About
A squeeze tube is a flexible container measuring about 8 inches long, used for dispensing pastes and gels.
Squeeze tubes vary widely in scale, ranging from tiny travel ointments to large containers for construction sealants. Typical household versions for toothpaste or artist paints usually range from 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 cm) in length. Metal varieties collapse permanently as they are pressed, while modern plastic styles retain their shape even as the liquid empties. Their slender, cylindrical profiles are designed to store several ounces of viscous liquid while taking up very little counter space.
