What are some of the decorating alternatives for a plastic tube package?

Plastic tube packaging is a popular mailing tube that has become an attractive alternative for sending packages all over the world. One of the best features of a plastic tube package is that it is transparent. This allows you to see the item in the package without necessarily opening it. In cases where you need to send an important document such as an architectural plan or paint artwork, then a plastic tube package would be the best choice for you. This is because the document will not be folded in any way, as this may destroy or damage the material. A plastic tube package offers you the option of selecting the type of decoration or label to be printed on it. Numerous industries and manufacturing companies offer the option of choosing the type of decoration you would want to appear on the plastic tube. So, instead of using a plain transparent tube when sending packages next time, here are examples of decorating options you may request to be done on your plastic mailing tube.

Pad Printing

Pad printing is a fantastic decoration option if you are using smaller plastic tube packages. It enables multicolour printing, which creates beautiful pictures or labels that will be placed on the plastic tube. This decorative option only covers the diameter length of the tube, thus allowing the tube to be more transparent.

Labelling

In case you require more graphical details on your plastic tube, then labelling is the best option you can opt for. This option allows you to use a maximum of 6 colours when printing an image or a label, thus producing beautiful designs. This process takes a very short time, thus making it cheaper than other decorative options such as the screen printing option.

Shrink Bands or Sleeves

If you are using a tamper proof tube as your preferred choice of transparent plastic tube packaging, then shrink bands or sleeves is the best decorative option for you. The shrink bands are exclusively designed labels that are slid over your plastic tube and heated to create a tight seal around the tube. You can even request the band or sleeve to be placed near the top of your package to make it tamper-proof while maintaining its transparency.  If you are sending bundle packs, this is also the best decorative option for your package.

Screen Printing

If you have a small decorating budget, then screen printing is your best decoration option. It is an extremely cost effective option because the designed graphics can almost cover the entire exterior of your plastic tube. You can use either 1 or 2 colour graphics to decorate your tube, thus reducing the printing and decorative costs.
