Produced using the extrusion process, plastic tubes are available as either mono-layered or multi-layered .   A “Sleeve” is produced from virgin resin and colorant on an extrusion line.  The tube “Sleeve” diameter and length are determined by the extrusion equipment.  Once the “Sleeve” is produced, the tube head is fitted using an automated heading machine.

ABL Tubes combine an economically friendly product with high-quality printing options. ABL cosmetic tube can be used to hold aggressive products including liniment creams, makeup tubes, essential oils, toothpaste tubes, and many different pharmaceutical and industrial products. ABL tubes are processed into a sheet made of aluminum and plastic. This is through a process called co-extrusion compounding.

This machine is primarily targeted towards the cosmetic industry, creating a highly hygienic process and barrier for performance requirements. As the development of ABL its technology increases.
