ABL & PBL Tube – High-Barrier Laminate Tubes for Active Formulas

ABL and PBL tubes both belong to the laminate tube category – the most high-performance tubes in cosmetic packaging. Through multi-layer co-extrusion, they embed a high-barrier material within the tube wall, effectively blocking oxygen, light, moisture, and aromas from penetrating and degrading sensitive formulas.

The core value of laminate tubes：Keep active ingredients (vitamin C, retinol, sunscreen, essential oils, etc.) stable and effective throughout shelf life – extending product lifespan and reducing formula waste.

Two structure options：
· ABL Tube (Aluminum Barrier Laminate) ：Aluminum foil barrier – maximum protection, visible weld seam, metallic sheen
