Less plastic, more recycling

Thin laminate tube with detachable paper layer

Co-Seaming / Detachable Tube

Our side seamer machines transform traditional laminate into high-quality tube bodies with precision and reliability. In being committed to sustainability and meeting customer needs, we have developed a completely new type of tube – the thin laminate tube with a detachable paper layer (detachable tube). Our solution: The Co-Seaming process, carried out on the trusted BeautySeamer.

Tube recycling made simple

Simply remove the outer paper sleeve and place it in the paper recycling stream.

Using especially pure laminates, such as those based on PE, enables high-quality recycling within the plastics stream.

Producing the tube head and applying a cap made from PE, combined with a PE-based laminate, allows for single-material recycling within the plastics stream.

Co-Seaming

Process for sustainable tubes

In the Co-Seaming process, a laminate layer and a paper layer are fed simultaneously, one on top of the other, into the side seamer machine and processed together. The result is a sturdy tube body with two functional yet separate layers. This enables clean material separation after use, offering a clear advantage in terms of recyclability, sustainability, and circular economy practices.

Thin laminate

The laminate is seamed using proven overlap technology. It provides a barrier function and protects the contents of the tube.
Paper layer

The paper layer is bonded at the same time using hot melt adhesive, but kept separate. It gives the tube its stability, a natural feel, and a sustainable appearance.

Benefits

What we offer you

67% less plastic

By using a thin laminate, the plastic content is reduced by up to 67% – all without compromising stability or functionality.
Designed for recyclability and material purity

The paper and laminate layers can be easily separated after use, making recycling easy. The inner PE layer is exceptionally pure, supporting high-quality recycling within the plastic circular economy.
High production efficiency

With speeds of up to 25 meters per minute (on the side seamer machine) and 120 tubes per minute (including the header-capper machine), maximum efficiency is guaranteed.
Sustainable design that is noticeable

The outer paper layer delivers a natural feel and a clear message of sustainability – ideal for brands that take environmental responsibility seriously.
Retrofitting instead of new investment

The BeautySeamer can be easily retrofitted for the Co-Seaming process – requiring minimal investment and ready to use right away.
