Food Tube
SweeTARTS Squeez
For: Wonka
By: Alcan Packaging/Cebal
The 1-3/16" diameter laminate tube incorporates a snap-on, dispensing closure for ease of use. It was important to incorporate a snap-on cap so it wouldn't come off under determined children's prying. Several SweeTARTS flavors have been introduced by Nestlé, each with colorful, eye catching graphics. The product is a gel dispensed through a round opening, so the barrier properties of laminate were also important.
