PETG Explained March 18, 2020 ![petg packaging](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/petg-packaging.png)Out of the astonishing array of plastics available for use in packaging, one variety stands above the rest. That’s polyethylene terephthalate glycol. It’s a bit of a mouthful, so it’s better known by its acronym: PETG. PETG is a special material with many added benefits that other plastics fail to provide. Here is what makes it so good and why you should consider it as a material for your packaging solutions. ## What is PETG Exactly? [Polyethylene terephthalate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene_terephthalate) (PET) plastics are a form of polyester that can be extruded or molded into a wide variety of products. A variety of PET plastic, it sets itself apart from other plastics with its added glycol. Glycol plays an important role within the material as it prevents crystallization during the thermoforming process. Crystallization is where the material loses its transparency and produces a hazy or translucent effect – not something that is usually desired when creating packaging for products. ## What Makes PETG so Good? There are several clear benefits to PETG as a packaging material: - It is crystal-clear transparent, which makes it perfect for displaying products. - It has more impact and chemical resistance than PET products. - It’s easier to thermoform and mold than PET. - PETG can be FDA compliant meaning it can be used for food and medical packaging solutions. - It’s RF sealable. - It’s extremely durable and strong. - The surface of PETG is suitable for high-quality digital printing applications. - PETG is fully recyclable. - The material is low-cost and affordable. - It does not contain [bisphenol A](https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/bpa/faq-20058331) (BPA), which some experts believe can have harmful effects on people. - There is no waste material or by-product is created during the manufacturing. - It doesn’t produce any toxic fumes or odor. - The material has low smoke density and toxicity. ## The Downsides of PETG There are hardly any downsides to using PETG. The only factor that should be taken into consideration is that PETG is not UV resistant. This means it’s not the most suitable material for long-term outdoor applications. ## Common Uses for PETG Plastic Because of its versatility, PETG is one of the most widely used types of plastic on the market. PETG packaging can be used in a multitude of ways and has the added benefit of being suitable for food and pharmaceuticals. You can find PETG in a variety of [extruded plastic products](https://www.petropackaging.com/top-uses-extruded-plastic-products/) and applications including: - Single-use applications such as drinking bottles and food packaging - Medical implants and braces - Medical device and pharmaceutical packaging - The material used in 3D printers - Retail displays and sales stands - Graphic displays and signage - Sealed packages - Protective coatings and guards - Electrical packaging - Blister packaging for tools and devices - Cosmetics and personal care packaging For a more detailed list of PETG’s capabilities, properties, and applications, you can view our [PETG datasheet](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/PETG-Copolymer-Polyethylene-Terephthalate-Glycol.pdf). ## PETG is Your Ideal Packaging Solution If you would like a professional-looking packaging option that is safe to use, recyclable and ultra-transparent, PETG is the way to go. No other plastic comes close to offering the clarity that allows your products to be displayed or showcased in such an eye-catching manner. Using PETG packaging will set you and your business apart from your competitors and allow your products to stand out on the crowded shelves of stores and shopping malls. Not only that, PETG will do an excellent job of protecting your items from damage and degradation, which minimizes the costs incurred from such issues. ## Choose Petro Packaging Company Inc for Your PETG Plastic Packaging At Petro Packaging Company Inc, we have over 40 years of experience in creating plastic extrusions for use in packaging and product displays.

Experienced artists are moving away from the old method of paint brushes and are now using hand-crafted oil sticks – same texture as oil paint but with the control of using a pastel or crayon. Our tubes are first used as a mold to form the shape of the oil sticks. Then after they are formed, the sticks are then placed in a new clear plastic tube with natural slip-on caps at each end. The tubes keep the oil sticks protected so any damage or breakage is prevented and help keep the sticks from becoming dried out when they are not being used. Click the link below to see well-known artist Richard Robinson paint with the oil sticks that were molded and packaged with Petro Packaging’s clear seamless packaging tubes with natural slip-on caps.

This material has become an integral part of the development of our society and offers simple solutions to our everyday jobs. Like our plastic extrusions that benefit multiple industries and help businesses across the globe daily. If you’re a business owner or interested in learning more, then keep reading! We’re going to explore our plastic c channel extrusion and talk about what it is, how it’s made, and how it could help you. ## What Are Plastic C Channel Extrusions? First off, what are plastic c channel extrusions? Plastic C channel extrusions are an open-faced plastic holder that has sides that twist in. This creates the “c” shape, hence its name. This shape allows users to slip labels, cards, or displays into a structure and then kept in place. The application of this style of extrusion is to display items. For example, a nameplate on the outside of an office door, business card holders, or sign displays in retail stores. They offer great practical use and are reusable. The design allows for easy insert and removal, and the material gives it long-lasting durability. You can customize the holding mechanics, channel size, and color to your specific needs. ## ![custom plastic c channel extrusions](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/custom-extrusions-300x241.jpg)How Are They Made? The plastic extrusion process involves a highly technical machine using gravity to pour melted raw plastic into the barrel of an extruder. There is also an injection method where the machine injects liquid plastic into a mold. With an injection, instead of the extrusion being extracted through a die, it is extracted from a die. The die is where the actual plastic is formed and shaped. The design of the die must encourage even distribution of the plastic throughout the cylindrical profile. If done incorrectly, the product will experience unnecessary stresses that cause warping and invalidity. Once molded, it goes through a water bath to cool and set the shape of the plastic channel. It’s a specific type of shielded bath that’s designed to ensure the plastic’s shape is held while cooling and doesn’t fall apart. You can add extras, like color and UV inhibitors, in either a liquid or pellet form depending on the specifications. ## The Materials We Use There many types of plastic and resin that extruded plastic c channels are made from. Below are the various thermoplastics we specialize in. Thermoplastics are plastics with a low melting point and are easily fabricated into different products. ### PETG Copolymer Or [Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol](https://www.petropackaging.com/petg-packaging-petg-explained/), is a recyclable plastic that releases no toxic fumes or odors. It is transparent and has a high resistance to chemicals and impact. It can be used as a film for food and medical packaging, or injected and made into toys and devices. It can also be extruded into bottles and much more. This is the type of plastic we use for our stock plastic c channel extrusions. ### Tenite CAB Or [Cellulose Acetate Butyrate](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/tenite-cab-cellulose-acetate-butyrate.pdf), yields a lower plasticizer rate. Meaning, it has a higher heat resistance and better dimensional stability. This is a common choice for profile extrusions, containers, and hardware packaging. It does release an odor, but it’s tougher than its counterparts. ### Clear Tenite CAP Or [Cellulose Acetate Propionate](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Tenite-CAP-Cellulose-Acetate-Propionate.pdf), is a popular choice for manufacturing point-of-purchase, packaging, and profiles. This is an FDA approved counterpart to the above Tenite plastic. Hinted by its name, it’s a transparent material with excellent impact resistance. However, it does have a higher plasticizer rate than the Tenite CAB. ## Other Plastic C Channel Materials Other common thermoplastics may include: ### Rigid PVC Or polyvinyl chloride, a very strong and stiff budget-friendly plastic that’s moldable and bonds well with adhesives. This thermoplastic is easy to weld and is often used in constructing tanks, valves, and various piping systems. ### Polypropylene One of the most popular strains of plastic. It has extreme resistance at room temperature. It’s common in the automotive industry and textiles, but [most popular](https://www.creativemechanisms.com/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-about-living-hinges) for living hinges. ### ABS Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene. This possesses strong resistance to corrosive chemicals as well as impact. It has a low melting temperature and is relatively inexpensive. It’s used for lego toys, wall sockets, and keyboards. In recent years it’s been adapted for the use of 3D printing. ## Uses Of Plastic C Channel Extrusions There are various types of plastic extrusions that all serve many different purposes. However, c channel extrusions serve the purpose of helping: - Retail Displays - Store Fixtures - Visual Merchandising - Lighting Display signs, nameplates, and much more will benefit from a c channel extrusion. And more importantly, items that need to _change_ will benefit. That’s what makes this model unique. The function of this channel is to hold things securely, while also allowing users to change the item when necessary. Another popular model is [the plastic h channel extrusion](https://www.petropackaging.com/plastic-h-channel-extrusions/). If you’re interested in the other models of channels, we have stock extrusions of many types. ### The Benefit The benefit of using this product, especially a customized one, is you not only recruit a useful tool, but you invest in a durable product that you can use over and over again. With custom plastic c channel extrusions, you can create the perfect extrusion that fits your business’s needs, and know you won’t have to replace it for years to come. ## Petro Packaging: Handling Your Plastic Needs!

The tubes can have different shapes that fit a variety of different types of pens. You can get custom shapes in round, oval, rectangular, or square. Although these custom shapes are typically reserved for more technical items, they can be a unique way to display pens of any kind. ## What Do They Do Two of the main purposes of clear plastic pen tubes are to protect your product while shipping and distributing from the manufacturing plant, and displaying your product design in stores. Being able to stick your pens inside our clear plastic pen tubes will help you preserve the look and feel of your products. Instead of your product getting damaged while being shipped to your locations, they have a clear container that will keep them from getting rubbed or chipped. The clear tube also helps when your product actually ends up on your shelves. Don’t cover up the pen designs that help your customers choose which ones they want. Display them proudly and let the [design speak for itself](https://www.standuppouches.net/blog/5-ps-of-marketing-why-product-packaging-is-now-part-of-the-mix) while your customers are picking their special pen. Plastic pen tubes also provide space for labeling, which provides information that may not be given on a label attached to a ballpoint device. This can be helpful for the organization or letting the customer know something special about the pen they may not have realized or isn’t on the packaging. Plastic tubes also simplify logistics because products will easily fit into a uniform size tier in both warehouse storage and retail shelving. The consistent shape and stacking options or clear plastic tubes allow you to know exactly how many will be shipped and delivered. ## How to Choose The Right One You have two different options when looking to purchase clear plastic pen tubes for your inventory. You can go with custom options that are more unique to fit specially designed products or stock options that are pre-made for items like pens. ## Custom Options Available As we mentioned before, getting a [custom-made plastic tube](https://www.petropackaging.com/plastic-tubes/custom-plastic-tubes/) for your pen products may be exactly what you’ve been looking for. Many tube producers don’t offer multiple sizes or shapes for your packaging options, but at Petro, our team is ready to work with you to develop the right tube for your needs. The dimensions of a clear plastic tube need to be 0.125″ for the minimum outer dimension, 5.125″ for the maximum outer dimension, 0.010″ for the minimum wall thickness, and 0.375″ for the maximum wall thickness. You can choose from any range we’ve provided to get the right pen tube for your needs. We do specialize in extruding PETG Copolymer (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) Tenite CAB (Cellulose Acetate Butyrate) Tenite CAP (Cellulose Acetate Propionate) plastic. We also have the capability to produce more than these plastics so please contact us if you have any questions about [profile extrusion](https://www.petropackaging.com/what-is-profile-extrusion/) or anything else outside of what we have mentioned ## Stock Options Available For a more standard size clear plastic pen tube model, stock options are available for all store owners. You can choose these options in either PETG or CAB plastics. We still offer a variety of sizes for the outer diameters to the wall thickness. You’ll find ¼” outside diameter to 4″ outside diameter in thin, medium, and heavy wall thicknesses as options when browsing our stock selection. The CAB option was one of the first modern plastics to be heated and formed into a tube in 1956. This material is bio-based, derived from 100% wood byproducts from sustainable forestry practices. Butyrate is known for its exceptional clarity and high gloss, so it’s the perfect material for protecting your pens while shipping and distributing. In addition, Butyrate is tough enough to withstand abuse from handling and stands up well against environmental stress cracking. PETG Plastic offers a combination of features that are unmatched by other similar materials. The PETG’s durability, easy processing, low cost, and clarity offer retailers the most reliable solution for their product packaging needs. Those aren’t the only benefits of PETG material. You can also include its high chemical resistance, good impact strength, and long functional life. Not to mention that it is also environmentally friendly and FDA approved. ## Why Choose Petro At Petro, we are a completely family-owned business that has been developing high-quality premium clear plastic pen tubes for three generations.

