Are you in the process of product development and looking for a packaging solution for your viscous liquid products, such as adhesive glue, cream, gel, lotion, and paste?
Although some product developers would prefer plastic containers, aluminum collapsible tube is always an option to consider because of its distinctive advantages — being collapsible, recyclable and corrosion-resistant.
If you are considering using aluminum collapsible tube as container, you might be wondering how to determine the right size of tube for your product. Here are some tips to think about.
- Determine the desired capacity of your product. What is the proper volume for one piece of your product? For example, once you decide that 3 ml to 5 ml is optimal, you have narrowed down your options.
- For 3 ml to 5 ml, the suggested dimensions of aluminum collapsible tube would be 11.6 mm, 12.5 mm or 13.5 mm in diameter (refer to the chart for other examples).
- With these options in mind, it is recommended that you contact a tube supplier or a re-packager to discuss further on the details. Since the exact capacity varies depending on product formulation and filling machinery, it would be great that the supplier or the re-packager conducts a test filling with your actual product. By doing test filling you will see exactly what the packaged product looks like and can thus determine the most appropriate tube dimension.
