Tube Labelling & Filling

Sustainable Labelling & Filling
Keen to do our bit for the environment by reducing problematic plastics, we offer a sustainable tube labelling and filling service capable of filling thickened liquids, pastes and creams. We can fill your product into up to 100% Post Consumer Recycled (PCR) plastic tubes with sustainable cap closures developed from recycled or renewable sources. Each tube contains the equivalent of 3 recovered plastic shopping bags in every tube. Capable of a filling range of 20-300ml, all our tubes are labelled with 85% recycled plastic labels, and packed into 85% recycled transit cartons. The tube post use is also 100% recyclable.
Plastic waste is currently the biggest enemy of our global seas and marine life. Due to the public interest in this subject, pressure on producers is mounting to find new solutions without compromising on quality. Have you considered tubes over bottles? Would you be interested in reducing your carbon footprint and further improve your ESG profile?
Qualkem provides turnkey solutions for tube filling:
Tubes Labelling & Filling
Our automatic tube labelling & filling machinery will label and fill and hermetically seal 2500 tubes per hour, giving you the ability to either order small runs over the industry norm of minimum 10,000 screen printed tubes, or meet larger order requirements where we can fill up to 20,000 tubes over an 8 hours shift. From personal care, cosmetics to pharmaceutical, whether you are a start-up Indie brand, wish to launch a new product or wanting to move over to an alternative sustainable solution, we can either label your tubes, fill them, or both. We pride ourselves on not stipulating a minimum order quantity, yet can still fill out 100,000s tubes if you so require. No job too big or small!
Product Formulation & Blending
We are able to offer a product formulation & blending service for non-cosmetic products, working with formulators and blenders for cosmetic lines.
