Butted Printed Tubes – Versatile Luxury Tube Packaging

Butted tubes are one of the most popular styles of custom tube packaging, offering a clean, professional appearance and adaptable design. As a trusted butted tubes company, we supply fully customisable options for a wide range of industries — including cosmetic tube packaging, candle box packaging, luxury drinks tubes, eco tubes, and food-grade packaging.

Made from three key components — a sturdy tube base, an internal spigot, and a top paper cap — butted tubes offer flexibility in both structure and branding. The paper cap can be designed with rolled or unrolled ends (rolled being the more premium option), and the cap length is adjustable to suit your needs.

All tubes are customisable in terms of diameter, height, material, and finish. Choose from uncoated paper, Kraft, or recyclable cardboard, then apply finishes such as matte or gloss lamination, foil stamping, embossing, and spot UV for a standout look. Uncoated paper remains a top choice for clients seeking luxury tube packaging with a natural, tactile finish.

EDEN Treats – Custom Drinks Tubes with Style and Strength

EDEN Treats, known for their premium plant-based liqueurs, partnered with us to create custom drinks tubes that were both protective and visually stunning. The product needed packaging strong enough to protect glass bottles during shipping, while reflecting the vibrant, modern feel of the EDEN brand.

We recommended butted tubes for their durability and presentation quality. To align with EDEN’s identity, we used vivid CMYK print on a smooth matt laminated surface, adding gold foil stamping to the logo for a striking contrast and upscale finish. The tube dimensions were tailored specifically for the bottle height and diameter, offering a snug fit and strong internal spigot support.

These printed cardboard tubes not only enhanced shelf appeal but also ensured product safety during transport, making them a standout example of luxury drinks packaging.

Walt Disney – Magical Tubes for a Timeless Brand

In celebration of Disney’s 50th anniversary, we collaborated on a unique project to create luxury printed tubes that embodied the whimsy and nostalgia of the brand. The goal was to deliver a keepsake experience — packaging that felt like part of the celebration itself.

Each custom tube box featured detailed CMYK printing with iconic Disney visuals, applied to premium uncoated paper for a tactile feel. Inside the tubes, guests would find a limited-edition glass bottle, a custom-printed invitation, and even miniature twinkling lights.

To make each invitation special, we used blind embossing, foil detailing, and an internally printed spigot to continue the theme inside. These butted tubes helped turn a simple invitation into a magical, multi-sensory experience — a perfect example of presentation packaging that tells a story.

For Legology’s Christmas collection, we created a packaging solution that reflected the brand’s refined, feminine identity while adding a festive seasonal twist. These cosmetic tube packaging designs needed to feel luxurious and gift-ready, complementing Legology’s skincare products.

The tubes’ strong construction made them ideal for retail display or e-commerce shipping, ensuring the high-end products inside were protected and beautifully presented. These designs struck the perfect balance between elegance, brand consistency, and seasonal excitement.

Coral Eyewear approached us seeking packaging that aligned with their mission: sustainability without compromise. We developed custom printed eco tubes that reflected their values while offering sleek, professional packaging for eyewear accessories.

The tubes were constructed from brown Kraft paper, known for its natural look and recyclability. We printed directly onto the material using soy-based inks, avoiding lamination to ensure 100% recyclability — a core requirement for Coral’s eco-focused image.

The exterior featured full CMYK printing over a dark base, finished with matt lamination for a clean, modern feel. The internally rolled spigot gave the tube a sturdy yet polished structure.

These food packaging tubes were the perfect fit — combining safety, brand aesthetics, and customer convenience in one sleek package.
