Abstract: A flat strip 1, suitable for forming a tube flexible skirt, comprising a decorative film 15 superimposed on a primary film 16, said primary film 16 consisting of a series of polymeric layers and comprising a sealable inner layer 14 at the lower surface 20 of the strip 1, said decorative film 15 comprising a sealable outer layer 7 at the upper surface 19 of the strip 1 and a decorative layer 8, 9. The primary film 16 comprises means for stabilizing the strip 1 and protecting the decorative layer 8, 9 against heating.

Abstract: A flexible tube skirt (10) has a primary film (20) and a decorative film (30), wherein the decorative film (30) has a decoration substrate and a sealable outer layer (33) The decoration substrate is applied on all of at least one of the surfaces of the primary film (20) and is below the sealable outer layer (33). The flexible tube skirt may be used in a flexible tube.

Abstract: Multi-layer laminate materials, which include an aluminum foil layer having particular tensile strength properties, are described. The aluminum foil layer in combination with other layers provides important benefits in manufacturing operations, such as filling tubes made by forming a cylinder from the laminate materials and heat sealing the side and end edges. These benefits are obtained in many cases without the need to increase foil weight or layer thickness. The laminate materials preserve the flexibility of conventional tubes, for example toothpaste tubes, as required to dispense products from a tube opening with the application of manual squeezing forces.

Abstract: The invention proposes a film (1) for a skirt (2) of a flexible tube (3) one end of which is intended to be closed by a tube head (4), said multilayer film being intended to be folded on itself and heat-sealed along the length of a longitudinal seal line (6) in such a way as to form the skirt (2) so that a first layer (10) of the multilayer film (1), known as the inner layer, is heat-sealed to a second layer (20) of the multilayer film (1) opposite the first layer, known as the outer layer, characterised in that: —the inner layer (10) comprises a polymer or a blend of polymers with a Young's modulus of at least 1600 MPa, and—the outer layer (20) is made of a biaxially-oriented film.

Abstract: The invention relates to a laminated material for forming a flexible container for holding a hair dye or the like, the laminated material having a first surface which, in use, forms the internal surface of the container, and a second surface which, in use, forms the external surface of the container, the laminated material comprising an inner layer, an outer layer and an intermediate metal foil barrier layer, wherein the inner layer is on the first surface side of the metal foil barrier layer, and wherein the outer layer is on the second surface side of the metal foil barrier layer, wherein the laminated material has a total thickness of at most 240 ?m, and wherein the inner layer comprises polyethylene and has a mean density of 0.92 to 0.94 g/cm3.
