All of our ready-made tubes are designed to be reusable, recyclable, and biodegradable. They are made out of 100% paper and contain no plastic whatsoever. We use virgin paper pulp and water-based glue. 

For custom-made tubes, we try to be as eco-conscious as possible, while keeping functionality in mind. If you’re using tubes as secondary packaging and want to reduce your environmental impact, we suggest uncoated kraft or white paper with printing and varnish. 

If you have a food or cosmetics based product, or something that requires direct contact with our tubes, it’s almost impossible to completely eliminate plastic from the inner liner that ensures shelf life and oil-resistance. With that said, we are always exploring different natural materials, like vegetable inks, PLA lamination, and wax paper inner lining for solid cosmetics products. We always strive to be as eco-friendly as possible and will work with you to ensure your tube packaging has the smallest ecological footprint.

Yes, we can custom food-grade paper tubes, they can be used to pack food & food-safe connect. 

On a food-grade paper tube customization, we will use the materials below to guarantee food-safe:

1. tube core – white kraft paper 
White kraft paper as a food-grade material , it’s widely used in many food packaging. We use it when customizing a food-grade paper tube. 

2. inner tube – aluminum liner or PE liner applied 
Aluminum and PE coated liners are designed to repel moisture and oil, aiding in maintaining the dryness of food stored within. Additionally, both materials are food-safe and suitable for direct contact with food.

Although these are food-grade materials, they cannot provide long shelf life to food. Airtightness is the key point for our food to get a long shelf life, we must get tube sealed. Here we’ll highly recommend an airtight tube for food: paper cans (click to see details)

We are sorry we may not help on an artwork design from 0-1 yet, but we’d like to help:

1. provide you blank layout to fast finish it 
2. to do changes on your original artwork 

Anything we change, we’ll send back you a copy to be approved. 

We must be honest that printing colors could be “slightly” different on each batches, especially when we apply with CMYK printing. 

The key factors influencing printing colors include color accuracy blended by master, paper material, printer maintenance. When paper material is same, the other two factors can led a difference still, even we have made the best to narrow the difference. 

To better solve this issue, we always keep copies from last order and will make everything closest on new orders. Another way is to tranfer colors to Pantone colors printing system, we’ll get it almost same.
