Gloss Lamination

Both matt and gloss laminations are extremely popular. Clients tend to choose gloss if they have a vibrant design consisting of small and intricate details/text and is helps preserve the quality of print and makes everything including the smallest details shine.

Our laminations provide enhanced durability, damage protection, improved appearance, with our printed cardboard tubes being easy to read. Lamination is reasonably priced and can actually save money by extending the life of print pieces and avoiding the need to reprint damaged ones.

Lid Decoration

Lid decorations don't have to be added but it can give your packaging that beautiful or even quirky and unique feel that represents your brand. Why not try adding our all time favourite iconic ribbon bow.

Lid decorations can also add to generating impulse purchases for retail packaging as they bring a unique shape and style that they might like the look of. They can bring that premium feel to a simplistic tube design.

Coated & Uncoated Paper

Coated Paper offers sharp results with a glossy look to finish. It provides a slicker look and offer an excellent ink holdout. It's surface works well with any finishing's such as laminations, foil stamping, spot UV, etc. Coated paper resists dirt and moisture and requires less ink to print as it is not absorbent.

Uncoated paper is a standard finish here at Luxury Tube Packaging. It is paper that has not had any final adhesive layer applied, it is just finished by being cut to size. It's appearance and properties are determined by the natural characteristics of the materials. It does lack a shiny finish that many coated papers possess however there are many benefits to choosing this option. If you are going for a more Eco-Tube then using uncoated paper is the best option as it has no added coating making it 100% recyclable. The uncoated surface makes large amounts of text easier to read, write, engrave and print on. This paper helps images pop as the light reflects back through the ink.

Cardboard Tubes

Cardboard tubes is the most recognised type of tubes that are completely eco-friendly and a fully recyclable material option. This is our most used high-quality tube option as it creates a rustic look with untreated material.

Cardboard can be used with any of our finishing's or added extras. It is a safe and thick material option, which is highly recommended for any heavy items clients may want to place inside.

Kraft Paper

Kraft Paper is an option that helps both you and us become more eco-friendly in the process. Kraft Tubes have more strength and paper material feature of Kraft paper, it is more protective and moisture resistant.

Brown Kraft Paper is commonly seen on cardboard tubes, both inside and out. It can give you an antique look or feeling with any added extra's/finishing's available apart from a lamination due to its surface.

Metal and Plastic Caps

Metal caps are a popular choice, especially with our Single Tubes, and are available in three colours; gold, silver and black. These caps can be personalised with printed logo's including an embossed/debossed logo option.

Metal caps do vary in size and can be placed at either the top or bottom of your branded tubes. Metal caps do have a large MOQ and with these, you have to keep in consideration that the diameter of them are only in certain sizes so you do have a limited diameter. Your tubes diameter will have to go off of the metal cap sizes we can offer. Magellan can assist you if you need help deciding on sizes or materials.

Plastic Caps do also come in a large MOQ like our metal caps. There are cost savings when choosing this particular cap as this is more readily available and easier for suppliers to work with.

We do have a wider range of colours for these, eith our most popular colour being white. The caps can be printed with your design or logo. Contact us to design your presentation tubes today!

Paper Caps  (Rolled/Unrolled Ends)

Our Paper Caps are made from the same material as our cardboard tubes with it being our most popular option of caps out of the three. They are our most eco-friendly option providing a natural, rustic look.

With these caps you have two choices, either to have rolled ends or unrolled ends. As you can see in the picture opposite, our rolled ends create a more smooth and aesthetically pleasing look that can also be printed on. This option also provides more protection as it helps to stop the paper from peeling and gives a better durable finish. Our unrolled ends are a cheaper option but does not give the same protection as our rolled end tubes do.
