Abstract
The tube (1) has a metallic casing (2) and a label (3) on the casing. In order to improve the seal of the tube at the fold (6) the label (3) extends beyond the edge region (5) at the end of the tube (1) opposite to the cap (4) to form two adjacent label edge portions (10) and a weld seam or glue seam (9) is provided between the adjacent label edge portions (10) at the fold (6). The weld or glue seam (9) can seal the rear edge (7) of the casing (2) or only prevent an unfolding or release of the fold (6) at the edge region (5).
