Abstract Plastic and laminate tubes are packaging solutions existing since a long time for oral care, cosmetic and food applications. These packages are less used in pharmaceutical because they traditionally present barrier weaknesses in the moulded shoulder. This area is effectively a barrier "hole" where oxygen and volatile organic compounds can readily escape the packaging systems. Aisapack has developed an ultimate plastic barrier tube with integrated multi-layer tube sleeve and shoulder providing a total barrier system. Composition, production and performance of these barrier tubes will be discussed.
