Choosing a Tube Type for Your Product

Top Tubes manufactures extruded plastic, ABL (aluminum barrier laminate), and PBL (plastic barrier laminate) tubes in dozens of head and nozzle configurations. The gallery below shows our most common tube types and the diameters each one is available in, so you can find a starting point that matches your product’s viscosity, dispensing style, and application.

Each code corresponds to a specific nozzle or cap shape. If you already know which dispensing style you need, our dedicated pages go into more detail on nozzle tubes, lip gloss tubes, twist off tubes, pump tubes, roller ball tubes, and oval and disc tubes.
