INTRO
While brushing teeth is not given much thought by
consumers because it is probably the first daily
hygiene activity in our everyday lives. It is a
big business for the corporate conglomerates that
produce most of the worlds toothpaste. A study
estimate says that Americans alone buy over 14
million gallons of toothpaste every year. For a
little perspective, this is roughly equal to
175,000 bathtubs of the creamy mint stuff. A
tube, squeeze tube, or collapsible tube is a
collapsible package which can be used for viscous
liquids packaging such as toothpaste, artist's
paint, adhesive, and ointments. The toothpaste
packaging process is relatively straight-forward.
Toothpaste ingredients are weighed to ensure the
correct proportions. Ingredients are then mixed
in a stainless-steel vessel (water and the
humectant is usually done first). Process
temperature and humidity are watched closely to
ensure proper mixing. After the ingredients are
mixed, the finished toothpaste is sent to a
high-speed toothpaste filling machine where a
pump fills each tube through its open bottom.
After the tube is filled, the end is sealed (or
crimped).

As a secondary packaging process, filled and
crimped tubes are inserted into individual retail
cartons. The carton packaging machine, which is
basically a secondary packaging system, then
packs the finished product either through a
horizontal cartoner or a vertical cartoner. These
cartons are then packed into master cartons that
constitute tertiary packaging and shipped to
warehouses, distribution centres and
stores. Small sachets are becoming increasingly
popular for packaging cosmetic and personal care
products like toothpaste, shampoo, gel, and
lotions. Nichromes packaging machines provide
attractive, contaminant-free packaging for such
applications. For projects big and small, for
food, pharma other applications, Nichrome