Their shape allows for a 360 degree view of the product inside and they are often utilized to protect and display its contents at the point of purchase. This made-to-order item allows the customer to specify the length of their package to ensure their product will fit inside perfectly. A clear plastic base is applied to one side of the package creating a strong permanent seal, and one corresponding Cap or Plug is applied to the open end to complete the package. Applying just one Cap or Plug reduces labor and assembly cost making it the ideal economical solution for any application. ![slip on caps](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/slip-on-caps.png) ### Select [![BLK_PolypropyleneSliponCaps.png](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/BLK_PolypropyleneSliponCaps.png)](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/BLK_PolypropyleneSliponCaps.png) ## 1/4″ Polypropylene Slip-On Caps $13.65 -

Packaging tubes for cutting tools provide an inexpensive system to protect industrial tools small and large from the manufacturing floor to the retail display, wholesalers, or direct customers. Soft vinyl caps are tight fitting to ensure tools stay safely inside the tubes. These caps are available in vibrant colors which can help differentiate product lines and organize tool systems either at home or on the factory floor of industrial tool companies and end users. ![cutting tools](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/cutting-tools.png) ![Caps and Plugs](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/caps-and-plugs.png) ## Frequently ordered sizes of packaging tubes for cutting tools ![](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Packaging-for-Industrial-Cutting-Toolschart.jpg) Petro also offers stock Open End Tubes in all 17 diameters for our customers who prefer to cut the tubes down to length themselves and package tools of various lengths.

We are all about creating top-quality custom profile extrusions. Because these make up a large part of our manufacturing, our capabilities run from the simple “U” shaped profiles to 6″ wide, with more complex configurations. Perhaps you don’t know exactly what you need. Our professional sales representatives will assist you in making the best choices. At Petro Packaging, we know customers look for: - Reliability and quality, which we provide with both our products and our personalized customer service. - The ability to obtain a new packaging solution for a brand new product. - More effective packaging solutions for existing products. Give us a concept and we will create it for you. Our goal is your ultimate satisfaction and that goes for any custom extruded plastic profile. We offer in-house tool and die makers as well as experienced production personnel who will guarantee a finished product that will meet all of your critical requirements. We are not a one-size-fits-all company. ## Custom Extruded Plastics Materials We Use Include: - PETG Copolymer ( [Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene_terephthalate)) - Tenite™ CAB ( [Cellulose Acetate Butyrate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose_acetate)) - Clear Tenite™ CAP ( [Cellulose Acetate Propionate](http://polymerdatabase.com/Polymer%20Brands/CAP.html)) We specialize in these materials but are not limited to them. Custom extruded plastic can be manufactured in any color and can be opaque or translucent. ## Solving Clients’ Issues If you’re in a bind and you need a better solution, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. One problem we’re familiar with is businesses who send product samples to their clients as part of direct mail campaigns. Such campaigns are important to companies, such as clothing retail stores, so what happens when the mailing tubing the firm uses is no longer approved by the United States Postal Service? If something like this has happened to you and you are looking for a company that can replace these tubes, we’re your supplier. Whether you require mailing tubes or other mailing products or plastic products, it’s imperative for your brand that you make a good impression. To be seen in a positive light so that people reach out to you, you need attractive and effective packaging. Your solution needs to be approved by the USPS and able to withstand all kinds of weather. You can rely on Petro Packaging for all of your needs, from [plastic cosmetic tubes](https://www.petropackaging.com/wholesale-plastic-cosmetic-tubes/) and [plastic golf ball containers](https://www.petropackaging.com/plastic-golf-ball-containers/), to more complex custom designs. One custom requirement we’ve been asked to fulfill was specific vinyl caps inside mailing tubes to secure the product inside. If you have custom requirements – whether you can picture the exact solution or not – let us know and we can make it happen. We pride ourselves on on superior customer service and superior product quality, so your brand is in safe hands with us. And we are always available to answer your questions. ## Custom Extruded Plastic Tubes Our custom extruded plastic tubes will get your product to where it needs to go and without damage along the way.

As a business owner, you are responsible for the safety of your employees and providing a healthy work environment. You can make your business safer and more sanitary by using extruded plastic channels to join acrylic sheets used as protective safety partitions at check-out counters or between co-workers. Here’s how extruded plastic channels can benefit your business. ![extruded plastic channels for office kitchens](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/extruded-plastic-channels.jpg) ## Why Is This Now Essential? The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic changes the way businesses operate due to new rules, regulations, and guidelines, which states all business must make their best efforts to prevent or reduce the transmission of COVID-19 among employees. In addition to sending employees who show symptoms of Coronavirus home or advising them to stay home, business owners also need to: - Perform in-person health checks - Conduct a thorough hazard assessment of their establishment - Implement wearing face masks in the workplace - Cleaning and disinfecting surfaces and common items (keyboards, mice, etc.) Using extruded plastic channels with clear protective shielding in all common areas of your business can improve your efforts to remain compliant with the current COVID-19 regulations and help stop the spread. ## How Do Extruding Plastic Channels Benefit Your Business? Our extruded plastic channels used in conjunction with safety partitions help you provide a safe work environment for your employees. Some face masks have been discovered to be thin and not very protective, so safety shields provide an additional layer of protection. Plastic partitions and joiners are inexpensive and durable, so they can be sanitized over and over, or disposed of and replaced, which helps control the spread of bacteria and disease. Since the plastic shields are able to have 3 walls through the extruded plastic channels, you don’t have to worry about employees being exposed on the sides. ## Additional Steps You Can Take to Protect Your Store During the COVID-19 Pandemic ### Create a Plan With the spread of Coronavirus, operating a business without a plan could be chaos. During these uncertain times, you need a backup plan and an emergency plan to ensure you and your employees are as safe as possible. Your business plan needs to define: - The steps you are taking to protect your employees - What employees need to do if an outbreak occurs in the workplace - A list of emergency numbers in case an incident occurs - What happens to your business in the event of an outbreak ### Establish a Work-From-Home Policy If you can, establish a work-from-home policy to keep your employees safe and at home while still being able to perform specific duties and tasks. With cases of Coronavirus in every state, you want to make sure you are taking as many precautions as possible to safeguard your employees and your business. ### Provide Frequent Updates for Managers Your business will operate smoothly if you maintain frequent communication with your managers. No one likes to be left in the dark about changes in policies and other business procedures. ### Keep Employees Updated Keeping your employees updated is also essential for maintaining proper business operations. You can send emails and memos to help employees understand the steps your business is taking to keep them safe and other business matters, such as the steps for reopening. ### Improve Your Cleaning Strategies and Techniques Properly sanitizing your business, especially the common areas, are essential for the health and safety of your employees. You will need to ask employees to sanitize their desk daily and stockpile antibacteria soap and similar items. it’s a good idea to hire a professional cleaning company to help improve your sanitizing and disinfecting efforts to help keep you and your employees safe. ## Petro Packaging Company Is Here For You We understand that COVID-19 has changed the way everyone conducts business, and we’re here to help provide you and your employees peace of mind.

Co-Extrusion is the process of extruding a product composed of two or more thermoplastics. It allows for a product to have unique characteristics such as color striping, half-circumference coloration, total encapsulation, or multiple-durometers. This process can be applied to both tubing and profile extrusions to create half-white, half-clear shields for the lighting industry, narrow windows for viewing protected products, or grippers and living hinges for flexible applications. When there are special requirements regarding a product’s appearance or material makeup, a co-extrusion can be the ideal solution.

If you can think of it, the chances are it can be made from plastic. A variety of different processes are used to create plastic products, including extrusion, which is one of the most common. Extrusion is the process of taking a solid plastic mass such as pellets or powders, heating it until it melts, then pushing it through a die, so it forms a shape. [The process](https://www.thomasnet.com/articles/plastics-rubber/plastic-extrusions/) can be continuous so that it produces a continuous line which can then be cut or shaped further. It can also be blown into specific shapes, such as bottles or containers. This makes extrusion an extremely versatile way of creating plastic products. You may be surprised at just how much is created using [custom plastic extrusions](https://www.petropackaging.com/plastic-extrusions/custom-plastic-extrusions/). ## Here are the top five uses for extruded plastic products: ### _Engineering and Construction_ Extruded plastic is extremely strong and robust. It’s not harmful to human health like material such as lead. And it is resistant to chemicals and other substances. This makes extruded plastic an essential material for use in engineering and construction projects. Rigid plastic extrusions are used extensively for: - Piping and tubing - Protective coverings for corners and edges - Edge trim to conceal raw edges - Panels and joining boards - Insulation - Spacers and infill products - Corner jointing and cladding panels - Partitions and gap coverings - Guttering - Protective housing for cables and wiring ### _Electrical Equipment_ Electrical items and equipment can be complex and delicate. This means they are prone to damage without a protective covering. Plastic extrusion can be molded to create insulation for wiring and protective housing. It can also be molded to fit the appliance, creating a pleasing aesthetic. Some of the most common uses for extruded plastic within electronics are: - Capping - Cable trunking - Power tracking for electrical supply - Electrical housing - Protective casing - Electrical conduits - Wire insulation ### _Visual Merchandising_ Goods displays on store floors take meticulous planning and preparation. They are what draw the customer’s eye to the products on offer and are the key to maximizing sales within the retail industry. [Visual merchandising](https://www.intelligencenode.com/blog/visual-merchandising-matters-ever/) can be simple such as shelving or box display, or it can be a complex and artistic design. Plastic extrusions can make a display sturdy as well as visually appealing to the customer. This product is most commonly used for: - Edging and corner protection - Edge trim - Sign holders - Price holders - Corner frames - Graphic display panels - Display cases - Product hangers - Shelf strips ### _Product Packaging_ In every store and supermarket, you’ll find hundreds of examples of extruded plastic products. The crystal clear plastic makes this type of product the perfect way to show off goods while simultaneously protecting them. Common examples of applications made from extruded plastic include: - Cosmetic items and make up - Art and craft materials - Sports equipment - Perfume and cologne - Cutting tools and DIY items - Toys and games - Herbs, spices and other pantry items - Candy ### _The Pharmaceutical and Medical Industry_ The use of plastic is vital within the medical industry. Easily cleaned and sterilized, resistant to degradation and chemical reactions, many medical procedures and equipment are made possible thanks to plastic. The medical industry uses plastic extrusion for: - Drug and medicine containers - Catheter and intravenous drug tubing - Protective housing for medical devices and equipment - Protective casing for sterilized items - Blood and bodily fluid sample containers - Tubing for anesthetic administration - Syringes - Dental tools - Diagnostic and surgical instruments - Implants While these are the top five uses for plastic extrusions, it’s easy to see how they can be used in a huge variety of applications within other industries. ## Choose Petro Packaging Company For over four decades, Petro Packaging Company Inc has been creating extruded plastic products for their clients.

