Product Details
Most products on a shelf come in rectangles, so a cylinder catches the eye immediately. Paper tube packaging gives your product a rounded, premium shape, a smooth lift-off lid and a continuous printed surface with no corners to break up the design. It also feels solid in the hand, which makes even simple products seem more valuable.
Packwhole makes custom paper tubes for cosmetics, lip care, tea, coffee, candles, socks, t-shirts, prints, posters and gift sets.
| Style | Description | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|
| Lid and base | Classic two-part tube | Cosmetics, candles, tea |
| Lid, neck and base | Neck lets the lid sit flush | Premium gifts |
| Push-up tube | Product slides up from the bottom | Lip balm, deodorant sticks |
| Shoulder tube | Visible shoulder ring | Fragrance, spirits gifts |
| Mailing tube | Long tube with end caps | Posters, prints, maps |
Cardboard tubes are formed by spiral winding several paperboard layers, so wall thickness can be adjusted for light or heavy products. Small tubes for lip balm might be under an inch across, while gift tubes for bottles or rolled apparel can be several inches wide. Share your product diameter and height, and we will size the interior with a snug, easy-to-open fit.
The outer wrap is printed separately and laminated onto the tube, which allows full color designs that run all the way around. Popular options include:
Inserts can hold bottles, jars or several small items upright inside the tube. A food-contact liner can be discussed for loose tea or coffee. Tissue paper or a printed card inserted on top adds a finishing touch for gifts.
Paper tube packaging suits brands that want a distinctive shelf presence, such as natural cosmetics, specialty tea, candle makers and apparel startups that roll t-shirts into tubes. You can also compare our custom essential oil boxes or custom candle boxes if you are deciding between a tube and a carton.
Paper tubes are made mostly from paperboard, which many brands prefer over plastic containers for a natural look. Pairing a kraft wrap with simple one-color printing gives tubes an earthy, handmade style. Whether a tube can be recycled depends on local programs and any coatings or liners used, so check with your local guidelines before making environmental claims on your packaging. We can help you choose finishes that suit the look you want. Tubes also stand upright on a shelf or lie on their side in a display, which gives retailers more ways to merchandise them. A printed lid that matches the label on the body keeps the brand readable from any angle, and a contrasting color on the lid can help shoppers tell flavors or scents apart at a glance.
Tell us the diameter and height you need, the tube style and your quantity. You will receive free structural and artwork guidance, a digital proof, low minimums and quick production. Email support@packwhole.com about your tubes, or quote them on www.packwhole.com.
