Squeezable tubes are a popular packaging choice by both manufacturers and consumers. Globally, there were 36 billion tubes produced in 2017, and this number is expected to reach over 71 billion by 2026. Tubes have earned their status as a preferred packaging option for several reasons: they have excellent barrier properties, offer high elasticity, and provide hassle-free packaging.

Squeeze tubes are a popular packaging choice in the beauty, food, automotive, and chemical markets.

Totally Tubular

Laminated squeeze tubes are one of the most popular types of tubes. They have a multi-layer barrier, reducing the possibility of oxygen and light from entering the package. This makes these types of tubes ideal for the health and beauty industries since both oxygen and light can have a degenerative effect on some products, like vitamins found in moisturizers. Small squeeze tubes do have some presence in the food, automotive, and chemical markets, as well, but they are most prevalent in the beauty market.

The multi-layer barrier in squeeze tube packaging makes them safe for light- and oxygen-sensitive contents, like moisturizers.
