Tube Making and Finishing

In addition to our direct-on-product printing technologies, we have developed advanced processes for extruded tube production, closure application, labelling, shoulderless cap welding, and automated tube handling between every production stage. Fully integrated with our decoration technologies, these solutions ensure seamless production from start to finish.

By combining manufacturing, finishing, automation, and decoration within a single production environment, we enable the production of fully finished tubes from sleeves or extruded tubes. This integrated approach makes Polytype a trusted partner for complete tube production lines.

Heading

Transforming sleeves into tubes

Once a sleeve has been decorated, the next step is to transform it into a finished tube. Using advanced compression molding technology, Polytype permanently attaches the shoulder to the sleeve with exceptional precision and reliability.

This proven process enables the production of high-quality tubes with a wide range of shoulder designs, combining excellent finish quality, process stability, and manufacturing efficiency.

Membrane Sealing

Secure product sealing

Membrane sealing consists of welding a protective seal onto the product head to guarantee product integrity before first use. Using precise and reliable assembly technology, this process ensures a high-quality finish and consistent sealing performance.

The membrane provides a first-opening guarantee, enhancing product safety, consumer confidence, and protection throughout the supply chain.

Capping

Precise and reliable cap assembly

The capping process consists of securely attaching the closure to the finished tube, ensuring both functionality and product protection. To accommodate a wide range of packaging designs, the process must offer maximum flexibility and precision.

Polytype capping solutions support both screw-on and snap-on caps, with precise torque control and accurate positioning to guarantee consistent assembly quality. The result is a reliable, efficient, and versatile process that ensures optimal product performance and a premium finished appearance.

Labelling

Applying labels with precision

When direct-to-shape decoration is not the preferred solution, labelling provides a flexible and efficient alternative. Polytype’s labelling solutions apply self-adhesive labels to a wide range of containers with outstanding accuracy, speed, and repeatability.

Designed for seamless integration into production lines, this reliable process ensures precise label positioning, consistent presentation, and high production efficiency across a variety of packaging formats.
