ABSTRACT:
A cinch (10) to hold resilient tubes (22), permanently collapsed, during and between use. Partially used resilient tubes (22) can not stay collapsed without an external containment, like a cinch (10), made of a single piece of back-to-back, self-engaging material. As product is dispensed, the tube is flattened (24) to keep product at the outlet (30) and folded to form a passageway (26) wide enough to receive the cinch (10) that was stored on the tube (100). A cinch (10) inserted through the passageway (26), wrapped around the body of the tube (28), overlapped and fastened (18) to itself, will permanently hold the tube (22) in a collapsed state, ready to use and full to exclude the atmosphere protecting its contents from contamination, oxidation and drying, over the products useful life time. A tube (22) so contained may be stored in new ways. The string (11) and holes (16) allow for aftermarket decoration, identification and tracking of product.
