Paper tubes for cosmetics are rigid cylindrical containers made from wound kraft or white paperboard, used for lip balm, deodorant, bath salts, powders, and solid cosmetics that suit a plastic free package. We make them with no minimum order quantity, so an indie beauty brand can order 100 and a growing line can order tens of thousands, at a per tube price we will quote against your current supplier.
The build is a spiral or straight wound paper wall with a fitted paper or metal cap, and the wall thickness sets how premium it feels. For push up cosmetics like balms and deodorants we add a paperboard or biodegradable twist mechanism, while for powders and salts we use a shaker or a plain lid. Standard diameters run from about 1 inch for balm up to 3 inches or more for bath products, in heights you specify. Print goes on a wrap label or directly on the tube, with matte, gloss, soft touch, or a natural kraft look, plus foil and embossing for a premium finish.
Brands move to paper tubes for the sustainability story and the shelf differentiation, because a plastic free cosmetic reads better to a lot of buyers now. We help you match the mechanism and liner to the formula so an oily balm does not soak the wall, and we quote finishes on the same order. Send your fill and the format you want and we will spec the tube and a free proof. If you have a competing quote, send it and we will try to beat it.
Paper Tubes for Cosmetics Questions, Answered
Are paper tubes suitable for oily balms?
Yes, with the right liner. We add a moisture resistant inner liner or a compatible push up mechanism so an oily formula does not soak into the paper wall. Tell us the formula and we will spec it.
What is the minimum order?
There is none. Start with 100 tubes to test and reorder at a lower per unit price as your line grows.
What sizes do you offer?
Diameters from about 1 inch for balm up to 3 inches or more for bath products, in the height you specify. We build to your fill volume.
Do you beat competitor pricing?
Send a comparable spec and quote and we will match or beat it where we can. That is what our name is about.
