Custom Cardboard Cylinder Paper Tubes Packaging

Our custom cardboard tubes packaging is made from 100% recycled Kraft paper. We take the raw material and roll it around a metal mold which is glued to make rigid tubes. Once dried we can then cut these tubes into the desired lengths for customers, making customizing orders for any customers a total breeze. Whatever you need to pack, we can provide the appropriate packing to ensure safe transit and delivery. For food-related products we offer a version of the tube that is laminated inside with aluminum foil to provide a moisture and greaseproof layer, making them food safe. Packaging tube boxes can be further customized with inserts, lids, and print options.

Why cardboard tubes packaging makes a great packing option.

Because of the shape of our cylinder tubes they are ideal for packing common round objects, such as wine bottles, cans. Because these products are snugly fitted into the Custom cardboard tubes packaging they have less opportunity to break in transit. In addition, tubes are inherently stronger than rectangular packaging and use slightly less material. We can add lids to suit a range of product designs, and so if you are looking to ship anything from small glass bottles to cosmetics, essential oils or anything else you can think of that are heavy and round, our cardboard tubes are ideal. We can offer small or large tubes, so have no fears over shipping wine bottles, tubes of paint, or other fragile products. Kraft cardboard cylinder tubes are also often used for non-breakable products, as many brands feel that the tube design enhances the view of their brand. Examples include T-shirts, coffee, and candles. Our cardboard cylinder tubes are very durable and are made entirely from rigid Kraft paper. They feature thick walls that can withstand a lot of force and are resistant enough to not change shape in any way whilst in transit. Your product will arrive safe and secure using our tube boxes.

Print and finish option for Kraft paper tubes

It is possible to customize all our custom printed cardboard tubes. Custom print designs can be wrapped around the plain Kraft paper tubes, adding to their strength whilst also providing the perfect brand image for your products. Unlike many products in our range, we do not print directly onto round tubes. In addition to being able to provide full-color print wraps for the tubes, we can offer a range of hot foil stamps in both gold and silver, plus the popular spot UV option is available to grab the attention of potential customers. Using our custom printed tube packaging ensures that your products are protected and look good. For more functional options, you can elect to purchase plain ready-made plain Kraft paper tubes and simply use custom labels to bring them into line with your brand design. Whilst this has less visual impact, customers are used to receiving plain brown tubes in the post, and so the emphasis can shift to how your product is packed inside the tube. Plain tubes are available in brown, white, and black colors. If you are designing a brand that needs to have the greatest visual impact upon delivery, we recommend that you opt for branded custom cardboard tubes, which ensures your brand image is the first thing your customers notice upon delivery. The cost of custom tube packaging is slightly higher than that of plain tubes, but experience shows us that the difference is well worth it.

Being a professional custom cardboard cylinder tube box packaging manufacturer and direct supplier, we can provide a huge range of customization options, allowing you to ensure that you get the right tube structure, lids, inserts, and printing to ensure the finish is truly unique to you and your company.

We offer four Kraft paper cardboard tubes packaging types

Whilst it’s fine to dabble when testing out a small batch of products, by the time you are looking to enter your main production phase you will want to have ensured that you have perfected your packaging choices. To do this, it is important to know the four main options of cardboard tube packaging tube structure that can be offered. Cardboard or paper tube packaging can be comprised of 3-pieces or 2-pieces. These separate pieces make up the total of the tube packaging. The outer base, inner neck (for the 3-piece version), and the top lid can all be customized in length to get the right design of cardboard tube packaging boxes for you. As discussed above, the tubes can be wrapped in different colors or prints and hot foils and spot UV give the final touches.

 

 

 

 

3-piece Cardboard Tube Style #1

This style is the most commonly used 3-piece option. The inner neck is glued into a long outer base to allow a short lid to neatly sit on the top. This is how many wines or whiskies will be presented to you. After closing the lid, no neck will be visible.

