squeeze tube

Toothpaste's flexible container

A squeeze tube is a flexible cylindrical container that dispenses its contents when pressure is applied to its sides.

Toothpaste, ointments, and artist's paints commonly come in squeeze tubes.

The design allows controlled dispensing and keeps contents sealed between uses: Roll the squeeze tube from the bottom to get the last bit out.
