Platina™

Platina is an eco-friendly laminated tube designed in line with “Recycle” – one of EPL’s key sustainability themes.

Platina tubes are produced with less than 5% barrier resin and have received recognition from the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR), USA, as consistently meeting or exceeding the most stringent APR HDPE Critical Guidance criteria.

Often a key challenge when developing recyclable tubes is the compromise in terms of a tube’s barrier properties, leading to a reduction in shelf-life of the tube’s contents. The Platina range of HDPE tubes does not face this issue as it is designed to deliver source reduction and recyclability without the loss of any barrier properties. This allows for sustained product stability and durable shelf life of the packed content. Platina is especially suited for oral, toiletries, and food brands.

By decreasing Platina’s weight, EPL has once again demonstrated our commitment to “leading the pack” through the conscious reduction of our carbon footprint. Platina is the eco-friendly tube of choice, supporting your brand’s go-green and sustainability goals.

Platina Pro

Platina Pro tubes are produced with less than 5% barrier resin and have received recognition from the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR), USA, as consistently meeting or exceeding the most stringent APR HDPE Critical Guidance criteria.

The Platina PRO Edge:

Our PLATINA PRO range of HDPE tube is designed to deliver extraordinary chemical resistance, product stability, flavour retention and a rich feel to touch. It is especially suited for oral, toiletries and food products.

Often the key challenge when replacing Aluminium barrier tube it to match its barrier properties. When flavour retention of the product becomes more critical then Platina Pro is the preferred choice.

EPL has demonstrated our commitment to “leading the pack” by designing the best in class barrier properties for any PBL tube in this thickness range availble in the market.

Neoseam

NEOSeam, a revolutionary side seam technology, seamlessly merges 360° printing with the affordability and flexibility of flat printing. At EPL, we’re at the forefront of this innovation, providing a sustainable alternative to traditional extrusion tubes. Unlike conventional extrusion tubes that require a certain thickness, NEOSeam offers equivalent material properties with reduced thickness, cutting down on material consumption and reducing dependence on traditional tubes.

Additionally, NEOSeam optimizes material usage by incorporating the laminate’s typically discarded side edge to form the side seam, eliminating unsightly “white lines” and creating an appealing aesthetic for cosmetics customers. Available in WHITE, TRANSPARENT, and METALLIC options, NEOSeam is our recyclable, sustainable, and visually striking packaging solution.

Glitter

The Add-on on the best print technology allows EPL to add multi colour (up to 3) foils and even more on the tube directly. The add-on equipment also is a FOIL optimiser which saves foil consumption (Reuse up to 3 times) thereby reducing the carbon foot print by 75%. The multi colour foil + Foil over print allows us to offer our customer as many shades/colours on foil. IT GLITTERS THE BEST ON SHELF.

Platina ME

Consumer brands frequently strive to maintain an emotional connection with the consumers in terms of appearance and feel. However, in the greater interest of sustainability, they also need to switch to sustainable tubes. This is a major obstacle to be addressed in tubes with foil or metallic finish. Our answer to brand owners is Platina Pro ME, which facilitates an easy switch to recyclable and sustainable tubes while maintaining the same performance and appearance

Platina Vision

Platina Pro Vision shatters the prototype with its high-barrier transparent tubes that redefine product aesthetics by allowing crystal-clear visibility while maintaining a commitment to sustainability through their recyclability in the Code 2 HDPE bottle stream.

Unlike traditional HDPE tubes that tend to be hazy and opaque, these tubes strike the perfect balance, offering brands the opportunity to showcase their products in all their glory without compromising on the essential Code 2 recyclability.

Etain

Etain is a new, fully-recyclable packaging tube from EPL. It has been made using a percentage of recycled material with the aim of reducing the amount of virgin plastic in tube packaging. Etain tubes are made with resins recycled under Code 2 norms defined by ASTM. It contains up to 50% PCR HDPE plastic material.

Etain tubes are typically used by FMCG companies for packaging various types of beauty and skin care, pharmaceutical and food products. It is made from recycled plastic material and is fully recyclable, enabling it to go back into the same process that it came from.

Etain PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) tubes were launched at the ‘Interpack’ exhibition in Düsseldorf, Germany, held on April 24, 2008. It is highly customizable and the amount of PCR can be varied depending upon customer requirements and the nature of the product that is contained within the package. Etain is the first of many products from EPL addressing sustainability. It makes an effort to ensure that the lifecycle of a product does not destroy its source or the environment.

Super Titanium

Super Titanium is a new tube alternative where “less is more” absolutely holds true. A key challenge with material source reduction is that it at times can lead to compromises with respect to packaging functionality. Developed with EPL’s family of next-generation polymers, the Super Titanium range of tubes addresses this by keeping input materials at a bare minimum without losing any of the key characteristic functional properties needed by clients. As such, Super Titanium tubes help in reducing the product’s carbon footprint, making it an eco-friendly choice when it comes to sustainable packaging. Super Titanium tubes also provide greater product stability, exhibit extended shelf-life properties and possess a rich exterior look and feel. It is especially well-suited for oral care, toiletries, and food products.

Glow in the dark

Glow in the Dark tubes are an exciting product offering by EPL – produced using highly specialized ink finishes on our tube surfaces. As suggested by the name, these tubes illuminate in part or whole, in the absence of any light source. For example, if a brand wants to emphasize its logo or any other USPs in the dark, Glow in the Dark tubes would be an apt solution.

Almost all of our laminate and plastic tube offerings can be customized to have this special luminous property, irrespective of diameter width and tube size. These tubes are particularly useful for clients in categories such as Beauty & Cosmetics, Pharma & Health, and Oral Care, and more so when a unique packaging appeal is needed.

Glow in the Dark tubes are unique, instantly recognizable, and have high shelf appeal – perfect for when you need to make your packaging solution stand out versus the competitive set.

Radiance

Today there is nobody in tube business that can offer this feature as it involved good printing technology and add-on eqipment to register the LENS FOIL to Print. EPL is the first to bring this technology to offer 3D LENS FOIL directly on the primary packaging. Today, it is all possible only on secondary packaging like CARTONS etc. By bringing this effect on Primary packaging (Tube), it makes the product go directly on the shelf without the need for secondary packaging (Saving Cost, time and more).

3D Foil

Typically the EMBOSS and DEBOSS effect is available on Cartons with dies (Male & Female). This option on our start-of-the flexo press makes a unique 3D emboss effect achievable in-line. The raised foil is one of its kind at EPL in tube business. Again, we aim at getting the decorations that are today available only on secondary packaging.

Screen Braille Effect

Screen effect enhances the brand/product name with a Braille effect. It also helps print Braile option for the blind (Especially in Pharma business). We can achieve Screen in varioys clours. This is again possible with EPL’s state-of-the-art flexo presses available across all its units globally.

Lens Foil Effect

Offering Lens effects that are today available only on secondary packaging (which could be avoided)

Gloss

Offering a 3D metallic effects that are today available only on secondary packaging (which could be avoided)