This article will walk you through all you need to know about green cosmetics packaging in the cosmetic industry. ![green cosmetics packaging](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/green-cosmetics-packaging.png) ## Green Cosmetics Packaging Costs Less That’s right folks, just because you’re going with environmentally friendly packaging doesn’t mean you have to hurt your bottom line. Biodegradable packaging has been proven to reduce electricity, emissions, water usage, and solid waste. That means fewer bills for you to pay. By using green cosmetic packaging, you’re reducing the number of materials used in the process, which means more money in your pocket. ## Earn Their Trust If you want to catch the eye of youths, environmentally friendly packaging is perfect for you. When a company is using plastic for packaging, they’re sending a clear message to their customers that they care about the environment. The customer will feel compelled to put the package in the recycling when they’re done and feel good for having used your product. But that’s not all, earning trust means more profit for you. When you establish trust with a consumer — particularly a young consumer — they’re going to keep coming back to you. They’ll tell their friends, family, maybe even make a post on social media, and you’ll soon see more money in your bank. Check out our “ [markets served](https://www.petropackaging.com/markets-served/)” section for cosmetics for more information. ## Feel Good About the Future The consumers aren’t the only ones who care about saving the environment, you might care too. Using recyclable cosmetic packaging is a great way to reduce your cosmetic footprint and bring a positive change into the world. You’ll reduce the amount of product that winds up in dangerous landfills, keep down your CO2 emissions, reduce the amount of energy used, and contribute to a system where the materials can be reused. Not only that, but by adopting green best practices now, you’ll be more equipped to deal with legal changes in the future. The world is getting more green, are you ready for it? ## Build Your Brand If you work in the cosmetic industry, there’s no use denying the fact that your customers are young folks. Young folks these days care about the environment. It’s in the best interest of you, your customers, and your environment to go green. Once you’ve thought about how you can reduce the costs, earn your customer’s trust, and feel good about the future, you’re well on your way to making your products more sustainable.

It’s strong, durable, resistant, as well as extremely lightweight, and cheap to produce. Plastic is so light that it is the most [energy-efficient](https://plastics.americanchemistry.com/Energy-Efficiency/#:~:text=Plastic%20packaging%20helps%20make%20loads,more%20product%20with%20less%20fuel.&text=A%20recent%20European%20study%20found,increase%20in%20greenhouse%20gas%20emissions.) material to use in packaging. More can be shipped using less fuel. For this reason, packaging plastic has long overtaken other more traditional packaging materials, such as glass, wood, fabric, paper, and metal. For example, it takes just two pounds of plastic to transport ten gallons of liquid compared with either 40 pounds of glass or four pounds of metal (aluminum) to do the same job. A recent European study shows that if we replaced plastics with other materials, it would use [57% more energy](https://plastics.americanchemistry.com/Energy-Efficiency/#:~:text=Plastic%20packaging%20helps%20make%20loads,more%20product%20with%20less%20fuel.&text=A%20recent%20European%20study%20found,increase%20in%20greenhouse%20gas%20emissions.) to ship the same amount of products. You may be wondering how many types of plastic packaging are there? What are these different types of plastic used for? What’s the difference between plastics? Keep reading for the answers! ## Different Types of Plastic Packaging Some plastics are better suited to a specific kind of packaging than others. This guide to plastic packaging will outline the most commonly used types of plastic, their properties, and typical applications. ## Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) One of the most commonly produced plastics, this material is resistant to oils, acids, and bases. It’s rigid, flexible, and has good transparency, and very easy to produce. LDPE is a safe option for food and drink packaging. Common uses include: - Packaging that requires heat sealing - Garbage bags - Plastic bags - Coatings on beverage cups and cartons - Stretch film and shrink wrap - Squeezy condiment bottles - Fresh and frozen produce bags - Flexible lids - Wires and cables This plastic can be recycled and is typically made into shipping envelopes, floor tiles, and new plastic bags. ### High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) HDPE is the most widely used plastic for packaging. It’s translucent, tough, and chemical and solvent resistant. HDPE has high tensile strength, making it durable and able to withstand higher temperatures than other plastics. Common uses include: - Bottles for beverages and liquids - Cosmetic bottles such as shampoo and conditioner - Domestic cleaning containers - Grocery bags - Liners for cereal boxes The disadvantages of both types of polyethylene are that they take large amounts of energy to produce. HDPE can be recycled, although the process can be complex. It tends to be recycled into new containers and plant pots. ## Polypropylene (PP) PP is a plastic with a high melting point, chemical resistance, and low moisture transmission. This makes it perfect for holding hot liquids. Some common uses include: - Medicine bottles - Syrup bottles - Yogurt containers - Take-out and deli food containers - Bottle closures and caps Polypropylene is broken down by UV light and is, therefore, unsuitable for use in places with high UV rays levels. Its surface is also problematic for painting, so it cannot be easily used for printing. When recycled, it is typically turned into products for automobiles, tools, and bins. ## Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET, PETE) This plastic has excellent moisture and gas barrier properties, which make it perfect for food containers. It has a solid ability to stop oxygen from ruining the item. It protects and holds the carbon dioxide in fizzy drinks. PET/PETE is also shatter-resistant, smooth, and optically transparent. Common uses include: - Soft drinks bottles - Juice, beer, and other beverage bottles - Bottles for mouthwash - Food jars for condiments and jelly - Microwave meal trays This type of plastic has a low heat resistance making it unsuitable for packaging some kinds of liquid. The recycled flakes from this plastic are in demand for making carpets and other textiles. ## Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC, Vinyl) The world’s [third most produced](https://www.researchgate.net/figure/The-six-most-common-plastic-polymers-produced-worldwide-in-2012-Plastic-Europe-2013_tbl1_273089847) plastic, you have most likely heard of PVC. It is widely used due to its ability to resist oil and chemicals. It has stable physical properties, which make it strong with fantastic clarity. Common uses include: - Clamshells - Blister packs - Shrinkwrap for medical uses - Deli and meat packaging - Heavy-duty packaging bags There are concerns that the by-products of manufacturing PVC are toxic to humans. It is also the least environmentally friendly type of plastic. PVC can be recycled and is usually turned into building materials. ## Polystyrene It can be foamed or rigid and has a high melting point. Stiff with insulating properties, it provides a moisture barrier. Common uses include: - Single-use cutlery, plates, and cups - Meat and poultry trays - Yogurt containers - Egg cartons - Clamshell take-out containers - Protective packaging for electrical and delicate goods This type of plastic is brittle, and UV light degrades the material. Additionally, it is highly flammable, making it unsafe for use in specific industries. Polystyrene is one plastic that has a very low recycling rate. It is recycled, though. Casings for cameras, electrical outlets, and moldings used in construction are all made from recycled polystyrene. ### _![plastic tubes medical](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/plastic-tubes-medical.png)_ ## PETG (Copolymer Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) This plastic offers high chemical resistance, is highly transparent and glossy, tough, and economical to produce. It is also fully recyclable and does not contain BPA. It has low forming temperatures, which make it easily vacuumed. Although not specifically a packaging use, PETG is also used in 3D printing. Common uses include: - Pharmaceutical and medical tubes - Cosmetic containers - Blister packs for tools and stationary - Food and electronics packaging This type of plastic has the lowest number of disadvantages. The main thing to watch out for is that the material can suffer from heat degradation. ## CAB (Cellulose Acetate Butyrate) A thermoplastic cellulose ester with up to 55% butyryl content, CAB is a vital plastic for commercial use. CAB is tough, rigid, and strong, heat resistant with a high-gloss surface. Common uses include: - Tubes for candy, toys, cosmetics, and craft materials - [Clear Mailing tubes](https://www.petropackaging.com/clear-mailing-tubes/) - Hardware packaging - Printing inks - Nail lacquer topcoats - Industrial coatings CAB can also improve coating properties such as hardness and glossiness. ## CAP (Cellulose Acetate Propionate) Tough, rigid, and strong, heat resistant with a high-gloss surface, CAP can be transparent, translucent, or colored. Common uses include: - Tubes for candy, toys, cosmetics, and craft materials - POP (point-of-purchase) display items - Other tube-style packages Both types of cellulose-based plastics have poor solvent and alkaline resistance, making them unsuitable for use with certain liquids. They are also flammable. ## PLA (Polylactic Acid) PLA is made from renewable raw materials and is biodegradable. One of the plastics touted for solving the problem of unrecyclable plastics, PLA is safe for use in food and drink containers. Common uses for PLA include: - Take out cups - Take out boxes - Containers for fruit and vegetables - Plastic film - Plastic bottles - Medical devices that should biodegrade in the body Natural PLA is made from corn starch or sugar cane. Unlike many other plastics, it does not need crude oil for production. The problem with the biodegradable aspect is that you can’t just toss it in a compost pile and expect it to decompose. The right conditions need to be provided for PLA to decompose properly. ## Recycling Plastic Packaging Sustainability and recyclability are two of the biggest packaging and design [industry trends of 2021](https://www.petropackaging.com/packaging-design-industry-trends-for-2021/). The ease of recyclability is now significant for many consumers. Most plastic packaging can be recycled, but some plastic types are more difficult to recycle than others. The codes in a triangular arrow on plastic packaging indicate the type of plastic used to make it. These numbers make the recycling process more efficient. When choosing plastic packaging for your products, consider how easy it is to recycle. ## Choose the Plastic Most Suited to Your Needs Now you have a better understanding of the properties of the types of plastic packaging. This should help you better recognize which type of plastic most suits your company’s needs. If you’re looking to purchase plastic packaging for your products, it’s crucial to research thoroughly to ensure you select the suitable plastic for your needs.

