A flexible tube skirt () has a primary film () and a decorative film (), wherein the decorative film () has a decoration substrate and a sealable outer layer () The decoration substrate is applied on all of at least one of the surfaces of the primary film () and is below the sealable outer layer (). The flexible tube skirt may be used in a flexible tube.

Highly decorated tube, especially highly decorated laminate tube

Multi-layer laminate materials, which include an aluminum foil layer having particular tensile strength properties, are described. The aluminum foil layer in combination with other layers provides important benefits in manufacturing operations, such as filling tubes made by forming a cylinder from the laminate materials and heat sealing the side and end edges. These benefits are obtained in many cases without the need to increase foil weight or layer thickness. The laminate materials preserve the flexibility of conventional tubes, for example toothpaste tubes, as required to dispense products from a tube opening with the application of manual squeezing forces.

Layered materials comprising aluminum foil and tubes made therefrom

The invention relates to a laminated material for forming a flexible container for holding a hair dye or the like, the laminated material having a first surface which, in use, forms the internal surface of the container, and a second surface which, in use, forms the external surface of the container, the laminated material comprising an inner layer, an outer layer and an intermediate metal foil barrier layer, wherein the inner layer is on the first surface side of the metal foil barrier layer, and wherein the outer layer is on the second surface side of the metal foil barrier layer, wherein the laminated material has a total thickness of at most 240 &#x3bc;m, and wherein the inner layer comprises polyethylene and has a mean density of 0.92 to 0.94 g/cm.
