Tubopack

What Tubopack does

Tubopack S.A. is a Chilean private corporation of Swiss origin that manufactures laminated collapsible tubular packaging, operating from a single production facility at Cordillera 198, Quilicura, Santiago. The company produces tubes in two primary formats: ABL (Aluminium Barrier Laminate) tubes with an integrated aluminum layer for highest-barrier pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications, and PBL (Plastique Barrier Laminate) tubes using an EVOH barrier layer for products where plastic-only construction is preferred. Manufacturing relies on flexible polymeric laminate processing, AISA high-frequency welding and PSG-TET plastic injection for shoulder formation, and decoration through Letterpress UV printing (up to six colors plus varnish) and digital CMYK printing with millimeter-level precision. The company also offers a Fast Delivery service for 1,000-5,000 unit orders fulfilled in five business days and an Outlet channel for discounted inventory.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Tubos Laminados (Laminated Collapsible Tubes) Laminated collapsible tubes that combine aluminum and plastic barrier benefits and are decorated with high-definition HD printing via offset Letterpress UV or digital CMYK technology. Multiple barrier layers protect contents from volatile-substance leakage and UV rays. Aimed at pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, and industrial manufacturers.
• Tubos ABL (Aluminium Barrier Laminate) Collapsible metal-plastic tubes with a thin aluminum layer integrated between plastic layers, providing superior barrier protection. Designed to meet the highest quality standards for pharmaceutical and cosmetic products.
• Tubos PBL (Plastique Barrier Laminate) Laminated tubes without aluminum, featuring an EVOH (Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol) barrier layer that protects contents and extends product shelf life. They offer greater 'memory' than ABL tubes, returning to original shape after each use.
• Fast Delivery Urgent packaging delivery service allowing customers to choose from standard tube configurations, order 1,000 to 5,000 units, and receive products in 5 business days. Aimed at B2B customers in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, and industrial sectors needing time-sensitive packaging supply.
• Outlet (Discounted Tubopack Products) Discounted packaging products section offering reduced prices on Tubopack tubes while maintaining company quality standards, providing B2B customers a lower-priced option for laminated tube inventory.
