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

An applicator head for a dispenser for cosmetic or pharmaceutical liquids and foodstuffs, having a pump device with a pump chamber, an inlet valve arranged between a suction intake and the pump chamber, an outlet valve arranged between the pump chamber and an applicator opening, and an actuating arrangement with the aid of which an inner volume of the pump chamber is changed. At least two of the three components from the group including the outlet valve, the inlet valve, and the actuating arrangement each include at least one elastic section formed from an elastically deformable material, the elastic sections of the at least two components are integral parts of an interlinked elastic component section of a uniform elastic material having a connection area between the at least two components, and the connection area, in the installed state of the application head, is in an elastically deformed state.

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a tubular body (2) for a packaging in tube form (1), comprising the following steps: ) definition of the geometrical characteristics of the tubular body (2) to be produced; ) creation of an initial image (6) covering the surface of the tubular body (2) to be produced, said initial image (6) having a right lateral edge and a left lateral edge; ) creation of an intermediate image (8) from the initial image (6) by adding a lateral strip (13) to one of said edges of the initial image (6), said lateral strip (13) comprising a copy of the other of said edges of the initial image (6); ) printing of at least one intermediate image (8) on a sheet, the intermediate image (8) being disposed such that the lateral edges of the image are parallel to the direction of unwinding of the sheet; ) cutting of a small strip on each lateral side of the intermediate image (8) to form a final image (10); ) shaping of the sheet as tubular body (2) and edge-to-edge assembly to obtain a continuity of the design between the right edge and the left edge of the image.

A flexible tube skirt (10) has a primary film (20) and a decorative film (30), wherein the decorative film (30) has a decoration substrate and a sealable outer layer (33) The decoration substrate is applied on all of at least one of the surfaces of the primary film (20) and is below the sealable outer layer (33). The flexible tube skirt may be used in a flexible tube.

A blow-molding method for forming a squeezable or tubular plastic container is provided. The method includes molding a preform having a sidewall, an interior cavity, an open end, a closed end, and a neck adjacent the closed end of the preform. The neck of the preform has an engagement structure. The method includes providing a blow mold system including a blow mold cavity. The method includes placing at least a portion of the preform into the blow mold cavity, and blow molding a one-piece container body from the preform by inflating the preform within the blow mold cavity. The container body has an open end, a closed end and a neck adjacent to the closed end. Wherein the open end of the container body is formed from the open end of the preform, and the closed end of the container body is formed from the closed end of the preform. The method includes creating a dispensing opening through the closed end of the container body.

A method and a machine for realizing containers, including at least steps of impressing a shape in relief on a sheet of deformable material, enveloping the sheet about itself and reciprocally joining lateral flaps thereof in order to form a tubular blank, and closing a bottom end of the tubular blank.

A device for manufacturing and/or treating components such as flexible tubes from prefabricated tubular bodies includes at least means for supporting the components and means for moving the components in line with a plurality of work stations. The device includes transport means along a main closed path for a plurality of satellite turrets rotatingly mounted on the transport means. The satellite turrets include means for holding a plurality of components, and each satellite turret is rotated by a predetermined angle around its rotation axis when the satellite turret reaches at least one predetermined point of the main path.

The invention relates to an extrusion blow molded tube, which is filled or can be filled by way of its rear end, and the body, shoulder and neck of which are produced in one piece by extrusion blow molding. The tube has an LLDPE-rich layer with an LLDPE content of 50 to 95% by weight, and the average wall thickness of the tube in the region of the body is 0.3 to 0.85 millimeters.

The tube (1) has a multi-layered tube body (3), with a tube liner (19) enclosed by a seamless tube shell (21). An electronic device (17) having an energy store for the delivery of the requisite service voltage for operation is protectively arranged between the tube liner (19) and the tube shell (21), and is not visible from the exterior.

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).
