Custom Eco Friendly Paper Tube

Eco-friendly paper tubes are cylindrical packaging structures that are designed keeping in mind the suitability and strength without compromising the visual appeal of the packaging. These paper tubes are used widely across multiple industries that include:

• Food
• Cosmetics
• Apparel
• Electronics

Our paper tubes offer an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic packaging and help reduce the carbon footprint of brands. We manufacture the tubes with precise winding techniques and enhance the strength with sustainable coatings and inks.

Material Composition

The material for biodegradable paper tubes is selected based on three parameters:

• Sustainability
• Structural integrity
• Compatibility with printing and finishing processes

Each layer of the paper tube serves a distinct purpose. The core and liner make the internal part of the tubes, while the outer wrap gives added durability and catchiness. Some of the materials that we use for recycled paper tube packaging are as follows:

Kraft Paper

This material is manufactured from premium-quality virgin wood. The tear resistance and tensile strength of kraft make it a primary material in paper tube production. To create a smooth paper with a less porous structure, we remove lignin from the virgin wood fiber and increase the percentage of cellulose.

• GSM Range: A paper of 100 to 400 gsm is used. The GSM selection is done based on the wall thickness and the application of the tubes.
• Source: Pine and bamboo pulp are the common sources of kraft paper. For compostable eco paper tubes, we also have the option of spruce-based kraft.
• Properties: Kraft has high burst strength and flexibility. Its natural brown color shows sustainability and an aesthetic product presentation.

For food-grade paper tubes, we ensure the use of harmless chemicals for manufacturing. If your brand prioritises post-sustainable yet affordable tubes, then we also give the option of post-consumer waste material for tube manufacturing.

Chipboard

The core layer of the paper tubes is usually manufactured with recyclable chipboard due to its strength. Ot gives rigidity to the tubes and enhances the protection of the packed items. Recycled paper fiber is densified and wound into the tube. The cylindrical shape is given with adhesives derived from starch and other biodegradable polymers.

• Thickness Range: Chipboard thickness ranges from 0.5 mm to 5 mm. It is selected based on the tube’s load-bearing capacity.
• Sustainability: Chipboard is highly recyclable and compostable
• Properties: This material gives structural integrity to eco packaging tubes wholesale without relying on virgin wood fibre.

Whiteboard and Art Paper

For premium packaging, whiteboard or coated art paper is used as the outer wrap. These papers offer a smooth, bright surface suitable for high-resolution printing and branding applications.

If you are looking for premium custom sustainable paper tube boxes, then our whiteboard and art paper are the perfect options. They are used as an outer wrap and give a smooth appearance with high-end print resolution and branding applications.

• GSM Range: 120 – 250 gsm
• Finish Options: Gloss and matte are commonly used, but we also give the option of silkscreen.
• Usage: Common in luxury cosmetic paper tubes and apparel paper tubes.

Printing Techniques

Printing is one of the important factors in giving customers accurate information about your product. You can also use printing to grab customers’ attention and promote your brand. The selection of printing is done based on the design complexity and material compatibility. We use only sustainable inks and give recyclable eco packaging tubes wholesale. 

• Offset Lithography

• Flexographic Printing

• Digital Printing

• Screen Printing

Sustainable Inks

Ink selection is crucial for maintaining eco credentials

• Soy-Based Inks
• Water-Based Inks
• Algae-Based Inks
• Vegetable-Based Inks

Coatings and Finishes

Coatings have several benefits, and one of the top benefits is giving a protective layer over the surface of the paper to make it moisture-resistant. We use biodegradable coatings to retain the recyclability of custom sustainable paper tube boxes. Coatings also enhance the surface appearance and protect the printed design. We use the following coatings:

Sustainability Performance

Every element of our eco-friendly kraft paper tube packaging is safe for the environment. From paper core to inks and post-printing coatings, everything is safe for the food and the environment. The key indicators of our environmentally safe packaging tubes are:

• Recyclability: We use 100 per cent recyclable paper that goes well with recyclable paper streams.
• Biodegradability: All the raw materials used in the manufacturing of tubes are compostable within a month. Such as cardboard paper tubes, and kraft paper tubes.
• Carbon Footprint: We ensure the manufacturing process is efficient so that we can reduce emissions up to 40-60%.
• Renewable Sourcing: We use FSC and PEFC-approved paper.
• Adhesives: Solvent-based dies are replaced by water or starch-based adhesives.
