Abstract: A plastic tube with a tubular tube body which is connected through a shoulder to a neck having an external thread and with a screw cap which can be screwed with an internal thread onto the external thread of the neck. The shoulder is injection molded onto the corresponding end of the tube body, wherein the shoulder and the externally threaded neck are constructed in one piece. The shoulder and the adjacent end of the tube body have a polygonal cross-section and the same polygonal cross-section continues over the length of the tube body. At least two side surfaces of the tube body extend from this transition point essentially plane or with a straight surface toward the end of the tube.
