Custom Kraft Paper Tube Packaging – Premium Eco Friendly Cardboard Tubes

At Luxury Tube Packaging, we specialise in eco friendly paper tube packaging that helps brands reduce plastic waste, elevate presentation, and align with today’s demand for sustainable solutions. Our custom Kraft paper tubes are made using FSC-certified board, recyclable Kraft paper, and plant-based inks, delivering packaging that’s fully compostable, biodegradable, and 100% plastic-free by default.

Unlike standard packaging, our eco friendly cardboard tubes are designed to look premium, feel tactile, and perform in retail, e-commerce, or gifting environments. Whether you’re a beauty brand switching to plastic-free cosmetic packaging, a wellness company launching eco supplements, or a food or drinks brand looking for brown Kraft cardboard tubes, we offer full control over format, finish, and size — all with sustainability built into every step.

We manufacture all tubes in-house with low-waste processes, ensuring your packaging doesn’t just look good — it reflects your values, supports your ESG goals, and helps your products stand out responsibly.

Custom Printed Eco Tubes

What Makes Our Kraft Paper Tube Packaging Truly Sustainable?

Not all “eco” packaging is created equal. Our brown and white Kraft cardboard tubes are carefully engineered to be as planet-friendly as possible — while still meeting performance and branding needs.

Materials:

  • Uncoated Kraft paper (brown or white) sourced from FSC-certified forests
  • Recycled rigid cardboard cores to reduce raw material waste
  • Non-toxic adhesives and plant-based glues
  • Soy-based and water-based inks for safe, low-impact printing
  • Plastic-free wraps and coatings (no glossy laminate or film barriers)

Sustainability Features:

  • 100% recyclable, biodegradable, and home-compostable outer structure
  • Reusable tube formats for long-term product storage or gifting
  • Designed and produced in the UK to reduce carbon-intensive imports
  • Zero plastic by default – optional metal or cardboard lids available
  • Meets UK and EU Packaging Waste Directive and PPWD guidelines

From sourcing to disposal, every step of our sustainable tube packaging process is designed to minimise impact, support closed-loop recycling, and protect brand integrity in a shifting regulatory landscape.

ECO FRIENDLY TUBE PACKAGING & MATERIALS

Fully Customisable Tube Formats with Eco Integrity

All of our tube formats can be made fully eco friendly — including:

  • Butted Kraft tubes: Seamless one-piece tube with flush-fit lid
  • Telescopic cardboard tubes: Two-piece tube with a recyclable base and lid
  • Single-piece tubes: Solid tube body with optional metal, plastic, or cardboard caps — all recyclable

We use brown Kraft for a raw, earthy aesthetic and white Kraft for a cleaner, clinical look. Tubes can be printed in full CMYK or Pantone with soy inks, and elevated with embossing, debossing, or foil accents (done without plastic lamination). Our finishes are designed to support recyclability, so beauty doesn’t come at the cost of the environment.

Need a food-safe eco option? We offer greaseproof linings and non-toxic barrier coatings — ideal for snacks, supplements, teas, bath salts and more.

Today’s consumers actively seek brands that package responsibly. Eco-friendly packaging isn’t just a trend — it’s a competitive edge. Our eco tube packaging helps you:

  • Replace plastic tubs, pouches, and laminated boxes with biodegradable, compostable alternatives
  • Appeal to eco-aware Gen Z, millennial, and family-focused shoppers
  • Communicate your values directly through design and materials
  • Meet internal sustainability goals and carbon targets
  • Reduce overpackaging, microplastic risks, and landfill waste

We help brands deliver authentic sustainability — not greenwashing. From certified materials to low-carbon UK manufacturing, our packaging supports real change.

KALLA – Eco-Friendly Food Grade Tubes for Gut Health Supplements

Premium wellness brand KALLA partnered with us to create a range of eco friendly cardboard tubes that matched their clean, health-focused identity. As a company committed to sustainability and scientific integrity, KALLA needed packaging that was food-safe, fully recyclable, and adaptable across multiple SKUs.

We delivered a series of custom printed eco food tubes using white Kraft paper, lined with greaseproof interiors for direct food contact, and topped with recyclable metal end caps. The tubes were printed in vibrant Pantone colours using plant-based inks, offering both a crisp, clinical aesthetic and complete sustainability.

The result was sustainable tube packaging that balanced performance, compliance, and brand storytelling — helping KALLA reinforce its position as a leader in clean, conscious gut health innovation.

Coral Eyewear – Brown Kraft Paper Tubes for Sustainable Eyewear Packaging

Coral Eyewear, a pioneering brand known for eyewear made from recycled ocean plastics, approached us for eco friendly paper tube packaging that would reflect their environmental mission. The packaging needed to be just as responsible and forward-thinking as the product it contained.

We created custom butted tubes using uncoated brown Kraft paper, printed with soy-based inks and finished without lamination — ensuring the packaging was fully recyclable and plastic-free. The clean, raw aesthetic of the Kraft tube packaging mirrored the brand’s values while providing strong structural protection for eCommerce and retail display.

These printed cardboard tubes were more than just packaging — they became an extension of Coral Eyewear’s sustainability ethos, telling a visual story of environmental responsibility with every order shipped.
