Metallic Look, Fully Recyclable.

Tube description

“RACE” is a Ø35 mm oval tube produced with Decoplas™ extrusion labelling technology and Ultralight™ compression moulding on the PTH 120 for heading and cap assembly. This advanced process represents a true breakthrough in sustainable, recyclable, and eco-friendly packaging.

Manufactured on our Decoplas™ 120 line, the RACE tube represents the perfect blend of high-end design and sustainability, offering both tube manufacturers and brand owners a solution that complies with today’s regulations while aligning with consumer demand for eco-friendly packaging.

Through an innovative material, the tube achieves a distinctive silver look without aluminium foil or metallised PET — materials that are no longer compliant with current regulations. This revolutionary step in materials innovation delivers luxury appeal while ensuring full recyclability and a reduced environmental footprint.
