Al-Shaikh (pvt) Ltd offers a complete range of tube sizes and capacities. This drawing indicates diameter size lengths for various capacities.
Please note that these tables are intended only as a guide. Product formulation, type of fill, and filling machinery used must be considered to determine exact capacity. The capacities shown are based on a standard crimping or sealing allowance. Before deciding the final tube dimension, test filling of the actual product should be made. This will help ensure the tube sizing is appropriate. |

| Plastic tubes can be manufactured in many colors and finishes and decorated using a number of different processes, see as under:- |
| Lacquer |
The finish of the tube can be enhanced with a final coating of gloss or matt lacquer which also provides additional protection for the offset inks and tube. |
UV Printing |
The most intricate designs can be produced in up to seven colors using UV printing. Tubes are printed in-line using the rotary offset process, designs range from line and text to more complex illustrations and vignettes. |
Tube Color |
Tube color can be matched to meet specific customer requirements, a wide range of colors, tints and pearlescent finishes can be achieved. However if the color of the product is itself a feature then the tube can be produced in a clear polyethylene. |
Protection |
Plastic tubes offer effective protection for the majority of products which safeguards the shelf life of the product.
Our tubes can reduce perfume and flavor loss through the enhanced properties of co-extruded (multi-layer) tubes. UV inhibitors can be added to single layer tubes for increased protection for products susceptible to light degradation.
Some products have aggressive ingredients which attack the packaging material; in these instances the barrier layer in co-extruded tubes can protect the tube from the product. |
Durability |
| Plastic tubes do not require a protective outer carton, the material has "memory" which means it retains its shape well and can withstand the rigors of transportation and handling. |
| User Friendly |
Plastic tubes stand upright on the tube cap and allow the product to be easily and hygienically dispensed. The durable nature of plastic tubes means they are suitable for use in many different environments from the bathroom to the beach to the workshop.
A wide range of caps is available to suit the application including smooth sided, ribbed, rounded profile, disc top, and flip top. |
Point of Sale Appeal |
The wide range of colors, finishes and decorative effects on offer adds up to an attractive packaging solution which has a strong impact on the shelf and allows plenty of opportunity for product differentiation.
The appeal of the tube can be further enhanced with snap-on flip top caps which have the advantage in that they can be orientated to the tube design. |
Tube Caps and Closures |
| A wide range of caps is available including smooth sided, ribbed, rounded profile, disc top, flip top screw-on and flip top snap-on. Flip top snap-on caps have the added advantage in that they can be orientated to the tube design. |
