Types of Cosmetic Plastic Soft Tubes

 

 

Aluminum-plastic composite soft tube
Aluminum-plastic composite soft tube is a kind of packaging container made of aluminum foil and plastic film through co-extrusion composite process, and then processed into a tube shape by a special tube making machine. Its typical structure is PE/PE+EAA/AL/PE +EAA/PE. The aluminum-plastic composite soft tube is mainly used for packaging cosmetics with high requirements on hygiene and barrier properties. The barrier layer is generally aluminum foil, and its barrier properties depend on the pinhole degree of the aluminum foil. With the continuous improvement of technology, the thickness of the aluminum foil barrier layer in the aluminum-plastic composite soft tube has been reduced from the traditional 40μm to 12μm, or even 9μm, which greatly saves resources.

 

All-plastic composite soft tube
All-plastic composite soft tubes are all plastic components, which are divided into two types: all-plastic non-barrier composite soft tubes and all-plastic barrier composite soft tubes. All-plastic non-barrier composite soft tube is generally used for the packaging of low-grade fast-consuming cosmetics; all-plastic barrier composite soft tube is usually used for medium and low-grade cosmetic packaging due to the side seam in the tube making, and the barrier layer can be EVOH, PVDC, oxide coating. Multilayer composite materials such as PET. The typical structure of the all-plastic barrier composite soft tube is PE/PE/EVOH/PE/PE.

 

Plastic co-extrusion soft tube
Plastic co-extrusion soft tubes use co-extrusion technology to co-extrude raw materials of different properties and types, and form them at one time. Plastic co-extrusion soft tubes are divided into single-layer extrusion soft tubes and multi-layer co-extrusion soft tubes. The former is mainly used for fast-consuming cosmetics (such as hand creams, etc.) that have high requirements on appearance and low actual performance requirements. Packaging, the latter is mainly used for high-end cosmetic packaging.

 

4 Printing Methods of Cosmetic Plastic Soft Tubes
 

 

Letterpress offset printing
In tubes printing. Letterpress offset printing technology is different from paper offset printing in the usual sense. Some people vividly call it‘Letter Set.The tubes letterpress offset printing process does not use water rollers. It uses paste ink with high viscosity. The ink fountain roller transfers the ink from the ink fountain to a set of rubber rollers. Through the inking roller, the ink is evenly distributed to the inking roller, and the inking roller transfers the ink to the graphic part of the relief plate attached to the printing plate roll.The raised graphic part is about 0.50mm higher than the blank part. The ink on the printing plate is then transferred to the blanket of the squeegee. It is then transferred to the surface of the composite tubes.

 

Screen printing
In the tubes printing market. Screen printing has its own characteristics.The thick ink layer further highlights the value of screen printing.The printing ink layer is thick and has a strong three-dimensional effect, and the high color saturation looks very bright. The whole picture achieves lifelike colors and attracts the attention of consumers.It can effectively cover the color luster of the tubes itself, especially the dark-colored tubes after the entire tube is printed to show the beauty of radiance.

 

Flexographic printing
The advantages of line and solid printing are obvious.
With the improvement of flexographic plate making technology, flexographic printing has gradually been able to reproduce some more complicated originals. At present, the printed patterns on the surface of the composite tubes are mostly lines and solid color blocks, which just makes full use of the uniform and smooth ink color of the solid color blocks of flexographic printing. The advantage of good repeatability of color reproduction. For discerning customers who pay attention to brand image, flexographic printing just meets their requirements.

 

Gravure printing
In the production process of the composite tubes, the transparent plastic film can be gravure printed, and then compounded, cut and tubed after printing. In this process, gravure printing mainly has the following characteristics.The inner ink layer is not easy to wear.In the process of printing first and then compounding and tube making, the gravure printing adopts the method of inner printing to first print color ink on the surface of transparent plastic film, then print white ink, and then compound after film printing.