In 2020, mail volume was 129.2 billion units from the United States Postal Service (USPS) alone. [Click here](https://facts.usps.com/table-facts/) to learn more statistics and facts about how the postal system works. Most people are looking for the easiest, cheapest, safest, and fastest way to ship their mail. The plastic shipping tube is the answer. ![image-1](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image-1-1680x1121.jpg) ![mailing](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/mailing.png) ### What are Plastic Shipping Tubes? Clear mailing tubes are plastic cylindrical tubes used to ship correspondence of all types. Vinyl caps create an airtight seal at either end of these tubes. Light duty shipping tubes are made from paperboard, but heavy shipping tubes are made from resilient plastic. The most common tube sizes are 1.5” x 8” and 2” x 10”. These shipping containers are perfect for tall, square packages with a narrow cross-section. Whether it is a critical document, consumer advertising, a free sample, or this month’s rent or mortgage, a clear mailing tube is one of the best packaging options. The translucent material these tubes are made from is the perfect choice for having your advertising leap out. Take advantage of this with your consumer advertising or B2B advertising campaigns. These tubes are cheaper to ship through the USPS and are more durable than paper packaging. Paper packaging is far more likely to be damaged in transit than plastic tubes. Despite their unorthodox appearance, mailing tubes are considered a standard package by the USPS and ship at no additional charges. This low cost and convenience offset the increasing price of mailing rates. ![mail tubes](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/mail-tubes.png) ![Black Postal Tubes](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/black-postal-tubes.jpg) Clear plastic mailing tubes are often used for shipping and protecting important documents, creatively packaging business advertisements, sending direct mail campaigns, product samples, and so much more. Businesses and consumers have chosen to ship their clear plastic mailing tubes via the USPS, as they are the most cost effective. Petro’s clear plastic mailing tubes are a USPS-approved package, and perform considerably better than the alternative paper tubes especially in rainy, snowy, and other inclement weather. Vinyl caps fit extremely snug on each plastic mailing tube, so no additional tape is necessary.

Keep reading to learn more about plastic h channel extrusions and why Petro is your best choice for plastic. ## What Are Plastic H Channel Extrusions? Anytime you see a price tag hanging precariously beneath your favorite at of spaghetti sauce at the grocery store, you’re most likely looking at a plastic h channel keeping that price tag affixed. The plastic h-channel extrusion is sometimes called the “joiner” channel because it joins the panels of different materials. It can connect plywood, Foamex, surrogate, and a variety of other materials. The h-channel can be ordered as both a [stock plastic extrusion](https://www.petropackaging.com/plastic-extrusions/stock-plastic-extrusions/) or a [custom plastic extrusion](https://www.petropackaging.com/plastic-extrusions/custom-plastic-extrusions/). The plastic extrusion process produces a variety of plastic materials. H channel plastic is special because it is shaped like an H. ## How Plastic Extrusion Works The plastic extrusion process starts with a [mass of raw plastic](https://bizfluent.com/how-does-5208405-plastic-extrusion-work-.html) in a hopper hanging above a closed channel. The hopper drops the plastic materials into the channel. Inside the channel is a long screw. The plastic pieces rub against each other as the screw moves them through the channel. The friction along with some external heat causes the plastic to melt into a liquid. Once the plastic has reached the end of the channel, it is molten plastic and ready for a die. A die is a special tool at the end of the channel that [shapes raw materials](https://www.plasticstoday.com/extrusion-pipe-profile/everything-you-ever-wanted-know-about-extrusion/87091596257103) like plastic into a product like the plastic h channel. The die is a metal plate cute that has a hole cut in it. The plastic goes through the hole and is shaped into a specific shape. At the end of the die, the plastic comes out as the new, extruded plastic Then the plastic cools and hardens. Machines cut and prepare the new plastic material, preparing it for shipping or more processing. ## What Makes Petro Plastic The Best?

Our team is here to serve its customers. ### Materials We use the highest quality of [PETG Copolymer](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/PETG-Copolymer-Polyethylene-Terephthalate-Glycol.pdf) (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol), Clear [Tenite CAP](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Tenite-CAP-Cellulose-Acetate-Propionate.pdf), and [Tenite CAB](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/tenite-cab-cellulose-acetate-butyrate.pdf) plastic. While these are our specialty, we use other materials as well. Typical plastic h channel extrusions consist of a variety of different materials. These are some of those materials and how they’re used. - **PVC**: PVC comes in both firm and flexible grades, clear and opaque. It holds its shape well and yet contours to curved surface areas. It has the best impact strength of all plastics and thus people use it both inside and outside for things like gaskets, edge trims, and retention clips. - **Polycarbonate or PC**: You typically see PC used when you need a high-impact resistance material. It has a smooth surface quality as well as colorability. Thus we typically see it used for corner protectors, edge trims, and pricing channels. - **ABS or Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene**: ABS is a high-impact resistance material that colors well. It has a smooth surface, and we see it most often inside rather than outside. - **Polyethylene (PE0) and Polypropylene (PP)**: PE is one of the more flexible plastic while PP is the more rigid of these two poly materials. It works best in situations that do not require UV resistance, so we see it in places like bag closure clips, edge trims, assembly magazines, pool liner clips, and wire covers. - **Acrylics**: Acrylics work best in situations where clarity and economics are high priority. So you see it with price channels and price tag holders along with bin edging, hinge applications, and shelving edging. It does not absorb impact well. ## Trust Petro Packaging and Win A reliable plastic h channel is one piece of a puzzle in your retail world. It means your price tags stay put or your materials stay joined. You can trust Petro Packaging Plastic for all of your plastic h channel extrusion orders.

The reality is that customers are now demanding more than ever from their suppliers. This means that every part of your client experience needs to be better than that of your competitors if you want to keep sales high. The right drill-bit packaging materials could make a measurable difference to your bottom line. Take a look at five reasons that protective end caps enhance the appeal of your drill bit product. ### Protect Your Goods in Transit Events over the past eighteen months have accelerated the trend towards [online purchasing](https://www.digitalcommerce360.com/article/us-ecommerce-sales/). Customers rarely visit a store or outlet in person, preferring to order digitally and have their products delivered. As a supplier, if your products are going to be entrusted to the postal service or a courier, protective packaging for drill bits is essential if they are going to arrive in perfect condition. ### Post-purchase Storage When buyers invest in a product, they usually want to prolong its useful lifespan as far as possible. Specialist drill bit packaging can be used to keep each bit protected when not in use. Plastic drill bit covers provide protection for drill bits and provide an excellent aid to storage. ### Enhanced Sustainability Research shows that [customers care about the planet](https://www.recycling-magazine.com/2020/04/23/31232/) and prefer packaging that can be either recycled or reused. Plastic caps for drill bits offer long-lasting protection. Initially used as packing material, they also assist with ongoing storage. Rather than being discarded once the product has reached its destination, plastic drill bit storage tubes continue to be of use. ### Differentiate Between Different Bits Plastic end caps for bits and rods can be manufactured so that different drill bits have a unique end cap. This can help users to quickly work out which drill bit they need, rather than laboriously attempting to read the figures etched on the bit itself. ### Stand out From the Crowd It’s the little differences that make your product stand out for the right reasons. Bulk drill bit packaging is an economical way to add value to your drill bits, as well as optimize the chances they are transported safely to customers. Ideal for manufacturers that want to provide the very best customer experience, hard-wearing, effective end caps provides a great addition to your packaging materials. [End caps](https://www.petropackaging.com/plastic-tubes/closures/) are a cheap, effective innovation that protects your product and enable end-users to differentiate between drill bits and store them appropriately. Bulk-buy end caps to get the very best prices. With so many advantages, it’s little wonder a growing number of manufacturers are utilizing plastic end caps on their drill bits and related products. ## ![drill bit packaging](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/drill-bit-packaging.png)End Mills…Drill Bits…Bearings…Gears…Welding Rods…Machine Parts…Gages…Etc **.** Whatever the industry, one thing is certain.

Everything You Need To Know December 29, 2020 ## Easier Way to Say, “Cellulose Acetate Butyrate”? When we see long chemical names like cellulose acetate butyrate, most of us immediately wonder what the abbreviation is. CAB is the right one, in this case. Most of you will at least have a passing familiarity with the [most common types of plastics](http://www.wrap.org.uk/collections-and-reprocessing/dry-materials/plastics/guidance/types-plastic-packaging), such as PET, PVC, HDPE, and LDPE, polyethylene, and polystyrene. But few of you would have heard of CAB or have any idea what it’s used for and what advantages it brings to the world of plastics. Just what is cellulose acetate butyrate? Our overview of this packaging material hopes to shed some non-UV light on the matter. Read on to find out more. ## ![Transparent plastic tubes](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/what-is-cab.jpg)What is Cellulose Acetate Butyrate? Cellulose acetate butyrate is an amorphous, transparent cellulosic thermoplastic. It is similar to cellulose acetate but more resistant to weathering and has low moisture absorption. These two properties make it tougher. Common brand names include [Cellidor B](https://www.totalmateria.com/TM_materials.aspx?st=PROPRIETARY&gr=1&ty=638&cl=774&sc=11&db=2&LN=VN) and [Tenite™ Butyrate](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/tenite-cab-cellulose-acetate-butyrate.pdf). Informally, people call it butyrate. We have already mentioned that it is tough, but it is also known for its clarity, surface gloss, and greater rigidity. Its higher plasticizer content (10%) means that it has a higher impact strength. ## Range of Applications Because it has a soft, rubbery feel, CAB is a great choice for many applications. It can be found in products such as ballpoint pens, tool handles, and touchpoints on products such as small appliances designed for non-food contact, and even as jewelry. Its resistance to ultraviolet (UV) rays and weathering make it the preferred choice for items such as exterior door handles and patio furniture. Other areas where cellulose acetate butyrate is a useful material include: - bathroom fittings - steering wheels and other vehicle parts and accessories - building materials - housings for residential devices (alarms, electrical switch boxes) - coil coatings and general industrial coatings - panels for illuminated signs - bubble wrap packaging ## CAB Extrusion As a basic raw material (and much like HDPE and LDPE), cellulose acetate butyrate comes in granular or pellet form. CAB is an excellent thermoplastic for extrusion, one of the manufacturing methods for the processing of plastics (the other being injection molding). This means that Petro Packing Company Inc can manufacture [custom plastic tubes](https://www.petropackaging.com/plastic-tubes/custom-plastic-tubes/) (round, oval, rectangular, or square) to your specific requirements. Designs are often made to order for things like medical components, storage tubes for spare component parts, and retail packaging and mailing tubes. We also receive a surprising number of requests for tubes for use in soil sampling. We routinely engineer custom designs for these special applications. ## Other Cool Things You Can Do with CAB Not all plastics are good as a surface on which to apply paint. CAB is one of the few exceptions. This is because of its good general chemical resistance. CAB can be bonded with plastic adhesives such as methyl methacrylate. Caution must be taken, though, because CAB can be damaged if it comes into contact with alcohol, alkalis, paint removers, and acetones. ## Possibilities in the Automotive Industry Aside from custom tubing extrusions, Petro Packaging produces a range of stock items used in the building industry for slat wall components. These are normally manufactured from PETG Copolymer, but it would be possible to make those same components with CAB. The simple fact is that CAB is becoming more popular and it becomes more widely known. ## Packaging – Mailing and Shipping The basic reason for packaging is to protect the item in transit or protect the item you’re selling. Packaging also helps to make the product look appealing and therefore increase its sales potential. Clear plastic mailing tubes are often used for shipping documents. Clear plastic mailing tubes are often used for shipping documents. Some companies use cellulose acetate butyrate creatively in their advertising and direct mail campaigns. They also use it as packaging protection when mailing product samples. Petro Packaging’s CAB clear mailing tubes are a USPS-approved package. They have proven their superior performance over paper tubes and cartons. That’s mainly because they are weatherproof, and the caps at either end (called closures in the business) fit snugly, obviating the necessity for extra adhesive tape. ## Why use cellulose acetate butyrate clear plastic mailing tubes? - They are often opened first since they are normally put on top of the mail pile. - You can send them via Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express. - The USPS standards consider them a standard package and therefore they attract no additional shipping costs. - They are lightweight, and therefore qualify for USPS First Class Package Service You can also use Petro Packaging’s industrial “mailing tubes” (a standard inventory item) as shipping packaging for: - Items up to 70 lbs in weight such as fishing rods, golf clubs, telescopes, and billiard cues - International shipments Although most mailing tubes are made of clear CAB, you can order tubes in opaque colors if you prefer your shipments to be less visible, or protected from the light. Their durability remains the same. ## Mailing Tube Sizes The most common sizes of mailing tubes purchased are as follows: - 1½” x 8” lengths - [Open-ended tube with vinyl caps](https://www.petropackaging.com/plastic-tubes/clear-plastic-tubes-sealed-bottom/) 2” x 10” lengths - Open-ended tube with vinyl caps 2½” x 12” lengths Again, custom tubes can be made to order, including tubes with one sealed end, with a vinyl cap for the open end. ## POP Marketing Point of Purchase displays have not lost their popularity in stores, despite the rise in volumes on online sales. You can use our CAB tubing both in the construction of the display itself, and to show off products to best effect. Petro’s clear tubes are excellent for point of purchase displays and are used extensively in the confectionery and candy industries for the products themselves. They help to make products visually appealing. All POP display tubes are custom-sized in line with the product being featured. The Retail packaging industry has come to love our tubes for their strength, clarity, and versatility. ## Effective Sales Petro Packaging has a very friendly Sales team. They know quite a bit about plastics too and can help you decide what is cellulose acetate butyrate’s best fit for what you need to achieve, either with your shipping requirements or for your marketing plans.

