MORE SAFETY AND APPEAL, LESS WEIGHT.

TUBEX DEVELOPS THE IDEAL AEROSOL CAN FOR CUSTOMERS.

Aerosol cans made of aluminium multiply the success of products a million times over. That’s why we place special emphasis on developing “your” aerosol can.

All the advantages: concept, design, toolmaking and production – completely made in Germany.

5 STEPS TO THE IDEAL AEROSOL CAN.

  • Kick-off: We individually define the requirements for “your” can.

  • Design: Shape, material and design are tested in the prototype, then presented and optimised with your teams on site.

  • Line trial: Competent technicians with many years of experience ensure the highest quality when starting up the production line.

  • Pilot production: For filling and market testing, the initial series is produced.

  • Mass production begins – with certified processes and continuous quality control.

SHAPE AND DESIGN:

PRECISION IN DETAIL.

Developing the can design takes weeks, printing only needs fractions of a second. The quality of the inks, the coatings, the machines, and the expertise of the team determine your products’ shelf appeal. In addition, TUBEX offers the advantages of in-house print-proofing. Here, designs and effects can be tested confidentially and individually – outside of line production – and optimised on site.

The 5 advantages of TUBEX design development:

CONSULTING

Individual advice on application, shape and design for every can shape and every content – right from the start.

EXPERIENCED DESIGN TEAM

Our specialists develop and optimise the can print – using an innovative 8-colour printing technique that boosts both the brand and the product image.

PRINT-PROOFING ON SITE

Together with the TUBEX design team, customers assess and optimise the printing results of the can: in TUBEX’s separate print-proofing room.

INTERNAL POWDER-COATING

TUBEX is the only supplier able to offer solvent-free internal powder coating for aerosol cans.

DISCRETION

In-house tool and design development ensures highest confidentiality for new developments.

GORGEOUS, GUARANTEED:

ECO-FRIENDLY COATINGS.

Inks and coatings should be chosen for their look, but also with a view to their raw materials. For 20 years, TUBEX has been developing both aspects with various suppliers, taking application, consumption and environmental criteria into account.

Peace of mind for our customers: in terms of the product, the look, the function and the environment.

PCR: WE TAKE YOUR ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT INTO OUR HANDS.

Ecological arguments are an image and sales factor. TUBEX offers aerosol cans made from 100 % recycled aluminium standard (PCR) and up to 60 % genuine recycled consumer aluminium (real PCR). Certified by exclusive suppliers.

For example, TUBEX was involved in developing the patented aluminium alloy “Neucan 3.1” with a real PCR option. It achieves up to 20 % less weight with the same stability, and saved 2,000 t of aluminium by using material from consumers – in 2020 alone!

8 ECO POINTS FOR TUBEX:

SHAPED FOR SUCCESS.

Form follows function – and the target group. That’s why our design team develops exclusive shapes for aerosol cans that not only “function” but have appeal. TUBEX customers shall be entitled to strive for IP-protection and use of shapes being designed exclusively for them.

Shape development “Made by TUBEX” Your TUBEX advantages:
  • In-house toolmaking for fast and flexible development of exclusive can shapes.

  • Patented alloys enable lighter shapes with high stability.
