TUBE SEALING & CUSTOMIZED PACKAGING SOLUTIONS

Tube Sealing Machines

Explore ZONESUN tube sealing machines for closing compatible soft tubes, from standalone sealing to integrated filling and sealing. Match tube construction, dimensions and product requirements to a suitable sealing or folding process, with loading, coding and downstream integration assessed for your packaging workflow.

Tube Materials & Sizes

Share plastic, laminate or aluminum tube samples, dimensions and wall construction for compatibility assessment.

Sealing & Folding Methods

Assess ultrasonic or thermal sealing for compatible tubes, or mechanical folding for suitable metal tubes.

Product & Filling Needs

Define viscosity, fill quantity and temperature to assess dosing and cleanliness of the closure area.

Output & Line Integration

Confirm tube loading, orientation, coding, trimming and downstream handling for the selected configuration.

CHOOSE YOUR TUBE CLOSING SETUP

Find the Right Tube Sealing Configuration

Match tube construction, closure requirements and automation to your production workflow.

Standalone Tube Sealers

Assess sealing equipment for prefilled tubes and smaller batches. Confirm loading, tube support, orientation and any trimming or coding functions.

Plastic & Laminate Tube Sealing

Assess ultrasonic or thermal sealing for the actual tube construction. Confirm suitable tooling, closure dimensions and finishing requirements.

Metal Tube Folding & Integrated Systems

For suitable aluminum tubes, assess mechanical folding. Where filling is needed, confirm compatible dosing and handling equipment in the proposed scope.

Tube material determines the suitable closing process. Sealing, folding, filling, trimming and coding functions vary by model and configuration.

TUBES & PRODUCT APPLICATIONS

Match Tube Sealing to Your Product

Assess actual tubes and product samples to select suitable closing and filling arrangements.

Cosmetic Creams & Lotions

Define viscosity, fill quantity and tube format. Assess dosing, product cutoff and cleanliness of the tail area.

Gels & Personal Care Products

Share flow characteristics, foaming behavior and filling temperature. Confirm tube support and the required closure appearance.

Toothpaste & Dense Pastes

Describe paste consistency and any particulates. Review filling equipment and the space needed for sealing or folding.

Food Pastes & Condiments

Provide product characteristics, tube materials and hygiene requirements. Assess suitable contact parts and cleaning access.

Adhesives & Industrial Products

Share product compatibility, curing behavior and handling requirements. Confirm equipment suitability for the proposed materials.

Multiple Tube Formats

List tube diameters, lengths, wall constructions and artwork. Assess tooling, orientation and changeover needs.

Application suitability is product- and model-specific. Provide relevant handling and material-compatibility requirements during selection.

FROM FILLED TUBES TO FINISHED PACKS

How Tube Closing Works

The workflow depends on whether the tube requires welding or mechanical folding.

  1. 01

    Load & Position

    Support the tube and orient it as required, with the closure area clear of product.

  2. 02

    Seal or Fold

    Use a compatible ultrasonic or thermal sealing process, or the specified mechanical folding arrangement.

  3. 03

    Code & Finish

    Apply coding and trimming where included in the selected configuration.

  4. 04

    Check & Transfer

    Check closure appearance and perform specified quality tests before downstream packing.

Standalone machines may receive prefilled tubes. Printed-tube orientation, automatic loading, filling, coding and trimming require confirmed equipment functions.

KEY SELECTION POINTS

What to Confirm Before Choosing a Tube Sealer

Provide these six details to assess closure compatibility and practical production requirements.

Tube Material & Construction

Specify plastic, laminate or aluminum construction, wall thickness and tail design. Supply actual tube samples.

Dimensions & Artwork

Share tube diameter, length and finished-tail dimensions. Include artwork and registration-mark details where orientation is required.

Product & Fill Quantity

Describe viscosity, particulates, temperature and dosing range. Include product cutoff and tail-contamination concerns.

Closure & Finish Requirements

Define the sealing or folding style, trimming profile and closure-quality requirements. Assess finished samples with the intended product.

Output & Automation Scope

State tubes per minute or hour, operator tasks and SKU changes. Confirm loading, orientation, filling, closing and discharge separately.

Tooling, Utilities & Layout

Confirm tube holders and closing tools for each format. Provide available space, power, air and any cooling requirements.

AUTOMATED FILLING & CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS

Integrate Tube Sealing into Your Packaging Workflow

Coordinate product supply, tube handling and downstream packing around your production needs.

Product Preparation & Supply

Review mixing, transfer and any temperature-control requirements. Define supply conditions for the selected dosing arrangement.

Tube Loading & Orientation

Assess manual loading or automatic tube supply. Confirm printed-tube orientation and compatible holders where required.

Filling & Tail Cleanliness

Match dosing to product characteristics and fill quantity. Assess cutoff and the clear tail area needed for closure.

Closing, Coding & Trimming

Coordinate the suitable sealing or folding process with specified coding and trimming functions.

Inspection & Discharge

Define closure checks, sample testing and finished-tube transfer. Confirm automatic inspection or rejection equipment separately.

Cartoning & Case Packing

Plan tube orientation, grouping and transfer into retail cartons or shipping cases where required.

TUBE SEALING FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a tube sealer also fill the tubes?
Not necessarily. Standalone sealers receive prefilled tubes. Integrated systems may include dosing; confirm filling, loading and orientation functions in the proposed scope.
Can one machine close plastic, laminate and aluminum tubes?
These constructions may require different closing processes and tooling. Do not assume one configuration handles all materials. Supply samples for assessment.
How do ultrasonic sealing and thermal sealing differ?
Ultrasonic sealing uses mechanical vibration to generate heat at the joint, while thermal sealing uses a configured heat source. Suitability depends on the tube construction and required closure; assess actual samples.
Can one machine handle different tube sizes?
This depends on the supported range and available tooling. Different diameters or closure dimensions may require new holders, sealing tools or folding parts.
Can printed tubes be aligned before closing?
Suitable orientation equipment can be assessed where required. Provide artwork and registration-mark details and confirm the function for the selected model.
Are date coding and trimming included?
Only where specified. Confirm code format, position, changeover method and any trimming profile for the proposed configuration.
What information should I send for selection?
Share tube samples and dimensions, material construction, product details, fill quantity, closure requirements, artwork, target output and available line space.
