FAQ
Are your tubes eco-friendly?
Yes, our tubes are eco-friendly! We offer two main types of cylindrical paper cans: all-paper cans and composite paper cans.
- All-paper cans are made entirely from paper, making them fully recyclable and environmentally friendly. They are perfect for packaging gifts, daily chemical products, and other items where sustainability is a priority.
- Composite paper cans have an aluminum foil layer on the inner wall, which provides excellent sealing properties. While they offer additional protection for food products, they are also designed with recyclability in mind.
We prioritize using sustainable materials and processes in our production to ensure that our packaging solutions are not only high-quality but also kind to the environment. If you have any specific eco-friendly requirements, we can customize our products to meet your needs.
Why do some caps fit tighter and some looser
The fit of caps can vary due to several factors:
Manufacturing Tolerances: During production, slight variations in the dimensions of the caps and tubes can occur. These small difference can result in some caps fitting tighter or looser than others.
Material Properties: The materials used for the caps and tubes can affect the fit. For exampple, paper and cardboard can expand or contract slightly with changes in humidity and temperature, impactng how snugly the cap fits.
Design Specifications: Different designs may have varying tolerances for fit. Some caps are designed to be more secure, requiring more force to open, while others are intended to be easier to remove.
Wear and Tear: Over time, repeated use can cause the caps or the edges of the tubes to wear down, leading to a looser fit. Conversely, new caps might be tighter until they are used a few times.
To ensure a consistent fit, it’s important to maintain quality control during production and consider the specific requirements of your product’s packaging. If you have any concerns about the fit of your caps, feel free to reach out to us for assistance!

Standard Custom Orders: For most custom paper tubes, the minimum order quantity is 500 pieces per size. This allows for a mix of 3-4 designs within this quantity.

How do I know which tube size fits my product?
Choosing the right tube size for your product is crucial to ensure proper protection, presentation, and storage. Here are some steps to help you determine the best fit:
Measure Your Product: Start by measuring the dimensions of your product, including its diameter and height. Make sure to measure the widest and tallest parts accurately.
Add a Buffer: To ensure your product fits comfortably without being too tight or too loose, add a small buffer to your measurements. A good rule of thumb is to have the inside diameter of the tube be about 1 millimeter larger than the maximum outside diameter of your product.
Consider the Product’s Shape and Fragility: If your product is fragile or has an irregular shape, you might need additional padding or a custom insert to keep it secure. This might affect the overall size of the tube you need.
Think About the Packaging Material: Different materials can affect the internal dimensions of the tube. For example, composite paper cans with an aluminum foil layer might have slightly different internal dimensions compared to all-paper cans.
Consult with Your Supplier: Share your product dimensions and any specific requirements with your packaging supplier. They can provide expert advice and help you choose or customize the right tube size for your needs.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your product is well-protected and presented in the best possible way. If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out to us with your product details, and we can help you find the perfect fit!
