Nichrome’s toothpaste packaging systems are ‘Mazbooth’
While brushing teeth is not given much thought by consumers because it is probably the first daily hygiene activity in our everyday lives. It is a big business for the corporate conglomerates that produce most of the world’s toothpaste.
A study estimate says that Americans alone buy over 14 million gallons of toothpaste every year. For a little perspective, this is roughly equal to 175,000 bathtubs of the creamy mint stuff. A tube, squeeze tube, or collapsible tube is a collapsible package which can be used for viscous liquids packaging such as toothpaste, artist's paint, adhesive, and ointments.
The toothpaste packaging process is relatively straight-forward. Toothpaste ingredients are weighed to ensure the correct proportions. Ingredients are then mixed in a stainless-steel vessel (water and the humectant is usually done first). Process temperature and humidity are watched closely to ensure proper mixing.
After the ingredients are mixed, the finished toothpaste is sent to a high-speed toothpaste filling machine where a pump fills each tube through its open bottom. After the tube is filled, the end is sealed (or crimped).
As a secondary packaging process, filled and crimped tubes are inserted into individual retail cartons. The carton packaging machine, which is basically a secondary packaging system, then packs the finished product either through a horizontal cartoner or a vertical cartoner. These cartons are then packed into master cartons that constitute tertiary packaging and shipped to warehouses, distribution centres and stores.
Small sachets are becoming increasingly popular for packaging cosmetic and personal care products like toothpaste, shampoo, gel, and lotions. Nichrome’s packaging machines provide attractive, contaminant-free packaging for such applications.
