The scientific view on aluminium tubes

Besides marketing experts, packaging developers and designers, scientists and teachers also play an important role for the packaging industry. They are educating the experts of tomorrow.

Be it scientists of faculties for design or of institutes for packaging technology, these experts do research and teaching mainly about material properties, modern packaging production technologies, best practices and latest packaging applications. This scientific work gives current and future packaging designers and developers relevant basic knowledge on which to base their creativity. The result is a packaging technology which fulfils the engineers’, marketing’s and consumers’ needs for best packaging solutions, and which separates the product from competitors by a striking appearance.

This website offers members of the scientific community a broad range of information to assist their work. European aluminium tube producers would like to enter into an open dialogue with scientists, students and other packaging experts. With our expertise we strive to support the exchange of information between these stakeholders and experts from the tube industry in order to explain the complexity and versatility lying behind a product which looks so simple at first glance. Feel free to browse to the chapter ‘production process’, where the production of the aluminium tube is explained, the chapter ‘terminology’, which gives an overview of special tube-related vocabulary, and the chapter ‘standards’, where you can find an overview of the existing and upcoming standards on aluminium tubes.

If there is any information about the aluminium tube you can’t find on this website, please contact the editorial board for further information. You will find both postal and e-mail addresses in the chapter ‘contact’.
