Cosmetics and toiletries packaging specialist BeautyPack has added tubes to its growing portfolio through its partnership with Italian tube manufacturer Global Tube.

Global Tube, which is based in Tortona just south of Milan, produces polyethylene (PE) tubes on high-speed lines in diameters 19ml to 50ml.

The company can produce decorative finishes in house, including labelling. It also offers soft touch, tamper-evident closures and has recently added co-extrusion tubes to its range.

Global Tube will join BeautyPack's stable of brands that include Herman Koch for bottles, jars and sticks, Oekametall for mascara, lipsticks and lipgloss and Eisen for cosmetic sharpeners.

"We have chosen a small number of high quality partners that can offer the UK market flexibility and the responsiveness from a European manufacturing base," said director Elinor Hill.