March 15, 2021 Are you interested in knowing what is profile extrusion? Well, if that’s the case, you’re in the right place. In essence, profile extrusion is the process of making plastic shapes via extrusion. If you’re still confused, we will elaborate on extrusion later in this article. Not only will you learn what extrusion is, but you will get to learn about the equipment used and how the process is completed with real-world examples. So get your notes out, prepare yourself and keep reading to discover more. ## ![what is profile extrusion](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/what-is-profile-extrusion.png)What Is Profile Extrusion? Profile extrusion is a process that extrudes shaped products that can come in a variety of forms but are not part of film or sheet products. Profile extrusion can be done on hollow and solid forms. Products ranging from window frames to tubing to door seals are done via profile extrusion. To process hollow forms, a mandrel is used in the die to hollow out the surface. Multiple hollow parts will require several pins. To create hollow spaces, an air source is needed to let the product maintain its shape and not collapse on itself. In most cases, an air source is pulled through to correct the cavity airflow. If multiple materials are needed to develop a product, co-extrusion is performed. For instance, a drinking straw with several colors on it will need at least 3 extruders. Each extruder will feed its own variation of the material into a central die for co-extrusion. Extrusion can be done on a [custom](https://www.petropackaging.com/plastic-extrusions/custom-plastic-extrusions/) or [stock](https://www.petropackaging.com/plastic-extrusions/stock-plastic-extrusions/) basis. Now that you know what is plastic extrusion, let’s take a look at the process. ## The Process of Profile Extrusion In the extrusion of plastics, resin, or raw thermoplastic material, gravity is the main factor that feeds the top hoppers into the extruder barrel. UV inhibitors, colorants, or other additives in pellet or liquid form can be introduced into the material through the hopper. This process is quite similar to the molding plastics injection, but the main difference is that extrusion is continual. While injection molding offers many profiles in continuous procedures, usually with reinforced, the final product is taken out of the die instead of being extruded the resin fluid from the die. As the materials enter the feed near the barrel rear, it meets the screw. The screw forces the resin into the heated barrel, melting the resin based on the required temperature. In most cases, a heating profile is needed to utilize the [proportional-integral-derivative controller](https://electronicscoach.com/proportional-integral-derivative-controller.html) to get the appropriate temperature. This allows the plastic resin to melt and be pushed through the barrel, as well as reduced the possibility of overheating which will degrade the polymers. At the barrel front, the resin is no longer at the screw and pushes through into a reinforced screen that decontaminates the material. A breaker plate is usually reinforcing the screen because [the PSI](https://www.thoughtco.com/what-does-psi-stand-for-605565) at this point can reach 5,000, which is about 34 MPa. After going through the screen, resin enters the die. The die is what gives the product its shape and is designed in a way that the molten plastic flows into the profile shape. Uneven flow at this point would create unwanted stress at specific points of the profile. This can cause warping of the shape upon cooling. Practically any shape can be designed as long as it has a continuous profile. ## Finalization of Extrusion The final product is now cooled which is done by pulling the extrudate through a treatment bath. Because plastics are thermal insulators, they are quite hard to cool rapidly. Plastic conducts heat away 2,000 times slower than steel. In a pipe or tube excursion, a sealed water bath is in a controlled vacuum to keep the form shaped and the molten pipe from collapsing. In the case of sheet extrusion, cooling rollers are used as the extruder pushes the sheet out. Quite often, a secondary process is used before the product has finished its extrusion process. In the manufacturing process of adhesive tape, another extruder melts the adhesive and applies it to the sheet while it’s hot. When the product cools down, it can be cut into lengths and spooled. Plastic extruders are commonplace in the creation of recycled plastic waste and raw materials after sorting, cleaning, and blending of filament into resin pellet stock that is used by the plastics industry in grande quantities. ## Benefits of Profile Extrusion Profile extrusion is great for companies of any size. The benefits of extrusion are paramount, but here are the most important. ### Efficiency Up, Cost Down The ability to extrude large portions of plastic can make the production chain cost-effective and more efficient. Not to mention, the quality of the product is not decreased in any way. ### Environment Friendly Plastic extruding companies have taken all the possibility to utilize sustainable techniques to prevent waste of resources. Plastic companies typically discard leftover materials in large, profile extruders rarely do. ### Diversity Extrusion offers infinite manufacturing possibilities due to the variable range of products that can be used. Extrusion can create simple wires, tubes, rods, and other things. But it can also accommodate a variety of other shapes and sizes with different characteristics, such as solid, hollow, and intricate. Nowadays, it’s commonly used by the automotive, pharmaceutical, food industries. Without extrusion, it would not be possible to create the products in demand for these industries. The technology gives way to new innovations, such as automobiles, pharmaceutical solid doses, ready-to-eat snacks, and much more. ### Versatility The process of extrusion can deliver products in the most complicated shapes. They can come in varying hardness, size, thickness and texture, and color. ### Additional Benefits of Extrusion Here are some other less prominent benefits of extrusion. They are in no particular order. - Manufacturing flexibility - Continuous operation - Cold extrusion enhances mechanical properties - Hot extrusion allows simple post-completion alterations - Compounding - Production volume - Surface quality The limit in profile extrusion is in the mind. As long as the machinery allows it and you have an idea, it can be done. Perhaps, not on the first try, but extrusion is adjustable and built upon past mistakes. ## The Plastic Profile Extrusion Process Explained Plastics are a popular raw material used in making a wide array of products, ranging from tubing to [energy-efficient vinyl window frames](https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/window-types-and-technologies). The plastic profile extrusion process is a comm­on procedure in the plastic-making sector because it’s readily available and easy to deploy. Many companies prefer handling plastics to other materials because petroleum-based products are easy to model. Read on to learn more about the profile extrusion process. ## ![plastic profile extrusion process](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/plastic-profile-extrusion-process.jpg)Understanding Plastic Extrusion The plastic extrusion process is a straightforward procedure that involves melting down resin beads (raw thermostat material), filtering it and then designing it into a given shape. The rotating screw helps in pushing down a heated barrel to a given temperature. The molten plastic is passed through a die to give the final product its shape or profile. Filtering provides the final product with uniform consistency. Here’s a quick breakdown of the entire process. ### Step 1: The process begins by introducing raw plastic products such as granules and pellets into a hopper and feeding into an extruder. Colorants or additives are added if the raw materials don’t have some. A revolving screw facilitates the movement of raw resin through the heated cylindrical chamber. ### Step 2: The hopper’s raw materials then flow through the feed throat to a sizeable spinning screw within a horizontal barrel. ### Step 3: Different materials have different properties, including melting temperatures. As the raw resin passes through the heated chamber, it’s heated to its specific melting temperatures, ranging from 400 to 530 degrees Fahrenheit. The resin is thoroughly mixed by the time it ­gets to the end of the screw. ### Step 4: Before the resin is passed through a die to create the end product’s shape, it passes through a screen reinforced by a breaker plate. The screen removes the contaminants or inconsistencies that may be in the melted plastic. The resin is now ready to die as it’s fed into the cavity for cooling and hardening. Water bath or cooling rolls can help in fastening the cooling process. ### Step 5: The plastic profile extrusion process should be in such a way that the resin flows smoothly and evenly in the numerous stages. The quality of the final product depends on the consistency of the entire process. ## Raw Materials Used in Plastic Extrusion Process Different plastic raw materials can be heated and created into a continuous profile. Companies use a wide range of raw materials, including polycarbonate, PVC, recycled materials, nylon and polypropylene (PP). ## Temperature Maintenance [Temperature](https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1757-899X/322/2/022036/pdf) plays an essential role in the entire extrusion process. Maintenance of the optimal temperatures is necessary to produce quality products. Failure to maintain the right temperature may minimize the uniform fluidity of the resin. There’s also the risk of the final product warping. You can tell if the temperatures are not constant when pressure, friction and other variables start to develop in the extruder. It’s essential to keep an eye on the heater to ensure no increase or drop in temperature. You can manage the heat within the extruder by lowering, raising or shutting off the heaters appropriately. ## Screw Design The screw plays a crucial role in the plastic profile extrusion process as it facilitates resin movement in different stages. There’s no other moving part in the system. You should consider the design of this device as it determines the heating and feeding rates. The melting rate, the resin size, the raw material type and the pressure required to maintain uniformity are crucial determinants of the diameter and length of the screw. You may even use two screws depending on the extruder you’re using to enable adequate mixing. ## Products Plastic extrusion is about using molten plastic to produce different shapes. The process can be used for industrial purposes or domestic uses. The technology can produce various products such as plastic films, medical packaging, hose mandrels, wire insulations, tubes and rods. - ### Electrical equipment Extrusion is used in [electrical products](https://www.petropackaging.com/top-uses-extruded-plastic-products/) like the insulation of electrical wires. During this process, insulation is extruded around the wire when it’s pulled through the die. The wire must possess features such as abrasive resistance and strong electrical insulation capabilities. Insulation helps in preventing electric shocks and corrosion. - ### Profile shapes The primary process used in the production of long cross-section shapes is extrusion. Most new homes today have vinyl slidings, developed using this procedure. The production of other profile shapes such as rain gutters and windshield wipers also uses the process. - ### Polycarbonate sheeting Extrusion is used in the production of the impact-resistant glass replacement. Window glazing and machine guards can be made from polycarbonate sheeting. The sheeting comes in different thicknesses, depending on the purpose. - ### Solid shapes Extrusion can produce solids in different shapes such as round, square or rectangular, and different lengths. Recycled plastics are ideal in the production of plastic decking and lumber. Extracted plastics are commonly used in fencing and outdoor furniture, such as benches. They’re better than timber because they’re weather-proof, splinter-proof and durable. You don’t have to worry about maintenance when you use these plastic pieces. - ### Pipes Water and sewerage systems rely on extruded pipes in the form of PVC. The pipes come in different diameters depending on the need. For instance, the sewer pipes can be several inches wide, while others like taps have much smaller diameters. You can also get medical products like [plastic medical tubes](https://www.petropackaging.com/plastic-medical-tubes/). ## Benefits Of The Plastic Extrusion Process Plastic extrusion has a multitude of uses in different industries. The procedure facilitates the creation of plastic products in different shapes and sizes. Some of the advantages of this procedure are discussed below. - One of the reasons why extrusion is widely used at the industrial level is because it has a high production capacity. Companies involved in the production of plastic products can scale without any difficulty. - Plastic extrusion is also cheaper than most of the other molding processes. It enables companies to manufacture different plastic products cheaply and sell them at lower prices. - In terms of design, this process offers flexibility that’s difficult to achieve with other molding procedures. You can get any shape from the molten plastic depending on the die used. - Extrusion allows for the production of a continuous profile. - Plastic products are recyclable. The plastic profile extrusion process not only allows for the manufacture of recyclable plastic products but also recycling of waste plastic products. ## Get Plastic Extrusion From Experts Petro Packaging Company Inc. is the best place for you if you’re looking for bulk orders of plastic extrusions and packaging solutions.

