1. Introduction

Paper tube gift boxes, also called cylinder packaging, are a trendy packaging choice for global beauty, candle, food and stationery brands. Different from regular square cartons, this round-shaped box has a unique unboxing look. Every part including paper material, printing and inner holder can be fully customized. It works well for small startup brands and large retail chains alike. This guide breaks down all factory & trading terms in easy-to-understand words.

3. Inner Insert Custom holder inside the tube, made of foam, cardboard or satin fabric. It locks products firmly and avoids collision in transit.

4. Wrapping Art Paper Decorative paper covering the outer tube. We can print logos, patterns and brand slogans on its surface.
