Rigid tubes are a fundamental part of many industries as they are strong, robust and can be chemically resistant. This makes them suitable for use with hazardous materials and can offer protection to those handling the products on a daily basis. We recommend using sturdy rigid tubes in the agriculture industry.

Storing specimens and small components may also need a rigid tube to ensure the contents are safe and therefore our products are also suitable for both the automotive and laboratory, analytical and pharmaceutical industries. One of our largest application for rigid tubes is within the hobbies and craft industry where the tubes can be used for storing products such as glitter, embroidery beads, gun maintenance and fishing boilies.

Extensive choice

Here at Measom Freer we pride ourselves on being a one stop shop for all your recyclable plastic needs and do our utmost to offer exceptional choice and flexibility. So understandably, we don’t stop at just offering lid preferences!

Other customisable options for rigid tubes include the type of plastic used. As, whilst our standard rigid tube range is manufactured in clear recyclable polystyrene or natural high density polythene as standard, we are happy to offer a number of other alternatives including HIPS (high impact polystyrene), SAN (styrene acrylonitrile), PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) and bioplastics.

Size-wise you can go as small as 5ml right up to a 25ml capacity. And our plastic rigid tubes are also available in a choice of colours. So, if you have a specific shade in mind, be sure to get in touch as we are able to produce a number of alternatives to order.

And don’t forget we offer additional product tailoring and printing services to guarantee you get exactly what you need from your plastic rigid tube.
