The Daily Dose
A 63 mm food-grade tube with a friction-fit cap, matte wrap, and one-color foil mark.
Format sheet / Paper tubes / Rev. 2026.10
A cylinder with the tolerances of a technical component.
Paper tubes behave differently from folded boxes. Diameter, wall thickness, liner, and cap fit determine whether the pack feels precise or loose in the hand.

Structure
How the format is built.
We wind to your product envelope, print on the wrap before winding, and inspect diameter at the seam as well as 90 degrees from it.
Spiral-wound body
FSC paperboard is wound around a precision mandrel and wrapped with your printed sheet. Wall thickness is selected for the pack weight and barrier requirement.
Cap fit
Telescoping paper cap, friction-fit cap, or a windowed construction. We sample the fit at both ends of the diameter tolerance before approving production.
Product contact liner
Food-grade PE or PLA liner on the inner ply. For supplements, we confirm liner and adhesive compatibility against your fill material.
Seam control
The spiral seam is part of the visual system. Print registration is checked across the seam, not hidden behind a label.
Best for supplements, tea, coffee, wellness, candles. Send the product envelope and pack weight; we will confirm the board call before quoting.

Surface finishes
Finishing is quoted after the artwork and dieline are fixed. Foil, emboss, and spot UV each require their own tooling and registration check.
Hot foil stamping
Cap or body foil in tight radial register; fine text is possible on flat wraps before winding.
Spot UV
Selective gloss over matte wrap. Registration is checked against the seam position.
Emboss / deboss
Subtle relief on the wrap before winding; depth is limited by the paper and mandrel.
Matte / soft-touch lamination
Matte film for scuff protection; food-contact surfaces remain uncoated and specified separately.
Production terms
Dates in writing. No surprise tooling.
The quote separates unit cost, one-time tooling, sample cost, and freight. Production starts only after you sign the sample and proof.
