One-piece Paper Tube

A one-piece paper tube, also known as a single paper tube, typically consists of a single tube with closures on both ends, made of cardboard, metal, plastic, or membrane lids or bottoms. The thickness of the cardboard wall is usually 1mm, or in some cases 1.5mm for extra packaging strength.

Why One-piece Paper Tube

1) Minimalism: The one-piece paper tube features a simple, single tube structure, unlike the more complex 2-piece or 3-piece cardboard tubes. This design creates a clean and minimalistic packaging solution.

2) Increased Packaging Strength: One-piece paper tubes usually lack rolled edges on both ends, allowing for a thicker cardboard wall, up to 1.5 mm. This added thickness enhances the strength and durability of the packaging.

3) Variety of End Closures: One-piece paper tubes can be paired with various closure options, including metal, plastics, and membrane seals. If you’re looking to deviate from standard cardboard closures and provide a unique packaging option that helps your brand stand out, this tube structure is worth considering.

4) Eco-Friendly: The simple single-tube design requires fewer materials for production, which helps reduce your carbon footprint and makes it a more environmentally friendly choice.
