Abstract
A collapsible dispensing tube is formed from a laminate which includes two separate layers of metallic foil; e.g., aluminum. This configuration allows substantially independent variation of the deadfold (i.e., tendency of the tube to stay in the rolled-up position) and body (i.e., tendency of the tube to resist being rolled-up) of such a tube. Species of the invention having both desirable deadfold and desirable body are disclosed.
