Toilet Paper Tubes
Plain and printed cardboard tubes for paper products, crafts and packaging cores.
The cardboard tube inside a roll is a spiral-wound kraft core, and it is useful far beyond the bathroom, for crafts, classrooms, seed starters and packaging cores.
We supply them plain for craft and industrial use, or printed if the tube is part of a product.
- Spiral-wound kraft board, sturdy and consistent
- Plain for crafts and cores, printed for products
- Recyclable and compostable uncoated
- Standard roll sizes up to wider packaging cores
“Labels that survive a fridge, an ice bath, and a farmers market summer. We tested four suppliers; these were the only ones that did not lift.”
“The magnetic boxes are the nicest thing about our subscription, and I say that as the person who makes the product. Zero damage across 3,000 shipments.”
The most useful boring cylinder in the building
A spiral-wound paper tube is cheap, rigid, uniform and recyclable, which is why it shows up far beyond the bathroom: as winding cores for tape, film, textiles and paper converting; as seed-starting pots and craft stock in schools; as cable and document organizers; as protective sleeves and spacers inside industrial packaging. Buying them new and in bulk beats salvaging used ones on every axis that matters, cleanliness, dimensional consistency and honestly, price at volume.
Core-grade specifications
For converting and winding applications, the tube is an engineering component: inner diameter held to tight tolerance (1.5 and 3-inch cores are the industry standards), wall thickness matched to winding tension, and crush strength specified so a wound roll cannot ovalize its core. Craft and horticultural grades relax the tolerances and the price. Food-adjacent uses take a liner, covered under food tube packaging, and finished retail cylinders under paper tube containers.
Lengths cut to order from short collars to full-width textile cores.
Plain, printed or branded
Internal cores stay plain kraft. Printed tubes earn their cost where the tube is seen: subscription-box craft kits, eco-brand refill cores where the core itself carries the reorder message, and white-labeled converting for brands whose customers see the core when the roll runs out, a strangely effective, strangely cheap final brand impression.
What is the minimum order?
Bulk cases from a few hundred for stock sizes; custom diameters and printed runs from around a thousand. Send inner diameter, wall and length and we quote same-week.
