A tube is a hollow and cylindrical container, made up of plastic, aluminum or paperboard and is primarily used for containing viscous liquids such as ointment, toothpaste and adhesive among others. During manufacturing and filling processes, both ends of the tube are treated in a different way. There is an oval orifice on one end of the tube body, which can be closed by caps and closures. The other end is folded or sealed after addition of contents. Tube packaging containers are extruded and customized with printing, labeling, punching, slicing, crimping and other fabrications in order to create a functional and unique package.
