Ordering & MOQ

We mainly manufacture custom paper tubes based on each customer’s packaging requirements, including custom sizes, tube styles, materials, printing, and finishes.

Yes, multiple artwork designs may be possible within the same order if the tube size, structure, and materials are the same. However, minimum quantities may apply to each design, especially when different printing plates, finishes, or production setups are required.

Send us the quantity and artwork requirements for each design, and we’ll check the most practical production option for your project.

Pricing & Payment

The price of custom paper tubes depends on several factors, including the tube size, structure, materials, order quantity, printing, finishes, and packaging requirements.

In general, larger order quantities can help reduce the unit cost because production setup costs are spread across more pieces. For an accurate quotation, send us your required quantity, tube dimensions, artwork or printing requirements, and delivery destination.

To prepare an accurate quotation, we typically need the tube dimensions, tube style, order quantity, materials, printing or finishing requirements, and delivery destination.

Common paper tube styles include one-piece, two-piece, three-piece, and push-up paper tubes. Different structures are suitable for different products and packaging applications.

Paper tubes can be made with different paper-based materials depending on the desired appearance, printing requirements, and application. Common options include kraft paper, white paper, coated paper, and specialty papers.

Once the artwork and sample, if required, are approved, we will confirm the estimated production schedule for your order. If you have a specific delivery deadline, please let us know when requesting a quotation so we can check the available production timeline.

Before mass production, we confirm the key order specifications, including the tube dimensions, structure, materials, quantity, artwork, printing, and finishing requirements.

If a pre-production sample is required, production will begin after the sample and artwork are approved. This confirmation process helps ensure that the finished paper tubes are produced according to the agreed specifications.

Shipping & After-Sales

Depending on the order size, destination, and required delivery time, custom paper tube orders can typically be shipped by sea freight, air freight, or express courier.

Sea freight is generally more suitable for larger-volume orders, while air freight or express courier may be considered when shorter transit times are required. We can help recommend a suitable shipping method based on your order and delivery requirements.

Shipping time depends on the destination, shipping method, customs clearance, and local delivery arrangements.

Express and air freight generally offer shorter transit times, while sea freight usually takes longer but can be more economical for larger shipments. We will provide an estimated shipping schedule based on the destination and selected shipping method when your order is arranged.
