A simple single-tube paper canister designed for dry products that need stronger barrier protection and a machine-sealed first opening. Choose from compatible standard diameters, custom height, barrier liner and different sealing closures according to your product and filling process.
Single-Tube Body
Simple cylindrical canister structure
Barrier Liner
Selected around product protection needs
Machine-Sealed Ends
Can seaming or heat sealing
Multiple Closures
Peel, pull-tab, reclosure and sifter options
The canister body is formed from multiple layers of paperboard wound into one cylindrical tube. Our standard construction is typically made from around four paper layers to provide the required wall strength.
A barrier liner is selected according to the packed product, while the top and bottom are finished with compatible machine-sealed closures.
Outer Wrap Printed paper for branding and surface finish
Paperboard Body Multi-layer wound paper tube structure
Inner Barrier Selected according to product protection needs
Top Closure Machine-sealed opening system
Bottom Closure Machine-sealed end
Unlike a standard paper tube with a paper lid, a machine-sealed canister must match the diameter of the selected closure and sealing equipment. For this reason, the diameter is selected from our available compatible sizes rather than being completely unrestricted.
Choose from several commonly used standard diameter options that match compatible sealing closures.
Ineterior diameter: Ø52mm / Ø63mm / Ø65mm / Ø73mm / Ø83mm / Ø99mm / Ø126mm / Ø153mm
The canister height can be adjusted around fill volume, product density and shelf presentation.
Send us your product type, fill weight or fill volume and we can recommend a practical starting size.
Why are the diameters standardized?
Machine-sealed paper canisters need to match the selected closure and sealing equipment. Using compatible standard diameters helps achieve a more consistent sealing fit.
Machine-sealed airtight paper canisters are commonly used for dry products that benefit from improved barrier protection and a sealed first opening. The closure can then be selected around how the product will be stored, opened and dispensed.
Aroma-sensitive dry products with barrier and sealed opening requirements.
Wide opening for scooping, with sealed first opening and repeat access after opening.
Sealed first opening with convenient wide-mouth access.
Optional dispensing layer with sifter holes for controlled use.
Barrier protection for suitable dry pet products.
Canister configuration can be reviewed around your product and filling requirements.
We mainly use two sealing directions for this canister format. The right method depends on the selected closure, filling process and desired opening experience.
A can seaming machine mechanically joins the compatible closure to the paper canister rim.
Common closure options: easy-peel lids, pull-tab lids, plug-style closures and double-layer dispensing closures.
A compatible peelable membrane is heat-sealed to the canister opening using hot-air sealing equipment.
This creates a clean first-opening seal that the customer removes by peeling away the membrane.
The inner barrier is selected according to the product’s sensitivity to moisture, oil, aroma and oxygen. The barrier layer and machine-sealed ends work together as one packaging system.
Brand appearance, graphics and surface finishing.
Provides the structural strength of the cylindrical canister body.
Selected around the packed product and required protection.
Important: Shelf-life requirements should be confirmed with the actual product, filling process and final sealing configuration.
A 3-piece paper tube can also be machine heat-sealed to provide good sealing performance. Because the structure uses additional tube components, the packaging cost is usually higher than the single-tube paper canister shown on this page.
For projects where presentation matters as much as sealing, this can be another option.
Select a compatible diameter and adjust height around fill volume and product density.
Select the inner barrier according to the product and required protection.
Choose the sealing and opening system around filling and consumer use.
Must match the selected closure and sealing equipment.
The sealing edge needs consistent dimensions for machine sealing.
The inner layer and tube body are checked before final assembly.
Closure, canister rim and sealing method are evaluated together.
Samples should be tested with the intended sealing setup before production.
Barrier and shelf-life needs should be verified with the actual filled product.

No. This canister format uses a single cylindrical paper body with barrier lining and machine-sealed ends. Standard paper tubes may use removable paper lids and are not necessarily designed for the same sealing system.
Not completely. The diameter needs to match available sealing closures and compatible equipment. We offer several standard diameter options, while the canister height can be adjusted more freely.
Depending on the closure, the canister can be sealed with a can seaming machine or compatible hot-air sealing equipment.
The choice depends on your product, filling process and desired opening experience. Options can include peel lids, pull-tab lids, plug-style closures and dispensing structures.
Yes. For suitable powder products, a dispensing layer with sifter holes can be combined with a sealed top closure.
Possibly. Share the machine specifications, closure type and target canister size so compatibility can be reviewed before production.
You do not need to know the exact closure before contacting us. Tell us what you are packing, how you plan to fill it and whether you need resealing or dispensing after opening. We can help narrow down the canister and closure direction.
It is an easy step, fill out the form and we will be in touch shortly.
With the information, we can elevate your packaging together!