 

 

 

 

3-piece Cardboard Tube Style #2

This cardboard tube variant is essentially the inverse of the first style. A short outer base has the inner neck glued into it and then a long lid is seated on top. Once again, no neck will be visible once the lid is placed over the base. This style is popular for presenting items that will be revealed as the lid is removed, rather than being slid out of the base as with style #1.

 

 

 

 

3-piece Cardboard Tube Style #3

This tube box style is similar to both the above styles. Where it differs is that the lid does not meet the outer base, allowing some of the neck to be exposed. For this and all other styles, the inner neck can be colored any way you like and can complement the outer printing or styling. This can be particularly effective when matching the inner neck to a hot foil print on the base or lid.

 

 

 

 

2-piece Cardboard Tube Style #4

Finally, we offer the 2-piece style. The top lid is shorter than the bottom base and this allows the lid to be slid down over the base without completely concealing it. The exposed part of the base allows customers to grip and remove the base from inside the lid. This exposed element can be styled to enhance the overall design of the stylised package.

Open edge treatment for tube packaging

There are two options available when it comes to the treatment of the opening edge of your inner tube. The first option is a straight cut edge. This is neat and means that your inner tube will remain the same width from top to bottom. The second option is the rolled edge, where the top few millimeters are rolled over to provide a smooth and pleasing edge. The rolled edge also prevents any scratches being caused to the lid, which can be a consideration, depending on how frequently the packaging will be opened and handled by the end-user. Be aware that the rolled edge slightly narrows the end of your tube, so if your product is intended to fit perfectly into the tube with no leeway, you may need to go for the straight cut edge on your cardboard tube packaging.

 

 

 

 

The difference between rolled and unrolled cardboard tube packaging opening edge

There is very little difference in price between the rolled and straight cut cardboard tube packaging opening types so select the most appropriate style for your product.

Two material types for lids for custom cardboard cylinder tubes packaging.

Our custom paper tubes are available with two kinds of lids. Our most popular option is a matching lid, using the same cardboard material cardboard tubes. Not only is this the more cost-effective option, but it also has the most customization options available. You can add full-color print wraps, hot foil stamps, and spot UV printing to these, just like the base tubes. As an alternative, it is possible to select metal end caps. These metal lids come in silver, gold, or black and can be embossed with your logo or printed upon. Because of the extra requirements needed to produce metal end caps, there is a higher minimum order quantity required and we can only offer them for certain size tubes.

 

 

 

 

Paper tube packaging boxes with bespoke cardboard lids

The paperboard used in our tubes is best matched with lids of the same material. These can be custom printed to match perfectly, with virtually no size difference between the base and lid (typically under 1mm). Tubes and lids can be used in their natural brown, or custom printed with full-color prints, hot foil stamps, and spot UV printing.

 

 

 

 

Cardboard tube packaging boxes with metal end caps

If opting for tube packaging with metal end caps, these are available in black, silver, and gold. These are available for a limited range of sizes. Both ends of the cardboard tubes can be given a metal end cap, which can be printed on or embossed with your logo, subject to minimum order requirements.

Use a high-end custom cardboard tube manufacturer for the perfect customization options

Most of our cardboard tube packaging can be customized to match up to your design plans. We can add a range of extra features, such as foam inserts, rope handles, aluminum inner lining, and a whole lot more. Our aluminum-lined cardboard tubes are ideal for safely storing and distributing food or products that may become greasy. The inner wall of the tube is laminated with aluminum to prevent any cardboard from coming in direct contact with the product inside. Other tube packaging can be used for cosmetics and other products that frequently come in small tubes or bottles, such as essential oils. To best protect these types of products in transit, we recommend foam inserts in the top and bottom of the tube to minimize movement in transit and soften any courier-related impacts. Adding a rope handle to any customized cardboard tube packaging is simple to do and can be done for large or small quantities. Further customization, such as adding ribbons or pull tabs can easily be accommodated in all of our cardboard tube lids.
