 Kraft Wrapped Three Piece Telescoping Canister - Click to Enlarge Image Skeem Design, a company known for the manufacture of specialty candles and matches, recently turned to Custom Paper Tubes to create an eco-friendly packaging solution for their new line of roll-on perfumes. For this project, Custom Paper Tubes created a custom-sized, kraft-wrapped, three piece telescoping packaging tube. By applying their own labels and using the same sized canister for all six unique scents, Skeem reduced both their packaging and inventory costs. As an added bonus, our customer can now add additional flavors to their fragrance line without ordering a new run of pre-printed canisters.

 Hot Shots Cinnamon Candy The economics of small quantity, custom production is a challenge for every manufacturer, regardless of the industry. Custom Paper Tubes recognizes the importance of short-run, custom packaging projects. We serve customers of all sizes and are known for providing quantities from just a few hundred pieces to several million.

 A company selling Pink Himalayan Salt approached Custom Paper Tubes to design and manufacture a salt air inhaler. The application required a non-metal container with holes in the ends to allow air flow through a filter cartridge. Die charges for a paper mesh with small holes were prohibitive, leading our design team to suggest plastic netting material which was punched to match the container diameter. The finished product is a telescoping tube with an elegant, non-printed outer wrap that is filled with Himalayan salt. A mouthpiece is then added, allowing patients to inhale air channeled through salt for therapeutic benefits. Read the rest of this entry »

 Custom Paper Tubes has over 30 years of experience designing and manufacturing paper tube based specialty packaging solutions for a wide range of industries from cosmetics and personal care to food and POP displays. Although many of our customers associate Custom Paper Tubes with packaging, the uses for our cardboard tubes are as diverse as our customer base itself. This case study highlights just one of the non-packaging applications for cardboard tubes: storage.
The customer profiled in this case study is a wine connoisseur with a vast collection of wines from many of the world’s finest vineyards. This customer struggled to find standard wine racks to store unusual size wine bottles in his wine cellar because most racks are made to accommodate standard size 750 ml bottles. With minimal space required, paper tube based wine racks can accommodate virtually any size bottle from minis to magnums. Read the rest of this entry »
