Single Printed Tubes – One-Piece Luxury Cardboard Tube Packaging

Our single printed tubes are one of the most refined formats in luxury cardboard packaging — offering strength, minimalism, and brand impact in a seamless design. These one-piece cardboard tubes are constructed as a continuous rigid body, with no glued-on base or separate sidewalls. Whether you’re packaging wine, gin, perfume, cosmetics, rolled art prints or gift items, this format creates a sleek, uninterrupted appearance that communicates quality and craftsmanship from the first glance.

As one of the UK’s leading suppliers of luxury cardboard tubes, we produce custom one-piece designs with a wide range of finishing options and lid styles. These tubes are especially popular in the drinks, fragrance, beauty, and creative industries, where packaging must be as premium as the product itself. The rigid construction ensures protection during shipping, storage, and retail display — while the smooth cylindrical body allows for powerful branding and flawless print execution.

Customisation Options – Lids, Finishes & Full Branding

Each custom one-piece cardboard tube is made to order, giving you full creative freedom to tailor your packaging to your product and audience. We wrap the rigid tube body in high-quality paper stocks, available in uncoated, textured, soft-touch, or laminated finishes. You can apply full CMYK or Pantone-matched printing, along with foil stamping, embossing, debossing, spot UV, or even holographic effects for standout branding.

Just as important as the tube body are the cap choices, which provide both function and finishing touch:

  • Metal lid cover cardboard tubes – Elegant and sturdy, these feature silver, gold or black aluminium end caps. Ideal for luxury drinks packaging and high-end fragrance tubes, with optional logo embossing or debossing.
  • Plastic lid cover cardboard tubes – Lightweight, practical, and colour-customisable. A cost-effective solution for brands needing broad colour options at higher volumes.
  • Cardboard lids one piece tubes – Fully recyclable and plastic-free, perfect for eco-conscious packaging. Offers a natural finish without compromising on performance.

All our lids are precision-fitted and available in a variety of diameters. Whether you’re building tubes for limited editions, gifting, or subscription lines, our team ensures the right cap complements your design and supports your functionality goals.

Applications for Single Printed Cardboard Tubes

Our single printed tubes and metal lid cover cardboard tubes are used across industries where presentation, protection, and longevity matter most. In the luxury drinks sector, they provide rigid protection for spirits, wine, or liqueur bottles — while reinforcing shelf presence and brand value. In beauty and cosmetics, they create a premium unboxing moment for perfumes, creams, or limited-edition sets.

In the art and design space, these tubes are trusted to protect rolled artwork and prints during shipping, especially when strength and presentation both count. And for premium gifting or direct-to-consumer brands, this style offers a memorable, reusable packaging solution that customers are likely to keep and share.

From plastic lid cover cardboard tubes for large promotional runs to metal-capped tubes for boutique retail products, this packaging format adapts to fit your product story — all while elevating perception and adding shelf appeal.

Golf & Co – Luxury Fragrance Tubes with Embossed Metal Lids

High-end fragrance brand Golf & Co partnered with us to elevate the presentation of their signature scent range using custom single printed tubes with a refined metal lid finish. The initial project included 865 tubes for their Orange Blossom, Fig, and Iris & Bergamot fragrances — each housed in a sleek one-piece cardboard tube topped with silver aluminium lids. The metal caps featured a clean, debossed logo in a monochrome finish, delivering both elegance and tactile appeal.

As their product range grew, Golf & Co returned to develop additional tube sizes to match varying bottle formats and scent lines. By retaining their signature metal lid cover cardboard tube format across every order, they ensured brand consistency while adapting to new product demands. The result is a premium, cohesive packaging solution that helps their products stand out in a crowded luxury market — from shelf display to direct customer delivery.

Sophie Tea Art – Branded Cardboard Tubes for Global Art Shipping

Internationally renowned artist Sophie Tea came to us with a unique challenge: to create strong, branded packaging that could protect her one-of-a-kind artworks during global shipment — without compromising on creativity or customer experience. The solution? A series of fully bespoke custom one-piece cardboard tubes, designed for both strength and style.

We produced three tube sizes to accommodate her diverse print dimensions, each wrapped in high-quality printed stock and finished with a holographic logo that reflected Sophie’s vibrant brand aesthetic. For added visual detail and luxury feel, we embossed her logo into the silver metal lids, transforming functional closures into part of the artistic experience.

More than just packaging, these tubes became an extension of Sophie’s creative identity — durable enough for international delivery, and beautiful enough for customers to display or reuse. A perfect example of how metal lid cover cardboard tubes can combine protection, presentation, and personality.
