Decoseam™ 240 line
Ultimate solution for high-speed, high-quality, 360° decorated laminate tube production
With rising demand for label-quality printed laminate tubes in the cosmetic market, Aisa’s Decoseam™ 240 line offers a high-performance solution for the production of 360°-decorated laminate tubes in round or oval formats, from Ø12.7 mm to Ø63.5 mm. Three types of laminate tubes can be produced: Decoseam™ or overlap in Ø19 mm to Ø63.5 and Decoseam™ nano in Ø12.7 mm to Ø25mm.
Thanks to Decoseam™ technology, tube producers can now deliver laminate tubes with the same seamless look as extruded tubes, while standing out visually, even in high-volume bottle markets.
Capable of handling asymmetric laminates and paper, across a broad range of laminate thicknesses, this line enables the production of complex, functional tube formats that meet the growing demand for light weight and sustainable packaging.
At the heart of the system, Aisa’s Saesa® technology sets standards in tube manufacturing by seamlessly assembling sleeves with pre-moulded shoulders and caps. This advanced process eliminates cooling related speed reductions, ensuring precise, efficient, and consistently high-performance production throughout the entire tube diameter range.
Operating at up to 240 tubes per minute, the KSM 240 is also the most cost-effective solution for heading and capping large-diameter laminate tubes. It offers a significant reduction in capital investment compared to compression moulding, thanks to the use of the same mandrel for both heading and capping, removing the need for a separate capping machine.
Highly valued for its ability to handle a wide range of component types, the Decoseam™ 240 line is our fastest line available for producing tubes with functional component shapes such as shoulder-less designs, increasingly chosen by cosmetic brands aiming to reduce packaging weight and their carbon footprint.

Key benefits
Productivity & Efficiency
- High-speed line capable of handling large diameters up to 240 tubes per minute, for reduced operational costs on large volume tube orders
- Saesa® component assembly technology, which eliminates mould cooling speed impact from tube making, improves performance
- Fast tooling changeovers for reduced downtime
- Compact design with reduced floorspace requirements
- Single mandrel for heading and capping, no separate capping machine required
- Improved maintenance accessibility
Decoration Capabilities
- Decoseam™ 360° decoration for superior side seam performance and outstanding appearance
- Ideal for large cosmetic tubes of highest quality, an alternative to bottles
Sustainability & Materials
- Compatible with a wide range of laminates, including metallised PE, paperboard and asymmetric laminate structures
- Ideal for brands aiming to meet environmental impact reduction goals as it supports recyclable PE and PP, paper, and PCR-based laminates
- Best solution for producing cosmetic tubes with functional heads, such as shoulder-less or one-piece pumps, which are challenging to produce with compression moulding
Quality & Integration
- Advanced and user-friendly AI-driven quality control systems
- Orientation systems for sleeve, shoulder and cap alignment
- End-to-end Aisa-made solution
