Provided is a method for making barrier tube shoulders. The method includes forming a parison from a multi-layer laminated structure having an inner layer that faces an interior of the parison, an outer layer comprising an exterior surface of the parison, and an interdisposed layer between the inner layer and the outer layer, wherein the interdisposed layer is a flavor barrier layer. The method also includes providing an extrusion blow molding (EBM) mold comprising at least one cavity shaped as a barrier tube shoulder, positioning the parison in the EBM mold, and blow molding the parison such that the parison substantially conforms to the EBM mold to form a barrier tube shoulder having the barrier layer.

The multilayer container includes a container body having a multilayer structure and a multilayer head of the container. The multilayer body of the container has at least one barrier layer connected, on one side, to at least one thermoplastic layer and heat sealed in a longitudinal overlapping joint formed of the edges of these layers. The body has its external surface covered with a polymeric coating, and the multilayer head of the container includes at least one non-metallic barrier layer connected, on one side, to at least one thermoplastic layer and is wholly extruded in the co-extrusion process. The essence of the invention is also a method for producing such a container.

The present invention relates to a method for producing a squeeze tube with maximal surface area labeling and a tube produced thereby.

The present invention relates to a flexible tube for a product having a liquid or pasty consistency, comprising: a tube head (1) comprising a shoulder (12) and a neck (11), a skirt (2) having a proximal end (21) which is connected to the tube head (1) and a free distal end (22), the skirt (2) forming an internal volume which is adapted to contain a product having a liquid or pasty consistency,
characterized in that the proximal end (21) of said skirt (2) comprises a plurality of flaps (24) and a plurality of notches (23) separating said flaps (24), said flaps (24) being folded so as to cover all or part of the shoulder (12).

Provided is a tubular container capable of improving extractability of contents inside the container. The tubular container includes: a trunk portion having a tubular shape one end of which is closed, the trunk portion being formed by using a film member containing a resin material, and being capable of storing contents therein; and a spout portion attached to the other end of the trunk portion, and capable of closing the other end of the trunk portion. On a peripheral portion of the spout portion, the other end of the trunk portion is attached to a surface, of the spout portion, on a side opposite to the one end of the trunk portion.
