, ABL, and aluminum, PE tubes are not only easier to carry but also offer superior elastic resilience. Additionally, cosmetic plastic tube is more eco-friendly to our environment and is 100% recyclable. At I.TA, we specialize in manufacturing both monolayer cosmetic tubes and Co-Ex multilayer plastic tube packaging with EVOH.

How to build a PE tube sleeve

There are 3 steps of manufacturing tube sleeve
- Extruding system
- Cooling system
- Cutting system

First of all, we put the plastic resin into the extruder machine, and the resin start to pass by the screw which is heated by a very high temperature. In this process, the resin changes its type from solid to liquid. Once the melting plastic flow runs into the round mold, we could find sleeve shape in the mold. By adding colored resin, the tube color could be changed such as nature, white, black, or any other PANTONE colors.

Secondly, the tube sleeve shifts to cooling system which has 3 steps cooling device to decrease the temperature on the tube surface.

Finally, the tube sleeve moves to the cutting machine to determinate the tube sleeve length. Manufacturing a plastic tube sleeve body is just like making a straw for beverage. It’s fun to watch!

Tube Sleeve Quality Control

I. TA pays attention on customer satisfaction and focus on our reputation. We spend a great attention on controlling the quality. The tube sleeve quality control as below.

• The tube thickness measurement
• The tube diameter measurement
• The tube length measurement
• The tube color observation
• The tube layer monitor via electronic microscope
