The recycling of a product at the end of its life should be considered right from the start. In terms of recycling, tubes with an aluminium barrier, such as ABL tubes, perform poorly. Valuable raw materials are lost. However, many products are not packaged in ABL tubes because of the high barrier effect, but because of the attractive metallic look of the tube. At LINHARDT, we can create this metal look using various techniques without the impeding aluminium layer:

The New Metal Ink convinces with its silver printed background.

With New Metal Spot, individual elements of the artwork can be underlaid with silver ink for a partial metallic effect. Coloured metallic effects can also be realized at low cost. Unlike ABL tubes, even the combination of metallic effects and transparency is possible.

The New Metal Batch tube is made with silver coloured masterbatch.
All tubes can be manufactured with reduced wall thickness and PCR content.
