nameraka Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 why are toothpaste tubes sold in cardboard boxes? why not just put a little plastic seal over the end of the tube like they do with mouthwash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmod_Luna Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Probably easier to pack in boxes for shipping when they're all in individual boxes that stack nicely. And also since the tubes are soft they can't get punctured during shipping or be tampered with once on the shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention that filling those store shelves with toothpaste tubes would be an exercise in futility. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
