Balsa Butted Tubes

Balsa, a business founded in Australia and now based in Surrey, was established in 2016. Born out of a passion for whole foods and understanding the human body, the company has evolved to curate handcrafted recipes.

Balsa specialises in natural sweet balls, utilising the power of plants to provide energy and nutrients, all while delivering an exceptional taste experience. Their offerings include three flavours: Chocolate Brownie, Salted Caramel, and Pistachio Matcha. To complement their products, Balsa sought uniquely printed butted tubes designed to perfectly fit their Balsa Balls.

The Balsa Ball tubes are designed with food safety in mind, featuring a grease-proof lining and black internal caps to ensure the contents remain securely sealed inside. Additionally, the tubes are constructed with butted ends and rolled edges for added durability.

With internal dimensions measuring 205mm in height and 43mm in diameter, and external dimensions of 215mm in height and 47mm in diameter, these custom tubes provide ample space for various food items. The lids have a height of 44mm, further enhancing the security of the contents.

Printed Spigot

The printing process utilised CYMK colours and was complemented by a matt laminated finish. Similarly, the spigot was also adorned with a CYMK print, strategically exposed to create a vibrant contrast against the predominantly black background.

Furthermore, the spigot was internally rolled, enhancing its overall aesthetics. The final outcome was truly impressive; we were particularly captivated by the striking interplay between the elegant black base and the vivid bursts of colour meticulously applied throughout.

Specifications:
- Spigot diameter: 52mm
- Exposed spigot length: 8mm

The Benefits of Food Grade Safe Tubes for Business Packaging

food-grade-tubes

In the competitive world of business, packaging plays a crucial role in capturing consumer attention and ensuring product safety. When it comes to packaging food products, using food grade safe tubes has become a popular choice among businesses. These tubes provide numerous advantages over other packaging options, making them a preferred solution for companies aiming to deliver high-quality products while maintaining safety standards. In this article, we will explore the reasons why businesses are increasingly turning to food grade safe tubes for their packaging needs.

 

1. Preserving Food Quality and Safety:

The primary concern when packaging food products is to ensure their freshness and safety. Food grade safe tubes are specifically designed to maintain the integrity of the contents inside. These tubes are made from materials that are safe for contact with food, preventing any contamination or chemical leaching. They are often constructed from high-quality plastics or metals that are resistant to corrosion, maintaining the purity and taste of the food while minimizing the risk of spoilage.

2. Protection from External Factors:

Food grade safe tubes provide excellent protection against external factors such as moisture, oxygen, light, and temperature changes. These tubes are typically airtight, preventing the entry of oxygen and moisture, which can lead to food degradation and spoilage. Additionally, they offer superior light-blocking properties, safeguarding light-sensitive food products from UV radiation, which can cause nutrient loss and flavour deterioration. Furthermore, food grade safe tubes are often insulated, allowing for better temperature control during storage and transportation, ensuring the product remains in optimal condition.

3. Convenience and Portability:

Food grade safe tubes are designed with convenience and portability in mind. They are available in various sizes and shapes, allowing businesses to choose the most suitable option for their specific products. Tubes can be customized with caps, lids, or dispensing mechanisms, making them easy to open, close, and pour. This user-friendly design not only enhances the customer experience but also facilitates efficient storage, handling, and transportation for businesses.

4. Branding and Marketing Opportunities:

Packaging serves as an essential tool for branding and marketing efforts. Food grade safe tubes offer ample space for businesses to showcase their brand identity through attractive labeling, graphics, and logos. The visual appeal of these tubes can significantly influence consumer perception and purchasing decisions. Moreover, the durability and reusability of food grade safe tubes can extend their lifespan beyond the initial use, allowing customers to associate the brand with sustainability and environmental consciousness.

 

Food grade safe tubes have emerged as a preferred packaging choice for businesses operating in the food industry. Their ability to preserve food quality and safety, protect against external factors, offer convenience and portability, provide branding opportunities, and comply with regulatory standards make them an ideal solution. As businesses strive to meet consumer expectations for high-quality products, choosing food grade safe tubes ensures that both the product and the brand are protected, setting the stage for success in a competitive market.
