Abstract: A tube head is provided which is designed to be associated with a skirt so as to form an internal volume of the tube. The tube head includes a body formed from plastics material, that includes a neck having an opening at a first end, through which opening a product is removed from the internal volume of the tube, and a shoulder which is joined to a second end of the neck opposite the first end. The tube head also includes an insert arranged so as to be in contact with said shoulder and forming a barrier between the body and the product contained in the internal volume. The insert includes a central portion and a peripheral region. The central portion forms a non-perforated disc sealing the neck, and the peripheral region being mounted so as to as to be in contact with a complementary planar surface of the body.

Abstract: The invention concerns a packaging film, in particular for production of a packaging with at least one packaging film section comprising a single- or multi-layered substrate, a printed functional layer formed from a printable material forming at least in sections an outer layer of the packaging film section and structured such that it has antimicrobial and/or oxygen-scavenging properties. According to the invention it is provided that the section of the functional layer forming an outer layer of the packaging film section, or the functional layer forming the whole outer layer of the packaging film section, on an outside of the packaging film section is arranged at least in sections in an area surrounded by an annular sealing surface. Furthermore, the invention concerns a packaging and a packaging-product unit.
