Have a Look at Our Plastic Tubes
Clear Plastic Packaging Tubes
At Petro Packaging, we only use the finest raw materials in the industry to create seamless, shatterproof, crystal clear, semi-rigid, thin wall containers. Our containers are always lightweight, convenient for the consumer and, of course, cost-effective. Our plastic tubes offer maximum protection against dirt and dust and our flexible containers give your products the best opportunities to shine through.
Clear plastic tube containers are offered with a sealed bottom or are open ended. They can be paired with our caps and plugs and they make the perfect reusable product.
- Sealed Bottom Clear Plastic Tubes.These are our most common type of plastic packaging tube. These sealed bottom tubes are always made-to-order and they allow our customers to specify the length of their package to ensure proper fit of their products. A clear plastic base is applied to one side of the packaging, and one cap or plug is then applied to the open end. Using just one cap or plug reduces labor and assembly costs and makes this sealed bottom tube one of our most popular.
- Sealed Bottom Clear Plastic Tubes come in Round Sealed Bottom Plastic Tubes, Threaded Sealed Bottom Plastic Tubes and Shaped Sealed Bottom Plastic Tubes. Round sealed tubes are the most popular, and threaded sealed tubes are perfect for a heavier product, while the shaped sealed tubes are utilized to prevent the package and its contents from rolling around when placed on a horizontal surface.
- Open Ended Clear Plastic Tubes.These tubes offer a more symmetrical look using two plug caps to close each end. Open ended tubes are made-to-order and you specify the length of the tube. They can also be purchased in prepackaged cases of 18” lengths. The customer has the ability to cut tubes to any desired length, when they are ordered by the case. This works well when you are not sure how long you need the tubes and you can make them as long as they need to be.
- Open ended tubes comes in Round Open Ended plastic tubes and Shaped Open Ended plastic tubes. The round open ended tubes allow for a 360-degree view of your product and the shaped open ended tubes offer a more symmetrical look when utilizing two plug caps on each end.
