The application

Lamitubes

Laminated tube web is printed flat, then formed, seamed and filled. The ink has to stay flexible through forming, resist the product inside — toothpaste, cosmetics, ointments — and survive the squeezing the tube receives in use.

UniCure Tube is formulated for that sequence, and pairs with TLC 87RC, our flexible, product-resistant varnish for laminated-tube web. Both are available in low-migration versions where the fill is oral care or pharmaceutical.
