Common questions
What buyers ask before quoting paper tube packaging
Do oval or square tubes cost more than round?
Slightly more. Round is the standard format; oval and square cost a little more per unit at the same size and quantity. The exact difference is confirmed with the quote.
What tube sizes can you make?
Most tubes we make are 50–120 mm in diameter and 80–250 mm tall. If your product needs something outside those ranges, send the size and we will confirm feasibility with the quote.
What cap styles are available for paper tubes?
Two: a lift-off lid that sits over the tube, or a plug-in lid that fits inside the opening. Tell us how the tube will be opened and displayed and we will suggest one with the quote.
How do you get the lid fit and the rolled edge right?
Both are settled at the sampling stage. The lid is adjusted to be tight enough that it does not fall off and loose enough to open easily, and the rolled edge is confirmed on the same sample. You check both on the physical sample, and bulk production follows the approved sample.
Can you add a moisture-resistant lining?
Yes, an aluminium foil lining inside the tube, for moisture resistance. Mention it in the quote request so it is included in the sample.
Can you produce packaging without final artwork?
Yes, for the quote and structural stage. We can confirm structure, board and MOQ from product dimensions and reference images. Final print-ready artwork is only needed before sampling.
Will you quote below the MOQ?
Yes, we assess it. Our stated minimums are 1,000 pcs for rigid boxes, paper tubes and mailer boxes, and 3,000 pcs for folding cartons. Below that, send your target quantity and we will check feasibility against your actual specification and tell you how the unit price changes, rather than refusing on the number alone.
