Nice information. But if you are wondering what toothpaste is best for for, my recommendation is one called Tom's. Its all natural and i swear you will not use another after trying this product. They also have the mouthwash. You can get this from CVS, Wholefood and i think Giant carries it now as well. For those in the states. |

Origins: This item about markings on toothpaste tubes is yet another Internet-circulated consumer tip that supposedly provides useful information about a common class of product by revealing data that is available only to those "in the know" who are cognizant of where to look for hidden Report Advertisement indicators and how to interpret them. And as is typical of such tips, the claim about what these indicators supposedly reveal is completely wrong. According to this bit of online lore, the colored squares or rectangular bars found on the crimp at the closed end of toothpaste tubes signify the composition of the product contained therein: whether its ingredients are "natural" or "chemical," and whether the toothpaste includes "medicine." (These terms are really too vague to be useful, as even "natural" products are made up of "chemicals," and "medicine" is too non-specific a term to be informative.) However, those colored squares on the crimps of those tubes have nothing to do with the formulation of the toothpaste inside. They're an artifact of the manufacturing process known as "eye marks" or "color marks," printed marks that can be read by light beam sensors and typically identify where product packaging is to be cut or folded as connected units stream through machinery at high speed: Eye mark: A printed rectangular mark most often found along the edge of webstock that can be identified by an electric eye. The mark identifies a point on the web where an individual package is to be cut. 3 Likes |

Etizz: I think it should be given some serious consideration by whatever organisation is responsible for these checks. Imagine, I have a close up herbal toothpaste with pictures of aloe vera, eucalyptus, sage and even thyme but the stripe is black and ingredients reads chemicals. SMH. 1 Like |

Wow, I checked my Oral-B, it is blue, meaning natural+medicine. My spare Close herbal is black, i.e, all chemicals. How can my 'Herbal' closeup be black? |

Re: The Secret Behind The Toothpaste Bottom Colour by Sormeh: 7:46am On Dec 06, 2015 |
I don't think the op is right. those colours hv nothing to do with the ingredients used at all. I'm sure you guys hv seen similar colours on other packaged products like biscuits, detergents, nylon packed margarines, etc. Those colour stripes are there to let the automated sealing machine recognize the place to seal and cut. Manufacturers can use any colour they wish for the bottom stripe (depending on the colours present on their packaging design) to program their sealing machine. It has nothing to do with the ingredients. |

According to Snopes.com (a very reliable hoax-slayer website), this is false. The bottom colour is an "artifact of the manufacturing process known as "eye marks" or "color marks," printed marks that can be read by light beam sensors and typically identify where product packaging is to be cut or folded as connected units stream through machinery at high speed." http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/household/toothpastemarkings.asp 1 Like |
