Custom Tube Packaging for Tea or Coffee Gift Pack 3D Mock-up
A biodegradable cardboard cylinder built for loose leaf tea and coffee, offered as a kraft body with food-grade PE lining at 65mm diameter x 120mm height, or as a rigid cardboard body with aluminium foil lining at 70mm diameter x 150mm height. The first is a matte or glossy CMYK build, the second a soft-touch finish with embossing for gift packs. Tea houses, coffee roasters and gift packers order from 500 pcs and review a 3D mock-up before tooling is cut.
What This Product Gives You
- Two ready costed builds, one basic and one luxury, let you quote a retail line and a gift line without two separate development cycles
- Food-grade PE lining keeps a paper body in contact with loose leaf without tainting the brew
- Aluminium foil lining on the luxury build protects aroma in a pack that sits on shelf through a gift season
- A 3D mock-up settles proportions before tooling, which is where most late change costs land
- Cylinders at 65mm and 70mm diameter hold fills from 25g up to 500g depending on height
- A biodegradable cardboard body meets the sustainability question that tea and coffee buyers now ask first
Where It Is Used and Who Buys It
Application Scenarios
- Loose leaf tea retail cylinders and seasonal gift packs
- Single origin coffee bean retail containers
- Herbal tea and infusion ranges
- Wine bottle gift tubes for long cylinder presentations
- Cafe and roastery merchandise and hamper components
Who It Is For
- Tea houses and blenders packing retail and gift ranges
- Coffee roasters sourcing a paper alternative to foil bags
- Gift and hamper assemblers buying per season
- Speciality food retailers running a private label range
- Export distributors for tea and coffee brands
What Goes Wrong Without It
- An unlined paper tube lets oils from coffee and tea mark through the printed face
- Foil bags cannot stand on a gift shelf and look thin next to a rigid cylinder
- Proportions look right on a flat artwork sheet and wrong once the tube is wound, which is only caught by a mock-up
- Quoting a gift pack and a retail pack separately doubles development time for one product range
- A pack sized for 500g looks half empty when it is filled with 25g of a light leaf tea

Materials and Manufacturing Process
Materials
- Kraft paper
- Rigid cardboard
- Food-grade PE lining
- Aluminium foil lining
Manufacturing Process
- 3D mock-up and structural approval

- Inspection against the approved mock-up and packing
How This Job Is Checked
- 3D mock-up approved in writing before tooling is cut
- Artwork preflighted for design discrepancies ahead of imposition
- Formed tube measured against the drawing within the 2mm tolerance
- Lining checked for full coverage and clean seams on every piece
- Photographs of the finished goods issued for approval before shipment
What You Can Change
- Choice of food-grade PE lining or aluminium foil lining
- Diameter and height adjusted from the 65mm x 120mm or 70mm x 150mm baselines

Compared With the Alternatives
| Alternative | How This Compares |
|---|---|
| Foil-lined coffee bag with a valve | The cylinder stands unaided and presents as a gift, while a valved bag is better for freshly roasted beans that still degas |
| Tinplate tea caddy | Cardboard is lighter and biodegradable, though a tin takes far more handling before it dents |
| Glass jar | A tube shields the contents from light and costs less to ship, but glass lets the customer see the leaf |
Getting the Best Result
- Confirm the fill weight between 25g and 500g so the height is chosen rather than assumed
- Pick the PE lining for everyday retail and the foil lining where aroma has to survive a long shelf life
- Approve the 3D mock-up before signing off artwork, since tube proportions change how a design reads
- Allow the 2mm tolerance when designing a sleeve, tray or gift box around the tube
- Send artwork as PDF, AI, PSD or JPEG at 300dpi minimum with fonts outlined
- Fill and close in a dry area so the lining seal is not compromised

What is the minimum order?
500 pcs on the standard builds. Larger runs are priced on confirmed quantity and regular clients receive VIP pricing scaled to annual order value.
Which lining should I choose for coffee?
Food-grade PE lining covers everyday retail. Aluminium foil lining is the choice where aroma has to hold through a long gift season.

What tolerance should I design to?
2mm on the formed tube. Allow for that if a sleeve or outer gift box has to fit around it.
