Food Tube Packaging
Food-safe cardboard tubes for snacks and dry goods.
A food tube is a plastic-alternative for chips, nuts, and dry snacks: the rigid wall protects, the liner keeps food safe and fresh, and the lid reseals.
Print it full-color or keep it kraft.

“Our takeout boxes stopped leaking and started advertising. Grease-proof board plus one bold color on kraft — simple and it works.”
“Low minimums were the whole reason we tried them. 250 pouches to test a flavor, then 5,000 when it took off — same bag, same print, no drama.”
The canister that competes with the bag
Snacks default to bags because bags are cheap. Tubes exist because bags fail at three things: they crush their contents, they do not reseal well, and they disappear on a shelf of other bags. A rigid paper canister protects chips, cookies and delicate snacks from crushing, recloses with a proper lid so the last handful is as fresh as the first, and stands upright with a full-wrap print face, a different shape in a flat-bag aisle.
Food-safe construction
The wall is spiral-wound board with a food-grade liner matched to the contents: greaseproof for nuts and fried snacks, foil-faced where aroma and moisture barrier matter, as with coffee, cocoa and tea. Closures run from board lids to metal ends with plastic overcaps, the crisp-can format, and a peel-off foil membrane adds tamper evidence and a freshness seal at filling. Kraft and white faces both print full-color as a wrap.
Construction details for non-food goods live under paper tube containers and the premium end under cylindrical packaging.
Positioning and print
Tubes carry a gifting association bags never earn: a tube of cookies is a present, a bag of the same cookies is a snack. Brands price accordingly. The 360-degree print face takes full-color artwork with no fold lines through it, and the lid disc is a second brand surface. Stackability matters at retail, flat lids stack; domed overcaps do not, and we will flag the trade-off at spec time.
What diameters and heights are available?
From slim single-serve tubes to family-size canisters; we cut to your fill weight rather than forcing standard sizes. Send the product and target portions and we spec liner and dimensions together.
