8. THE TUBE IS FABRICATED OF THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS:
Components of Tubes
THE TUBE IS FABRICATED OF THE
FOLLOWING COMPONENTS:
THE TUBE HEAD
THE TUBE SHOULDER
THE BODY
THE CAP

9. DIMENSIONS REQUIRED TO DESIGN A TUBE

10. PROCESS FLOW OF LAMINATE TUBES
Blank laminate is loaded onto the printer
Laminate is printed and slit
Printed Laminate is loaded where it is indexed, trimmed, wrapped & seamed
Sleeves travel to the mandrel
Neck & Shoulder are attached to the sleeve
Now it takes the complete shape of the tube
Tubes travel to the mondrel, where top seal is applied.
Then the Cap is fixed.
It further goes for Final Inspection.
And then the Packing takes place.

13. ADVANTAGES OF LAMI TUBES
PROTECTIVE, BARRIER PROPERTIES
NON –TOXIC AND HYGIENIC
ELEGANT AND ATTRACTIVE
PRINTABILITY
LEAKPROOF
WRINKLE RESISTANCE
USER CONVENIENCE
SQUEEZABLE
Tubes remain flexible, soft and smooth at any stage of use
Enhanced shelf appeal
Consistent quality and performance
Wide range of caps - fez/flower can be used
Pin hole orifice for low viscosity products , added feature

14. PROCESS FLOW OF ALUMINUM TUBES
Slugs are brought to tumbler, for tumbling
Slugs are loaded into hopper
Slugs are extruded into tubes
Tubes are now transferred to mandrel, where the open and neck ends are trimmed.
Further, they are transferred to high temperature zone for annealing.
After annealing takes place, they are brought to the cooling zone.
Then they are further taken to lacquer station, where interior is coated with lacquer.
Then they are taken for external coating.
Further, they are transferred to priniting mandrel, where printing takes place.

15. Montebello is continuing to develop its aerosolan market
After going through the drying oven for drying of printing, it is taken for cap application. Tubes are capped.
Then they are transferred to apply crimping sealant.
And now the final inspection stage takes place.
Tubes are inspected and moved for packaging
Montebello is continuing to develop its aerosolan market
From small
To BIG

16. Manufacturing Process
LACQUER APPLICATION
A Closer Look
Open Tube
Sealed Tube

17. CLOSURES ARE ALSO CALLED AS CAP
The Cap is the last component of the tube. There is a wide variety available as shown in the pic.
There is unique application of caps.
Caps give increased safety for products packaged in tubes

18. IMPORTANT PARAMETERS TO BE KEPT IN MIND
The Product to be packed
Capacity , i.e. quantity of product to be packed
Diameter of the tube
Length of the tube
Whether tube is to be plain or printed
Matter to be printed on external surface of the tubes

19. T A Q L The complete definition and classification of defects for
COLLAPSIBLE
ALUMINUM &
LAMINATE TUBES

20. AQLs (Acceptable Quality Levels)
The defects are classified into the following levels :
Unacceptable – 0.00%
Critical A – 0.25%
Critical B – 0.65%
Major – 1.00%
Minor – 4.00%
