ESTUBE WITH LIGHT POSITOP CAP

Ø50 flexible plastic tube manufactured using IML technology, fitted with a lightweight fliptop-type closing system. The tube and cap, both made out of polypropylene, result in an easily recyclable single material packaging solution. This characteristic, together with the new supply- chain model using EST technology (short runs, delayed differentiation) meaning stock optimisation for the customer with the ensuing drop in elimination due to obsolescence.
