Abstract

The present invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of packaging, in particular of tubes for containing viscous fluids such as toothpaste, hair gel, cosmetic creams, food paste or the like. There is provided in a first aspect a method of manufacturing a tube having an elongate tube body (1) and a polygonal cross section comprising the steps of:
  • a) forming creases in sheet material (15);
  • b) using the creases in the sheet material (15) to locate and orient the sheet material during manufacture of the tube;
  • c) forming the tube body (1) in a polygonal form from said sheet material (15) such that the creases form edges (3) of the tube; and
  • d) applying a pre-formed shoulder (5) and a cap (4) to a first end of the tube body (1).