They’ll provide the protection needed to make it happen. ## **They’re Waterproof** Not only are plastic mailing tubes tough, but they’re also waterproof. The plastic used to manufacture them will keep any and all moisture away from the contents contained within. Their caps are designed to screw on in an airtight manner. As such, water won’t seep in through them either. This isn’t true of many other shipping packaging types. For instance, a cardboard box isn’t going to keep water out. So, if waterproof capabilities are a high priority, give these serious consideration. ## **They Can Be Used to Display Items** Clear mailing tubes are, well, clear or transparent. Because of this, they can be used to display the items within them. This can be beneficial when marketing an item on a store shelf. After all, customers won’t have to think about what the product looks like. They’ll be able to see it in all its glory. Mailing tubes come in a variety of sizes. So, regardless of what you’re shipping, you should be able to find a mailing tube that meets your needs. ## **They Have Staying Power** It’s not common for a consumer to keep a box from a product they bought. Sure, you might use it to move some items from place to place, but you’ll soon throw it away. In other words, there’s no lasting use for it. Plastic tubes are different, though. They’re unique compared to most packaging options and therefore have more staying power. They’re not only more aesthetically pleasing over time but more functional as well. Now, this is obviously a benefit for the consumer, as they’re able to get further use out of the tube after it’s been purchased. How exactly can this help you, the distributor, though? By allowing you to market your company continually to the same customer time and time again. Let’s say you put your company’s name on the tube. Now, every time one of your customers uses the tube, they’ll see your name and remember that your company exists. This will make them more likely to buy from you in the future. This is why it can be beneficial to invest in packaging with staying power. Clear mailing tubes with caps have this staying power. ## **They Enable Cheap Branding** Another benefit of using clear mailing tubes is that they enable cheap branding. This is because they don’t need to be printed on. They don’t require adhesive labels either, as a box might. Instead, you can simply create a flyer containing [your branding](https://www.bbb.org/article/business/26061-bbb-business-tip-10-branding-tips-every-small-business-should-consider) and put it inside the tube. Because the tube is transparent, the content of the flyer will be entirely visible and thus convey your company’s name and branding thoroughly. This is much cheaper than printing on cardboard or using adhesives. In fact, you could even create flyers using your own handwriting, which would save you money on printing ink. ## **They’ll Help You Stand Out** As we’ve noted, clear mailing tubes aren’t commonly used to ship items to customers. When it comes to the battle of mailing tubs vs. boxes, boxes win by a landslide. The thing, however, is that you can use this imbalance to your advantage. Namely, you can use clear mailing tubes instead of boxes as a means of helping your company stand out. Think about it. When you receive a cardboard box, it’s just one of many. There’s likely very little differentiating it from the other cardboard boxes you’ve received. When you receive a clear mailing tube, however, it’s radically different from what you typically receive purchased items in. The effect of this is that you take greater note of it. You examine it more and remember it better in the future. Of course, you’re not just remembering it, but the company attached to it as well. If you remember the company attached, you’re likely to do business with that company somewhere down the line. ## **They Keep Items Locked in Place During Transit** One last reason to use clear mailing tubes is to keep items locked in place during transit. Items don’t have much space to move around, and so they won’t bounce off one another at high impact while being transported through the mail system. This reduces the risk of damage during transit, and thus keeps your costs down. It also makes for a better experience for your customers. When using boxes for shipping, this isn’t always the case. Sure, you could stuff your boxes [with additional padding](https://www.moving.com/tips/best-protective-packing-materials/). However, that’s just going to increase your costs. Mailing tubes keep the process simple while also keeping costs to a minimum. So, if you can fit your products into mailing tubes, they’re the ideal option. ## **Looking for Clear Mailing Tubes with Caps?** What do you think?

Clear plastic candy tubes are available in FDA approved Cellulose Acetate Propionate material and are manufactured in various shapes and customizable lengths. Added decorative offset printing or labeling can be applied for product identification and brand awareness. ## Why Use Clear Candy Tubes? If you’re purchasing packaging for your candies, here are a few reasons to consider looking into clear candy tubes. ## Marketing Nothing sells candy more than the candy itself! By putting candy in clear containers, you essentially get free marketing of your product when it sits on the shelf. People like to see what they’re going to eat, and taking [good photos of food](https://blog.typsy.com/do-restaurants-need-to-invest-in-quality-food-photography) can help boost food sales. But instead of needing photos and labels, you let the candy speak for itself! Additionally, you can show off the high quality of the food you’re selling directly. Pictures can sometimes be deceiving, but by showing consumers exactly what they’ll get, they will feel more confident with their purchases. Confident customers are happy customers! ## Reusability Our Clear Plastic Sealed-Bottom Tubes are [reusable packages](https://livegreen.recyclebank.com/column/the-list/7-creative-ways-to-repurpose-plastic-containers), making them excellent for both retailers and consumers. These clear candy tube containers are available in FDA approved Cellulose Acetate Propionate material and are manufactured in various shapes and customizable lengths. Retailers, restaurants, and other businesses can use this candy packaging as an alternative to disposable candy wrappers, particularly if they purchase their candy in bulk. It won’t be feasible for all types of candy of course, but it can be easier than having to use lots of disposable bags. And adults and kids will both be happy to have another hard container they can reuse, particularly if you get a [custom size](https://www.petropackaging.com/plastic-tubes/custom-plastic-tubes/) that works well for other purposes. Kids love storing all sorts of things in sealed containers, and adults will be happy not to necessarily contribute to landfills right away. ## Easy Labeling Our clear candy containers are a blank slate, giving you nearly endless options for your labeling choices! Instead of having to make sure your label design doesn’t clash with the packaging and colors, you can design your labels exactly how you want them. The best part is, we can do the printing for you! We offer added decorative offset printing or labeling options for your tubes, so you can market your products the way you want. Your options will be constrained by the size of tube you purchase, so make sure your marketing team is on board with your decisions! As always, we’re happy to help you pick a custom tube size to fit both your product and your labeling needs. Don’t feel the need to constrain your choices on our account! ## Customization We know we’ve said it before, but with Petro Packaging, you can customize your tubes and containers however you want! If our wide range of available plastic tube sizes doesn’t quite have what you’re looking for, don’t fret! Our team of engineers will be happy to discuss whatever sizes and shapes you require for your candy storage needs. Our goal is to provide you the best service possible, and that includes giving you exactly the size of tube, container, or package you require. Let us know what you need, and we’ll make something work. ## Order Your Clear Candy Tubes Today!

It’s crucial to the survival of many smaller companies as well as the overall economy. But all businesses, whether large or small, must adjust to a new “normal” by keeping their staff and customers protected and ensuring that social distancing is maintained. One key way to adhere to the new Covid-19 rules is by installing clear PETG shields at customer-facing points, such as checkout counters and information desks. This is especially important in the retail sector, which sees a large number of customers daily. PETG creates a full barrier between the employee and customer while still allowing a business transaction or conversation to take place. This means that employees feel safe to continue their job and customers can continue shopping with minimized risk. ## Plastic Joiner Sections Help Create Strong Barriers Installing the PETG shields has been made easy thanks to plastic joiners that come in a variety of stock extrusion shapes. A two, three, or four way channel joiner can easily connect panels of PETG to create a strong and impenetrable barrier. The choice of shapes can be used to fit seamlessly on or around any type and shape of desk or counter. Plastic joiners have the advantage of being extremely durable and strong. They are made from either [PETG](https://www.petropackaging.com/petg-packaging-petg-explained/) (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) plastic or Tenite™ CAB (Cellulose Acetate Butyrate) plastic. Each type comes with a range of advantages, such as crystal clarity, chemical resistance, ease of fabrication, and bondability. ## Introducing Petro Packaging Company Inc. We at Petro Packaging Co. Inc. have been delivering standard and custom extrusions to our customers for over forty years, and we’re equally proud to be a family run business spanning three generations. All of our plastic joiner extrusions are manufactured and created here in the USA, so we can supply our customers quickly and always provide top-level service. We understand how urgent it is for your business to get back up and running again as soon as possible, and we can make that easier for you by providing the materials you need to create a safe working environment for all involved. Our selection of high-quality plastic joiner sections are available in a variety of configurations that can be bonded to two, three or four clear PETG panels, to provide the necessary protection at the point of purchase. The extrusions are available from stock in eight foot lengths for immediate shipment, so you don’t have to wait to get your shields installed or delay the opening of your business. Additionally, custom runs can be made for exact cut to order lengths. Take a look at our comprehensive selection of stock plastic joiners [here](https://www.petropackaging.com/plastic-extrusions/stock-plastic-extrusions/). If you can’t find what you’re looking for, then a [custom extrusion](https://www.petropackaging.com/plastic-extrusions/custom-plastic-extrusions/) may be exactly what you need. Whether it’s a stock or custom requirement, we will work with you to determine the best option for your requirements. ## Getting in Touch At Petro Packaging Company Inc, we’ve made it as easy as possible to get what you need in double-quick time.

The article featured “Family Owned Businesses” and the challenges of passing the baton from generation to generation. It focused on some Petro family history, a brief synopsis of how the business got started, and some important goals and challenges of the Petro family. The article was titled: “Every day is Father’s day at Petro Packaging.” The article was written by the owners of the company who are happy to share that their children are the third generation of the Petro Family working full time to continue the business. Petro has always been a family owned and operated company since the 1950’s when it was first established. In addition to three generations of the Petro Family, our company has been supported by loyal and dedicated non-family employees serving Petro for over 40 years!

