TRACE also integrates an innovative monomaterial flip-top closure, replacing the traditional multi-part shoulder and cap assembly with a single lightweight component. This design achieves up to 70% weight reduction compared to standard solutions while supporting improved recyclability.
The tube delivers a striking metallised appearance without the use of aluminium foil or metallised PET, helping meet increasingly strict recycling requirements while maintaining strong shelf appeal.
Compatible with tube diameters from 19 mm to 63.5 mm, Decoseam™ technology opens new possibilities for cosmetic tube producers seeking to combine premium decoration, sustainable materials, and high production performance. The technology is compatible with a broad range of laminate structures, including PCR-containing and paper-based materials, supporting the industry’s transition towards more recyclable and resource-efficient packaging solutions.
The Tube of the Year competition recognises innovative and technically advanced tube packaging solutions from across the industry. The 2026 winners were announced during the annual conference in the United States.
