Laminate Tube |
||
| Enhanced Graphics | Full tube surface decoration, allowing maximum flexibility and graphics with greater impact. |
Limited printing potential restricts graphic coverage with gaps at the top and bottom of the tube. | Good graphics but require high minimum runs. | ||
| Enables photo-quality graphics on the entire tube. Seamless look. |
Peeling risk for stick-on labels. | A visible seam. | |||
|
All parts made of polypropylene, enabling easier recyclability in PP stream. |
Consists of an LDPE body, HDPE, shoulder/neck and PP cap; therefore cannot be recycled. | Consists of an LDPE body, HDPE, shoulder/neck and PP cap; therefore cannot be recycled. | ||
| Does not require glue. |
Potential use of glue which may contain hazardous ingredients. | Potential use of glue which may contain hazardous ingredients. | |||
| Save 35 % greenhouse gas emission and 300 months of household energy use by recycling 1 million tube (LCA available upon request) |
Higher energy demand, global warming, acidification, eutrophication and ecotoxicity even with the use of up to 35 % PCR. | Higher energy demand, global warming, acidification, eutrophication and ecotoxicity even with the use of up to 35 % PCR. | |||
| Less production energy. |
Higher production energy. | Higher production energy. | |||
| Production Efficiency | Tube and cap produced and decorated with only 1 injection molding procedure in the same plant. Each plant on each continent is equipped with the same production equipment. This efficient process enables, consistent quality, shorter leadtime and lower cost. Also enables standardized tubes produced locally on each continent. |
Requires additional manufacturing steps and additional component sourcing leading to longer leadtimes and more wastage and thus to higher cost and lower sustainability. Plants tend to specialize in sizes and shape leading to some tube sizes being produced in other region. | Requires additional manufacturing steps and additional component sourcing leading to longer leadtimes and more wastage and thus to higher cost and lower sustainability.
