Abstract

A stackable tapered tube body has an annular inwardly directed bead or corrugation in the region of the sealant layer. This provides that the tube bodies do not touch each other directly and that in particular the sealant layer is protected when tube bodies are stacked together. The beads or corrugations are produced by the tube shell being gripped substantially over its entire periphery, and deformed.
