Why Custom Paper Tube Packaging Is One of the Most Sustainable Solutions

According to Ecological China website (Reprint United Nations data), global plastic consumption is estimated to exceed 500 million tons in 2024, with packaging accounting for 35%. Unfortunately, less than 8% of plastic is recycled. Therefore, more and more enterprises and brand customers are seeking sustainable packaging, and custom paper tube packaging are one of the best solutions.


1, What is customized paper tube packaging?

Customized paper tube packaging is a tube made of paper. Before the emergence of paper box machinery, luxury paper tubes were handmade using rod-shaped molds to roll adhesive paper into luxury paper tubes. Later, after the invention of paper tube machinery, the manufacturing of custom paper tube packaging became simple and could be rolled into luxury paper tubes by machines. The specifications of custom paper tube packaging also increased, and different sizes of luxury paper tubes required different molds to be installed on the machine. Custom paper tube packaging are widely used in industries such as wine, gifts, watches, and food packaging.

The materials for custom paper tube packaging include kraft paper, white cardboard, art paper, and other raw materials used for producing luxury paper tubes. Paper should be processed before production. Firstly, the raw material paper needs to be sprayed with a thin film to make it waterproof, oil resistant, and thermally adhesive, making it smooth and beautiful. Then, it is necessary to use a custom paper tube packaging longitudinal cutting and rewinding machine to slice and rewind the film coated paper into suitable sizes. Afterwards, different specifications of luxury paper tubes are manufactured by bonding, winding, and cutting on the paper tube machine. Then the paper tube was dried using a paper tube dryer, and the paper tube was basically made.

Custom paper tube packaging can demonstrate special advantages in use, and can be seen as a substitute for plastic, metal, glass, ceramic, and other packaging products during use. Compared to other products, custom paper tube packaging can demonstrate special advantages.

Custom paper tube packaging is easy to handle after use, and has waterproof and moisture-proof properties. It can show good insulation during use and is safe and reliable, especially suitable for use in food packaging. In addition, custom paper tube packaging has various shapes and structures, and the outer layer can be color printed, with good display effects. It is also lightweight, easy to recycle, convenient to use, and inexpensive.

 

2, Why is custom paper tube packaging environmentally friendly?

1). 100% recyclable and biodegradable.

If the material used for the custom paper tube packaging, white cardboard, or gray board paper

And with no film covering, water-based ink printing, and a pure paper structure for the lid and bottom, it is 100% recyclable and biodegradable.

2). Odorless. 

The main material of custom paper tube packaging is kraft paper, which is made of wood pulp and recycled paper. One of the main disadvantages of plastic packaging is its pungent odor, usually caused by chemical additives. Many people are concerned about this rubber smell, while luxury paper tubes, due to their natural ingredients, are odorless, making them the best choice for products such as food, cosmetics, and candles.

 

3). Reduce plastic usage

Many products now use plastic containers (plastic bottles, plastic tubes, plastic cans, plastic films, etc.). Custom paper tube packaging can directly replace these plastic containers (for example, the outer packaging of perfume plastic bottles is changed to luxury paper tubes, and the outer packaging of skin cream is changed from plastic boxes to luxury paper tubes with lining), so as to reduce the plastic consumption from the source. Contribute to our environmental protection.

4). Lower carbon emissions

The use of custom paper tube packaging can reduce carbon emissions, mainly because paper production is more energy-efficient and emits less than plastic. Plastic comes from petroleum and releases a large amount of carbon dioxide during the processes of extraction, refining, granulation, and molding; And luxury paper tubes often use recycled paper, which has lower carbon emissions from the raw materials themselves.

Secondly, the recycling rate of custom paper tube packaging is higher, and they can be recycled into new paper, thereby reducing the production of new raw materials and further reducing carbon emissions. In addition, luxury paper tubes can be designed to fit better according to product size, reducing additional plastic filling and transportation volume, and also lowering carbon emissions during transportation.

 

 

 

3, Industry Application of Custom Paper Tube Packaging: Environmental Trends Drive Demand Growth

Custom paper tube packaging is becoming the preferred packaging solution in multiple industries due to its environmental friendliness, recyclability, and design flexibility. Use custom paper tube packaging to keep food and beverages (such as tea, nuts, candies) dry and extend their shelf life; Cosmetics and perfume brands use it to enhance the appearance and texture, instead of plastic gift boxes; Electronic products and high-end gifts use customized lining to protect precision parts. At the same time, e-commerce and subscription box services favor the stacking stability and transportation tolerance of custom paper tube packaging, which can reduce the rate of damage. Environmental regulations and consumer preferences for sustainable products are driving companies to switch to renewable materials and reduce plastic usage. The ease of recycling and industrial composting characteristics of custom paper tube packaging meet the requirements of a circular economy. In addition, custom paper tube packaging can achieve brand differentiation through printing, hot stamping, die-cutting and other processes, meeting the dual needs of marketing and functionality. Overall, policy driven, cost optimized, and brand appeal have jointly promoted the application and market growth of custom paper tube packaging in more industries.

 

4, How to choose an environmentally friendly custom paper tube packaging packaging supplier?

High quality suppliers should have FSC certification. If the custom paper tube packaging is used in the food industry such as tea, coffee, snacks, etc., it also needs to pass food grade safety certification to ensure that the inner material meets hygiene standards and does not contain harmful substances. Professional suppliers should provide a variety of green material options, such as kraft paper, recycled paper, biodegradable paper, plant-based adhesives, etc Whether to provide free sampling is an important factor in evaluating the reliability of suppliers Suppliers who provide free samples usually have more confidence in their own quality and are more willing to establish long-term partnerships with customers. A reliable supplier must have strict quality control processes, including incoming inspection, production inspection, and finished product sampling, to ensure that each batch of products is consistent, aesthetically pleasing, and meets standards. Dongguan Precious Packaging Co., Ltd. meets the above conditions. Please contact us.

 

Conclusion: Custom paper tube packaging is an important step towards a sustainable packaging future

Custom paper tube packaging represents a big step towards a sustainable packaging future, as it simultaneously balances environmental benefits and commercial feasibility. Firstly, custom paper tube packaging are mainly made of renewable paper materials, with traceable sources and easy recycling or industrial composting, significantly reducing plastic pollution and landfill pressure. Secondly, modern paper tube packaging can meet the needs of food, cosmetics, electronics and other fields in terms of protective performance and aesthetics, and support high-quality printing and diversified surface processes, which is conducive to brand promotion. Furthermore, with the advancement of manufacturing technology and large-scale production, the cost advantage of custom paper tube packaging has gradually emerged, and the threshold for enterprise transformation has been lowered. Policy promotion and increased consumer preference for green products also provide strong impetus for custom paper tube packaging to replace traditional plastics. In short, custom paper tube packaging is not only a sustainable practice of technology and design, but also a practical and feasible path to reduce plastic waste, and an important foothold for enterprises to move towards a circular economy.
