The advantages of Aluminium tubes in small formats
Compact, precise and safe: Aluminium tubes in small format are ideal whenever content protection and dosing precision are essential. They allow the product (and its brand) to be easily conveyed and made known to a wider audience; but they are also excellent anti-waste solutions for all those occasions when a smaller quantity of product is needed. The production of tubes in small formats requires special expertise that not all packaging manufacturers can boast. Among them, Tubettificio Perfektüp stands out for its long experience, particularly in the pharmaceutical sector.
The applications of small-diameter Aluminium tubes
Wrongly considered a packaging ‘niche’, Aluminium small diameter tubes lend themselves to many interesting applications:
- Ophthalmic creams, gels or ointments
- Dermatological creams for targeted applications
- Oral care and hygiene gels and ointments
- Single-dose or travel-size cosmetics, such as serums or anti-ageing treatments
- Over-the-counter, dental office or beauty-box samples
- Courtesy kits for hotels, airlines or cruise ships
- Natural or preservative-free formulations requiring highly protective packaging
In all these cases, containers are needed that guarantee total barrier protection, hygiene, precise dispensing of contents… and impeccable aesthetics. The Aluminium tube meets all these requirements, even in small formats.
Precision in Every Millimeter
At Perfektüp, the production of small formats follows a dedicated and highly controlled process. Every detail, from wall thickness to nozzle symmetry, is handled with extreme precision, for results that meet the highest quality standards.
Working on small diameter tubes means facing a double challenge: technical and qualitative. The smaller surface area makes every production step, from extrusion to offset printing, more complex and requires high-precision machinery as well as strict in-line quality control.
Our working method, modelled on the demanding requirements of the pharmaceutical industry, includes:
- Inspections throughout the production chain
- Quality control tests on resistance and barrier
- A certified Six Sigma approach
- Constant client support through our in-house Quality Control Department
