Custom Cardboard Tubes

Printed Cardboard Tubes

Cardboard tubes, also called paper tubes, are a creative way to pack items in round packaging instead of usual square boxes. Like rigid boxes, these tubes are strong and best for round or cylindrical items. Use them for packing things like lipsticks, makeup, canned products, fragile items like glass bottles, or rolled items like posters and banners.

Materials

Cardboard tubes, made with at least 50% recycled materials, come in varying thicknesses (800-1500gsm) depending on their size.

White

Brown kraft

Printing

Each package is printed with soy-based ink, an eco-friendly option that results in notably brighter and more vivid colors.

CMYK

CMYK stands as the most common and budget-friendly color scheme in printing.

Pantone

Coating

To keep your printed designs safe, a special coating is added that prevents scratches and scuffs.

Varnish

A water-based coating that’s environmentally friendly, though not as protective as lamination.

Lamination

While a plastic coated layer offers protection against cracks and tears, it is not an eco-friendly option.

Finishes

Add the final touch to your packaging with a finishing option that enhances your overall package.

Matte

Featuring a smooth and non-reflective surface, this design provides an overall softer look.

Glossy

Glossy and reflective, this surface tends to highlight fingerprints more.

CMYK works by blending different ink levels to produce various colors, similar to what you see with most printers at home or in offices. Pantone colors, however, come pre-mixed and adhere to a universal color matching system for unmatched precision. Generally, CMYK is the go-to choice, but Pantone is ideal for businesses that need the exact hues from the Pantone palette in their branding.
