What are Kraft Paper Tubes?

Kraft paper tubes are primarily made from kraft paper, which is an uncoated paper stock. Kraft paper features a rough and porous surface, which delivers a natural and rustic packaging look.

When we think of Kraft paper, its signature brown color often comes to our mind. However, there are three available colors: brown, white, and black.

Which Kraft Paper Suits Your Packaging Needs?

If you’re aiming for a rustic packaging look, brown kraft paper tubes are an excellent choice, particularly for beauty and cosmetics product packaging.

For designs with vibrant graphics, white kraft paper is the best option because it provides a plain white base to ensure as premium printing result as possible.

If you prefer solid matte black packaging tubes, black kraft paper is the right choice.

It’s important to note that Kraft paper tends to absorb more ink during the printing process due to its uncoated surface. As a result, the final printed colors may not be as vibrant as they appear in the digital design. The original color of black and brown kraft paper also affects the printing result.

To achieve more accurate and consistent color reproduction for key graphic elements, such as your brand logo and brand name, consider using spot color matching (Pantone color printing). This method provides more precise color results across different printing batches over time compared to standard CMYK (4-color process) printing.

Kraft Shipping Tubes

Kraft paper tube packaging has a variety of applications, including industrial uses, shipping, and consumer product packaging in retail settings.

One of its primary functions is serving as a mailer tube. These long kraft paper shipping tubes are widely used for shipping posters, prints, paintings, and drawings.

There are many stock brown kraft mailer tubes available on the market. These paper shipping tubes typically feature a single-tube design with plastic closures (caps) at both ends. The available stock sizes are limited, which may result in difficulties in finding the right sizes that fit your packaging and shipping needs.

Consider trying the customized kraft shipping tubes in the full-telescopic 3-piece style, available in any diameters and heights, either custom-printed or blank.

Retail Application of Kraft Paper Tube Packaging

Kraft paper tubes are not only used for shipping and mailing but are also popular in retail packaging. They are commonly used for packaging items such as candles, coffee, loose leaf tea, herbal tea, food products, lotions, vape hardware, cosmetic serum bottles, and powdered supplements. These tubes can be customized in terms of size, printing, materials, and finishes to suit your specific packaging requirements.
