nameraka Posted January 11, 2020 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?
Swimmod_Luna Posted January 11, 2020 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.