Many design engineers familiar with other materials and manufacturing processes will often attribute tight dimensional expectations to the plastic extrusion process. While tolerances are absolutely necessary, over-constraining thermoplastic products can lead to slower production and an increase in non-conforming product resulting in much higher costs to the customer. Thermoplastic materials have unique properties that cause minor variations during the extrusion process, and it is for this reason special consideration must be given to dimensional tolerance control. Often, an analysis of the end use of the profile can determine which features and dimensions are critical to its functionality. In most cases, tight tolerances only need to be applied to those critical locations. We’ll gladly make our engineering department available for you to determine the optimal tolerance choices for your product to ensure its function and quality while reducing its cost. ![Metal Molds](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/metal-molds.png) ## In-House Tool & Die Makers We have developed an impressive efficiency as a result of our in-house design and manufacturing capabilities.

Their shape allows for a 360 degree view of the product inside and they are often utilized to protect and display its contents at the point of purchase. This made-to-order item allows the customer to specify the length of their package to ensure their product will fit inside perfectly. A clear plastic base is applied to one side of the package creating a strong permanent seal, and one corresponding Cap or Plug is applied to the open end to complete the package. Applying just one Cap or Plug reduces labor and assembly cost making it the ideal economical solution for any application. ![Round Sealed Bottom Intro](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/round-sealed-bottom-intro.png) ### Material Information This product is manufactured from [Tenite™ CAP (Cellulose Acetate Propionate)](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/tenite-cap-cellulose-acetate-propionate.pdf) which is approved by the FDA for contact with food and pharmaceuticals.

The extra weight and movement of these objects can cause other styles of caps to become dislodged from the tube. First, a clear plastic base is applied to one side of the package creating a strong permanent seal. Then, with our state- of-the-art threading process, we apply a smooth deep thread to the open end of the package. Our threaded tube is then paired with a Metal Threaded Cap, giving us the the most secure threaded package in the industry. Threaded sealed bottom plastic tubes ensure that your product does not get lost or damaged while on display, or while being shipped or stored.

Their shape allows for a 360 degree view of the product inside and they are often utilized to protect and display its contents at the point of purchase. This made-to-order item allows the customer to specify the length of their package to ensure their product will fit inside perfectly. A clear plastic base is applied to one side of the package creating a strong permanent seal, and one corresponding Cap or Plug is applied to the open end to complete the package. Applying just one Cap or Plug reduces labor and assembly cost making it the ideal economical solution for any application.

Co-Extrusion is the process of extruding a product composed of two or more thermoplastics. It allows for a product to have unique characteristics such as color striping, half-circumference coloration, total encapsulation, or multiple-durometers. This process can be applied to both tubing and profile extrusions to create half-white, half-clear shields for the lighting industry, narrow windows for viewing protected products, or grippers and living hinges for flexible applications. When there are special requirements regarding a product’s appearance or material makeup, a co-extrusion can be the ideal solution [Contact Us](https://www.petropackaging.com/contact/ "Contact Us") ## Our Collaborative Process Work closely with our expert sales team to choose the right product line for your application. ![Our Process - 1](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/our-process-1.svg) ### Submit Your Requirements Submit a detailed drawing with exact specifications or a proof of concept so that we may fully understand your application. ![Our Process - 3](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/our-process-3.svg) ### Evaluation and Feedback Our sales team will review the specifications and advise you in detail regarding whether a stocked item or a custom design will suit your requirements. ![Our Process - 2](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/our-process-2.svg) ### Review and Order Stocked items can be quickly quoted while all tool design and development for custom work will be further evaluated by our engineering department.

While the concept seems simple, a lot of work is put into ensuring that food gets packaged safely. In order to be considered safe, food packaging must not leach toxic substances into the product. Many plastics break down in certain environmental conditions. Some material breakdown emits substances that are unsafe for consumption. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will not consider such products safe. It is important to use food packaging that the FDA recognizes as safe. Toxic substances from some packaging can leach into your candy. This could lead to customers falling ill. Our clear candy packaging tubes are made from [Cellulose Acetate Propinate](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Tenite-CAP-Cellulose-Acetate-Propionate.pdf). Cellulose comes from plants and can be an ingredient in polymers that make up packaging. The FDA recognizes Cellulose Acetate Propinate as a safe packaging option for food. Because it is considered safe for human consumption, it can also be an adhesive used on candy packaging. Because our candy packaging is made from [safe materials](https://www.petropackaging.com/more-info/material-information/), you can have confidence that your customers are protected. ## Sales Benefits of Clear Candy Tubes When choosing the right packaging for your candy, consider how visibility can impact sales. If customers don’t see your product on the shelves, they won’t buy it. You’ll want to make sure your candy catches the attention of shoppers. Our [clear plastic tubes](https://www.petropackaging.com/plastic-tubes/clear-plastic-tubes-sealed-bottom/) can help achieve those goals. When it comes to product sales, ambiguity is not your friend. If people don’t know exactly what they are purchasing, they will hesitate and put the product back on the shelf. With clear tube candy packaging, customers can see exactly what they are purchasing. There is no question about what the package contains. People will see exactly what candy they are purchasing. Using clear packaging for candy gives you a built-in way to catch the consumer’s eye. The brightly colored candy grabs your attention. When it can be easily seen, you can have confidence that people notice your product. Modern shoppers look for ways to reduce waste. More and more consumers are paying attention to product packaging. Having packaging that reduces waste gives you a competitive edge. One great thing about clear plastic tubes is that the customer can reuse them. Some people enjoy using the clear tubes for craft storage, while others will put other candies inside. The materials in our products can also be recycled in some municipalities. It can be frustrating to have to raise retail prices because your candy packaging costs too much. Expensive candy also reduces sales. People are more likely to make impulse purchases when a product is inexpensive. Luckily, clear candy packaging is affordable for businesses of every size. Whether you have just started your business or you’ve been in the game for years, clear plastic tubes can fit into your budget. ## Product Protection While your candy package can help with sales, the primary purpose is to protect the product. Your packaging needs to protect the candy from the time it leaves the manufacturing facility until the customer opens it at home. Our food safe clear tubes can also help with product protection. Despite its lightweight and thin nature, a clear plastic tube is quite durable. They are unlikely to break or dent if dropped. These food safe packaging options protect your candy from the elements. They also protect your candy from customers who cough or sneeze when they walk by store displays. Customers won’t have concerns about the sanitary condition of your candy. Clear plastic food safe tubes also protect candy during transportation. Because they don’t break easily, you can rest assured that your products will arrive at their destination intact. And if they get caught in the rain, or there’s a spill in the kitchen at home, the waterproof packaging keeps the candy dry. Consumers are particularly happy when their candies aren’t ruined during everyday activities. ## Types of Packaging Clear candy packaging tubes come in different lengths and widths. We offer tubes that are open on both ends. We also offer tubes that come with sealed bottoms. These clear tubes provide great solutions in [Point of Purchase](https://www.repsly.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-point-of-purchase-displays) (POP) Displays. These displays highlight products and are often seen around holiday shopping seasons. The tubes we offer in our POP Displays have thin, small diameter tubes. The open end and sealed bottom tubes come with an appropriate cap. We understand that there is no “one size fits all” standard when it comes to food packaging. These candy tubes can be customized to meet the unique needs of your product. You can add decoration, logos, and print to the tubes to include brand awareness. In combination with these tubes, this can set your candy apart from all of the choices on store shelves. ## Find Your Perfect Solution You’ve spent so much time and money bringing your candy to market. Don’t let the packaging be an afterthought. Whether you’re creating holiday gifts or year-round products, we can help you find food safe candy packaging that’s right for you.

The extra weight and movement of these objects can cause other styles of caps to become dislodged from the tube. First, a clear plastic base is applied to one side of the package creating a strong permanent seal. Then, with our state-of-the-art threading process, we apply a smooth deep thread to the open end of the package. Our threaded tube is then paired with a metal threaded cap, giving us the most secure threaded package in the industry. Threaded sealed bottom plastic tubes ensure that your product does not get lost or damaged while on display, or while being shipped or stored. ![Threaded Sealed Bottom](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/threaded-sealed-bottom-capped.png) ### Material Information This product is manufactured from [Tenite™ CAP (Cellulose Acetate Propionate)](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/tenite-cap-cellulose-acetate-propionate.pdf) which is approved by the FDA for contact with food and pharmaceuticals.

