Custom Cardboard Tubes

Custom Printed Cardboard Tubes

Cardboard tubes, also known as paper tubes, provide a unique way to package products in round packaging instead of the standard square box. Similar to rigid boxes, cardboard tubes are rigid in nature, and are the ideal choice for products that are cylindrical or round in nature. Use cardboard tubes to package items such as lipsticks, cosmetics, products in cans, fragile items such as glass bottles, or rolled up posters and banners.
