Plastic squeeze tube design parameters?
Plastic squeeze tube design parameters?
(OP)
Plastic squeeze tubes (similar to a toothpaste tube) are manufactured by extruding a tube then fusing or molding a threaded end in place. The finished tubes are then printed /decorated before being filled and sealed. I am looking for detailed specifications or parameters concerning the design of plastic squeeze tubes.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

Are you just looking for the physical properties or do you need the same properties in every regard.

RE: Plastic squeeze tube design parameters?
If you need draft you will need to injection mould.
If you can use draft from nozzle or cap end to base, base being bigger, you can mould in the shoulder and neck, then you only need to weld the base in.
What properties are you looking for. Weld-ability, squeeze force required, resilience, decorating techniques and durability of finish.
Your question is just to general to answer.