Consumers too are more conscious about going green, so why not tick that checkbox for them with your eco-friendly packaging. This strategy appeals to your target audience and saves costs in the long-run, thereby guaranteeing favorable returns. Recyclable cosmetic packagingis not as bulky as they are made from compostable and biodegradable materials. Even the methods adopted to manufacture such packaging conserve natural resources and limit harmful effluents’ discharge into the atmosphere. In 2018, landfills received [over 30 million tons](https://www.epa.gov/facts-and-figures-about-materials-waste-and-recycling/containers-and-packaging-product-specific-data#:~:text=In%202018%2C%20the%20recycling%20rate,of%20total%20landfilling)%20in%202018.) of containers and packaging. The world is looking to become more sustainable, and recyclable cosmetic packaging is one of the leading solutions. That’s what we’ll be taking a look at today. Here are 5 reasons your company should consider recyclable cosmetic packaging. ## ![eco packaging for cosmetics](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/eco-packaging-for-cosmetics-scaled-e1608144725878.jpg) ## Is transition in packaging the way forward? Your products’ responsible packaging conveys to your end-users that your company promotes an ethical approach above all else. When old packaging is creatively remodeled while respecting our environment, it gives your company a competitive edge. Sustainable solutions that facilitate recycling and easy disposal are what impress modern-day consumers. While considering eco packaging for cosmetics, look at it from an aesthetic and practical perspective. Beauty products stand out when packaged attractively, yet; you need to make sure your suppliers are not burdened with storage concerns. As your brand offerings undergo a refreshing change in look, it gives you the liberty to market them innovatively. ## What is Recyclable Cosmetic Packaging? The cosmetics industry is notorious for producing plastic packaging that ends up in landfills as unrecyclable waste. Almost [8 billion units](https://www.allure.com/story/beauty-industry-packaging-waste) of plastic products were made for beauty and cosmetic products in 2020. Recyclable cosmetic packaging has since become a popular solution to reducing this waste. Examples of this practice include L’Oreal’s paper-based bottles or Unilever’s black plastic bottles that can be recycled. ## Compelling reasons to make the shift Your cosmetic business must consider sustainable packaging and enumerated here are five reasons to back this statement: ### 1\. Reflects corporate social responsibility When you focus on responsible initiatives, it indicates your keenness to effectively enhance the environment rather than destroy it. Only then can your company earn its title of being a trusted venture that adds value to society. More and more customers look at whether companies are taking initiatives towards greater social responsibilities. A common measuring stick is [whether a company](https://www.greenmatters.com/living/2017/08/07/ZiYtXd/companies-go-green) is trying to reduce its negative impact on the environment. “Going green” isn’t a popular trend. It’s a crucial determinant that customers choose when making a purchase. Thus, recyclable cosmetic packaging helps you attract loyal and trusting customers. Ensure your business plays a significant part in transitioning the retail industry to become a sustainable sector. This approach encourages distributors and suppliers to take notice and motivates them to promote your product offerings. ### 2\. Retailers demand sustainability to meet customer expectations It’s not just the customers who want eco-friendly packaging. Retailers want to stock their stores with sustainable products as well. To market your merchandise, you are dependent on retailers who have a pulse on consumer expectations. When your eco packaging for cosmetics highlights the steps to recycle each piece, it eases your consumers’ burden to figure it out. End users place their trust in a specific retail outlet for their cosmetic provisions more when they relate to their forward-thinking approach. ### 3\. Decreases carbon footprint [Your carbon footprint](https://www.nature.org/en-us/get-involved/how-to-help/carbon-footprint-calculator/#:~:text=A%20carbon%20footprint%20is%20the,highest%20rates%20in%20the%20world.) measures the total greenhouse gas emissions produced by your company. It’s a common way of judging a company’s environmental sustainability. The emission of greenhouse gases brings on natural disasters and contributes to global warming. Your business operations can minimize its impact on the environment by resorting to eco-friendly [cosmetic packaging suppliers](https://www.petropackaging.com/top-cosmetic-packaging-suppliers/). The latter is made from responsibly sourced materials and mass-produced while keeping wastage and pollutants to the bare minimum. [Petro Packaging](https://www.petropackaging.com/) lessens ocean plastic contamination as your customers can recycle their plastic containers once through with them. When you use such viable options to package your cosmetics, your business also decreases its carbon footprint. ### 4\. Optimizes business operations Investing in recyclable cosmetic packaging also benefits your overall efficiency. Because of the prevalence of sustainable packaging, your company can reuse different materials to optimize efficiency. It helps you save money on transportation and packaging overall. Recyclable cosmetic packaging is less bulky and lighter, which takes up less space and becomes more affordable to ship. Sturdy and recyclable casings provide a protective shield to your commodities and can withstand long journeys from plant to end-user. Increased sustainability implies long-term savings for your business and improved operational efficiency. ### 5\. Expands client base Customers are keenly aware of the impact their purchasing habits have on the environment. Many are willing to forgo a few extra dollars to make a more sustainable decision. Using recyclable cosmetic packaging makes your brand more visible to earth-conscious consumers. Committing to a more sustainable model improves your overall brand image and helps you appeal to more customers. They are willing to support your business even if they have to shell out a few extra bucks. These informed customers are attracted to a more significant cause for which they are willing to shift loyalties. As long as your brand appears more promising on the green front and continues to deliver quality, your client base will only expand. ## ![eco-friendly cosmetic packaging icon](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/eco-friendly-cosmetic-packaging-icon.png)Reduce, reuse and recycle Only non-toxic material is safe to reuse and recycle; hence, worthy of circulating. Being open to sustainable packaging solutions without compromising on the functionality of your product is vital. When consumers can reuse the emptied container by refilling it, only a portion of the packaging is replaced instead of the entire thing. The increased awareness of overflowing landfills and polluted oceans is compelling consumers to support products that offer sustainable options. They are eager to connect with brands that are actively part of the solution to this alarmingly rising problem. Clean packaging stands out on retail shelves lined with fancy yet, single-use tubes and bottles. ## Need for sustainable, recyclable cosmetic packaging goals - To comply with relevant regulations and subsequently exceed them - To prove your company’s commitment towards saving the planet - To eliminate the risk of losing your social license - To anticipate changes in a competitive market ## Moving forward The deterioration of our environment has reached alarming levels. Everyone needs to be sensitive to the fact that your health is also at risk, along with the ecology. Unless your business produces and packages more responsibly, you will lose out on creating unique competitive advantages within the cosmetic industry. It is advisable to embrace best practices by resorting to innovative and sustainable packaging designs. By doing so, you are leveraging your brand power to bring about a welcome shift in consumer behavior. Moreover, it makes your company a trendsetter and encourages other industries to follow suit. ## Drive the packaging revolution A [circular economy](https://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/circular-economy/concept) restores rather than discards by valuing all material, including plastic. Working in unison ensures that even a commodity like plastic is kept out of landfills. Eco packaging for cosmetics designed by reputed manufacturers is created with the following principles: - Rethinking design elements and focusing on the use of better plastic - Driving systemic change to boost a circular economy - Promoting infrastructure for collection and recycling of waste materials - Educating consumers on proper disposal methods - Creating awareness about collection facilities - Applying innovative methods to lead by example Aspire to be a positive influencer but also focus on the implementation of your sustainable packaging goals. Create a favorable impact by partnering with a renowned plastics brand that offers a comprehensive selection of recyclable packaging. When you know your service provider is committed to serving your best interests, you can together bring about a revolutionary green change. ## Leverage Recyclable Packaging for Cosmetics Today Using plastic packaging doesn’t mean you have to ignore your carbon footprint.

Our extrusion expertise was founded during the infancy of the plastics revolution. In the late 1950’s, the Petro family embarked on an industry that was uncharted and relatively unknown at the time. With the development of the Hula Hoop and the garden hose, custom plastic extrusions manufacturers engineered new products that emerged at a dizzying pace. The extrusion process exploded and new thermoplastics were being developed providing unlimited opportunities for almost every industry. The Petro family took advantage of this opportunity, purchasing extrusion equipment and employing the services of the returning veterans of WWII. Self taught and self motivated, the Petro story began.

Their shape allows for a 360 degree view of the product inside and they are often utilized to protect and display its contents at the point of purchase. This made-to-order item allows the customer to specify the length of their package to ensure their product will fit inside perfectly. A clear plastic base is applied to one side of the package creating a strong permanent seal, and one corresponding Cap or Plug is applied to the open end to complete the package. Applying just one Cap or Plug reduces labor and assembly cost making it the ideal economical solution for any application. ![Vinyl](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/vinyl.png) ### Select [![vinylslipon.png](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/vinylslipon.png)](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/vinylslipon.png) ## 1/4″ Vinyl Slip-On Caps $17.90 -

You’ve come to the right place. We’re here to give you a guide to our options for your cosmetic sample packaging. Featured packaging with cap options, custom widths and lengths, and even [recyclable materials](https://www.petropackaging.com/recyclable-cosmetic-packaging/)? Yes please. Read more to find out how we cater perfectly to you. ## ![makeup brushes and other cosmetics](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/makeup-brushes.jpg)Clear Plastic Packaging Tubes The highest quality is what we strive for at Petro Packaging Co. That’s why our plastic is crafted with seamless, shatterproof materials. Always sparkling, our crystal-clear containers feature strong, thin walls and a penchant for quality. Your product is featured through our clear sample cosmetic packaging to ensure the most truthful display you can have. Every inch, twist, and turn that your cosmetics have will be shown proudly through our quality packaging. Safely shippable, Petro Packaging ensures that your products will arrive in perfect condition, ready to be used. Your cosmetics will be hidden from dust and dirt, delivering on our [commitment to safety](https://www.petropackaging.com/covid-19/). Our offering of sealed bottom plastic tubes is our most popular — the easily customizable option. Made to order, you’re able to specify what dimensions you need to suit your product’s needs. Our sealed bottom tubes are manufactured specifically to have a sealed base, proving a strong protection for your product. You’ll need one of our [caps or plugs](https://www.petropackaging.com/plastic-tubes/closures/) to fully seal the tube with your product in it. ## Round Sealed Bottom Plastic Tubes Utilizing our Clear Tenite™ CAP (Cellulose Acetate Propionate) materials, the round sealed bottom plastic tube is FDA approved and safe for cosmetic products. We offer various sizes to fit anything you need — whether that be a kabuki brush or an eyelash curler. Because of the round sealed bottom plastic tube’s rounded shape, we recommend using this tube to package your beauty blenders, round powder brushes, or kabuki brushes. Your label and logo will be created to the model of this tube, as well as your choice of a cap or a plug. We recommend using a simple, aesthetically pleasing plug cap. This will tie off your cosmetic products safely and securely. ## Threaded Sealed Bottom Plastic Tubes Our threaded sealed bottom plastic tubes are made with our Clear Tenite™ CAP (Cellulose Acetate Propionate) materials and models a rounded tube shape as well. The tube is then deeply and carefully threaded on one opening, using our specialized threading process. The threaded cap is paired with this tube, twisting into place as our most secure package. This tube is most often used for heavy or loose items, so we suggest using the threaded sealed bottom tube for products such as spoolie brushes, lipstick and lip gloss tubes, and tweezers. We also encourage the use of liquids or creams with this tube, such as perfume, foundations, concealers, or powders. Because of the tight seal of the threaded sealed bottom tube, your cosmetic sample packaging is contained tightly with no worries of leaks. With the sealed integrity of this tube, your product is safe. Your label and logo will be fitted for this tube, showing off your cosmetic sample with the packaging’s crystal clear materials. ## ![cosmetic samples](https://www.petropackaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/cosmetic-samples.png)Shaped Sealed Bottom Plastic Tubes These shaped sealed bottom plastic tubes are our unique, made-just-for-you tubes. Using our Clear Tenite™ CAP (Cellulose Acetate Propionate) plastic, we offer square sealed shapes and triangle sealed shapes. Because of the versatility of this tube, you’re able to use the shapes and sizes to your advantage. Your products will fit snugly or loosely, depending on your preference. We recommend using the shaped sealed bottom tubes for products like silicone blenders, eyelash curlers, fan brushes, or angled/contour brushes. You also can use our shaped tubes to hold false eyelashes, face masks, or facial massage tools. The shaped sealed bottom plastic tube fits with our plug cap. Applied to the open end of the tube, the plug cap’s specialized capabilities hold your product in place. Because of the unique shapes and sizes we offer in the shaped sealed bottom plastic tubes, you have free reign when it comes to what you decide to use it for. The quality and style of this tube will stand out to your customers and will feature your brand, front and center. ## Round Open Ended Plastic Tubes Our round open ended tubes are unique — using 2 of our plug caps. One on each end, this method will easily and aesthetically secure your cosmetic samples and show them off at the same time. You can order these made-to-order, or you can buy these in cases of 18-inch lengths. These 18-inch length tubes are perfect for your own customization: if you don’t know the length of the product you want to showcase or if you need a small quantity of various lengths. Since these round open ended plastic tubes offer a double-ended opening, we recommend using them for eyeshadow brushes, eyebrow kits, or lip liner packaging. Featuring 2 of our plug caps, you can customize the colors of these to fit your brand. The 360° model of the round open ended plastic tubes represents your cosmetic products proudly. ## Shaped Open Ended Plastic Tubes Like our shaped sealed bottom plastic tubes, the shaped open ended tube features several options of style, including square and triangle shapes. With the double plug cap use, you can use the shaped open ended plastic tube to house products such as mini eyeshadow palettes, small combs, and press-on nails. The versatility of this tube means that you’re able to fit this tube to your needs simply.
