Single tube packaging is one of our most popular styles of tubes especially for drinks packaging. Single wine bottle tube packaging has a lower production and material cost, so this will usually come with a saving over the other styles of tubes we offer. More information on Single Tubes.

Telescopic Tube

Custom paper telescopic tubes are very popular for custom candle packaging and cosmetics packaging. This two-piece packaging consists of the bottom base and the top lid. The top lid can be any length whether it be to just above the bottom of the base or half way up the bottom of the base. More information on Telescopic tubes.

Butted tubes are our most popular tubes, these are great for a variety of products. The tube consists of three parts, the top lid, the tube base which has an inner neck which the top lid sits on. This is a popular choice among cylinder cosmetics packaging. More information on Butted tubes.

Tube Cap Materials

Metal Caps

Our metal lids for tubes are available in silver, gold and black, these can also vary in size to go along with the sizing of your tube. Both the top and bottom of the tubes can be assembled with metal caps. The caps can be personalised with printed logos including an embossed/debossed logo option.  

Plastic Caps

Plastic caps are available in an array of colours, with our most popular colour being white. There are cost savings when choosing this particular cap as this is more readily available and easier for suppliers to work with.

 

Paper Caps (rolled/un-rolled ends)

Our cardboard lids are the more popular option out of the three choices. This is made in the same material as the tube. The paper caps can be finished with either a rolled need or unrolled end. Our most popular option is the rolled end as our customers find it’s a more durable finish and its smoother to touch.  

Tube Paper Materials

Uncoated Paper

Uncoated paper is a standard finish for tubes. This gives an premium look, and allows full CMYK printing on the tube.As well as uncoated paper we can use coated paper.

Kraft Paper

Kraft paper tubes are great if you want an eco-friendly look and feel. Most of these tubes will have either a single colour print or a two-colour print. brown Kraft paper is commonly seen on cardboard tubes, both inside and out.

 

Cardboard

Cardboard tubes are eco-friendly and are typically fully recyclable. This is one of our more rustic looking tubes and is an untreated material. There are some cost savings when choosing cardboard tubes.

Branding Options/Extras

Foil Stamping

Foil stamping is a big hit for tube packaging. we have a variety of foil colour options to choose from, the most popular options being the silver and gold foil. These look particularly good on text and logos, giving the tubes a luxury finish.

Spot UV

Spot UV is becoming a popular finish on our tubes and packaging boxes. Spot UV can be applied to any colour, but particularly stands out on darker colours especially black. We advise using Spot UV on a matte finish to allow the effect to stand out even more.

Full CMYK

You name it, we brand it. You can choose any design or print to go on your tubes. This can be a simple logo to an eye catching full-colour artwork print covering the whole tubes surface. Printing costs are often similar no matter how many colours you choose or how complex the design may be. 

Matte Finish

Matt finish is one of our more popular finishes on our tube packaging. This is perfect for dark or intense colour due to there being no reflective qualities on the tube. The colours stay to their truest forms. Matte finish also looks great with Spot UV and Foil stamping finishes. 

Gloss Finish

If you have a design with small and intricate details or a lot of text then gloss is a good pick for your tubes. Gloss preserves the quality of the print and makes the products shine, so they stand out under any light.

Lid Decoration

Lid decoration is popular among our cosmetics and candle packaging. The most common decoration for our tubes is ribbon bows. There are other ribbons and fabrics you can choose room to create a lid decoration that suits your design.
