New cost-effective alternative to packaging tubes

FOR processed cheese, creams, spreads, fish pates, mayonnaise, mustard and many other pasty products, Poly-clip System introduces a clever, new packaging as cost-effective alternative to tubes: The “clip-tube”.

The clip-tube is a tubular package clipped on each end, supplemented by an extrusion nozzle on a threaded end piece and a closure cap. The CBS Cap Bonding System opens up new market opportunities with this extremely competitive package.

Features and advantages

The clip-tube can be produced in pack sizes from 30ml with diameters ranging from 18 mm to 50 mm, offering decisive advantages over conventional tubes:

(1)  The package is pleasant to the touch and easier to squeeze.

(2)  After each extrusion the material tension of conventional tubes sucks in air which could react with the content – this does not happen with clip-tube.

(3)  A conventional tube is rarely emptied completely – the soft film of the clip-tube provides a simpler and better solution enabling the entire contents to be used up completely.

(4)  Compared to conventional conical tubes, the cylindrical shape of the package permits a higher packing density in the box in only one work step.

(5)  The package requires less space in the rack because a Euro hanger can be attached which permits the packages to be suspended for presentation, even in refrigerated counters.

(6)  The clip-tube improves visibility in the rack and differentiation from competition products.
