3. The tube according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of:

the thicknesses of the first and second material strip portions range from 100 μm to 140 μm, and

the applied thickness of the positioning adhesive ranges from 10 μm to 40 μm.

4. The tube according to claim 3 , wherein at least one of:

the thickness of the first and second material strip portions ranges from 120 μm to 130 μm, and

the application thickness of the positioning adhesive ranges from 15 μm to 30 μm.

5. The tube according to claim 1 , further comprising a seam adhesive provided between the first and second material strip portions as glue applied over substantially the entire length with an application thickness of 40 μm to 120 μm.

6. The tube according to claim 5 , wherein the seam adhesive is provided with an application thickness of 60 μm to 100 μm.

7. The tube according to claim 1 , wherein a weight of at least one of the first and second material strip portions ranges from 27 g/m 2 to 125 g/m 2 .

8. The tube according to claim 7 , wherein the weight of at least one of the first and second material strip portions ranges from 60 g/m 2 to 120 g/m 2 .

9. The tube according to claim 7 , wherein the weight of at least one of the first and second material strip portions ranges from 70 g/m 2 to 110 g/m 2 .

10. The tube according to claim 1 , wherein the offset of the abutting edges of the first and second material strip portions is between 0.5 mm to 3 mm.

11. The tube according to claim 10 , wherein the offset of the abutting edges of the first and second material strip portions is between 1.5 mm to 2.5 mm.

12. The tube according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of the second width to the first width is between 52 to 48.

13. The tube according to claim 12 , wherein the ratio of the second width to the first width is between 50.5 to 49.5.

14. A method for producing double-layered tubes of the tobacco processing industry comprising:

conveying a base material strip in the longitudinal axial direction of conveyance;

longitudinal axial cutting of the base material strip into a first material strip having a first width and a second material strip having a second width;

gluing at least the second material strip over at least a substantial portion of an entire surface of the second material strip by applying a positioning adhesive with an application thickness between 10 μm and 80 μm;

combining the first and the second material strips so as to be superimposed and offset to one another, wherein in a region in which the first and the second material strips combined to be superimposed and offset, the material strips are adhesively bonded together;

shaping the superimposed material strips into a tubular rod; and

cutting the rod to length into double-layered tubes.

15. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the application thickness of the positioning adhesive is between 10 μm and 40 μm.

16. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the application thickness of the positioning adhesive is between 15 μm and 30 μm.

17. The method according to claim 14 , further comprising applying a seam adhesive to at least one region on the second material strip with an application thickness of 40 μm to 120 μm.

18. The method according to claim 17 , wherein the seam adhesive is applied with an application thickness of 60 μm to 100 μm.

19. The method according to claim 17 , wherein the seam adhesive is applied at least one of before and after combining the material strips.

20. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the first material strip is narrower than the second material strip, and the shaped second material strip is arranged externally around the shaped first material strip, wherein a ratio of a second width of the second material strip to a first width of the first material strip is between 52 to 48.

21. The method according to claim 20 , wherein the ratio of the second width to the first width is between 50.5 to 49.5.

22. The method according to claim 14 , wherein a type of adhesive used for the positioning adhesive is different from a type of adhesive is used for the seam adhesive.
