Cosmetic Paper Tubes are custom-printed paperboard cylinders with metal or paper ends, made for beauty brands packaging balms, bath products, powders, and lip items in a recyclable, plastic-free format. Each tube is built to your fill and printed full-color around the body.

A rigid paper tube with a snug end cap gives a single product a standout cylindrical shape on the shelf and a 360-degree printable surface for branding and directions. Cosmetic brands use these for lip balm and stick formats, bath salts and fizzers, powdered masks, and gift sets that move away from plastic.

Materials & Specifications

  • Material: Paperboard tube with metal or paper ends
  • Printing: Full-color CMYK wrapped around the tube body
  • Body finish: Matte or gloss lamination
  • FSC option: FSC-certified paper available

Best Used For

  • Lip balm, lip color, and stick formats

Printing & Finishing

Wrap your Cosmetic Paper Tubes in matte or gloss lamination for the body feel you want, add foil stamping for a metallic logo, spot UV for a glossy accent, or emboss for a raised brand mark. Metal or paper ends let you match the cap to your product.
