Tube Packaging Machinery and Process Solutions

What to consider for tube packaging: tube material, filling, crimping or sealing, and print alignment.

Tube Packaging equipment selection depends on tube material, filling, crimping or sealing, and print alignment.

Common equipment

Machine types used for this application. One technology does not fit every product, so compare the options against your sample.

Filling Machines

Fill liquids, pastes, powders and granules into containers by volume or weight.

Sealing Machines

Induction, heat, band, foil and tube sealing for secure, tamper-evident packs.

Secondary Packaging

Cartoners, case packers, shrink wrappers and palletizing for end-of-line.

How are tubes filled and sealed?

Tube fillers fill from the open tail, then seal plastic and laminate tubes with hot air or ultrasound, or fold and crimp aluminium tubes. An eye-mark sensor aligns the print before sealing.

Key questions to answer

  • What does the product sample behave like?
  • Which of these matter: tube material, filling, crimping or sealing, and print alignment?
  • What pack size or fill quantity do you need?
  • What target output per minute or per shift?
  • How many changeovers per day or week?
  • How much floor space is available?

Typical workflow

  1. Product feeding or preparation
  2. Primary packaging operation
  3. Closure or sealing
  4. Identification and inspection
