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.

Technical Specs: Custom Cardboard Tubes

An outline of the common custom features available for cardboard tubes.

Materials

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

White

High-quality printing results from using Solid Bleached Sulfate (SBS) paper.

Brown kraft

Unbleached brown paper, perfect for black or white printing only.

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

For accurate brand colors to be printed and is more luxury than CMYK.

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.

Satin

Semi-glossy, striking a balance between a matte and glossy appearance.

Soft touch

Resembles a matte finish in appearance, yet has a luxurious velvet-like texture to the touch.

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.
