Cardboard Tea Tube

The China Cardboard Tea Tube supplied by Yiya manufacturer has excellent moisture-proof and sealing properties. It is lightweight and easy to handle during large-scale packaging and transportation, as it is not prone to deformation even under pressure. Whether it is used for batch filling by tea enterprises from Zhangjiajie or customized packaging for niche health tea brands, it can balance the appearance quality, protection performance and cost advantage.

Product details

The base material of the tube body is high-strength white card paper. The tube is cut and formed as a single piece. The tube wall is thick and round, and it won't collapse or deform when placed vertically. The tube surface supports four-color high-definition offset printing, which can fully reproduce the geometric weaving patterns, calligraphy fonts and origin information of ethnic minorities. The printed colors are firm, and there will be no ink fading or smudging problems when stored for a long time. It perfectly reproduces the folk style packaging effect of the Tujia ethnic group.

The upper and lower ports of the cardboard tea tube are equipped with matte bronze-colored metal caps. The caps fit tightly and can prevent external moisture and dust from entering the tube when closed. This effectively locks the aroma of the dry tea and prevents the tea from absorbing moisture and becoming soft. The edges of the metal cap have been rolled and polished, without burrs. Even after repeated opening and closing, it won't scratch the hand.

The tube interior is equipped with a black matte aluminum foil liner, which further blocks the penetration of water vapor and air. The double-layer protection is more suitable for long-term storage of dried leaf health teas like berry tea. The size of the paper tube can be freely adjusted. This finished product is suitable for 100 grams of dry tea filling and leaves sufficient space. After filling the tea, it won't overly squeeze the leaves.

The entire cardboard tube and metal cap combination is lightweight, and the shipping cost is lower after boxing. The cutting of the tube is neat, the roundness of the tube opening is uniform, and the automatic filling machine can also smoothly connect. No need for repeated manual adjustment of the tube opening.

Actual performance test

1. Stacking pressure resistance test

Stack six layers of Cardboard Tea Tube filled with dry tea vertically and leave it to stand for 72 hours. The tube body does not flatten or deform, and the tube wall remains straight. Even when stacked in a long-distance logistics vehicle, the tube body will not collapse.

2. Moisture-proof sealing test

After tightening the metal cover, place it in a constant temperature and humidity environment and leave it continuously for 30 days. The moisture content of the tea in the tube does not increase significantly, and the dry leaves remain dry and do not mold, reabsorb moisture or form lumps.

3. Printed durability test

Wipe the colored ethnic patterns and text on the tube body repeatedly with a damp cloth. The ink will not peel off or smudge. Even after outdoor storage for half a year, the patterns and colors remain bright.

4. Drop transportation test

The finished product is dropped freely from a height of half a meter multiple times. The tube body does not crack or peel, the metal cover does not loosen, and it can withstand the rough sorting in the courier transfer.

5. Opening and closing durability test

Repeat the twisting and opening of the metal cover 500 times. The cover still bites tightly and does not have problems such as slipping or improper closure. After long-term repeated use, the sealing performance remains stable.

FAQ

Q1: Can Cardboard Tea Tube only be made for a small sample run and then mass-produced?
A: Yes, we support small-scale sample production. First, we will finalize the printing pattern, check the color and the roundness of the tube opening, and confirm everything is correct before mass production to avoid color differences in the final product.

Q2: Can the metal lid be replaced with other colors such as silver or black?
A: The color of the lid can be freely chosen. We have sufficient stock of matte gold, matte black, and silver. We can also emboss the brand logo on the surface of the lid.

Q3: Can the inner layer of the paper tube not be lined with aluminum foil?
A: If it's only for short-term shipping, the inner lining can be removed; for long-term storage of tea, it is recommended to keep the aluminum foil layer to achieve better moisture-proof and fragrance-retaining effects.

Q4: Can this paper tube be matched with an automated tea filling machine?
A: The tube body is round and the size tolerance of the tube opening is very small. Most automatic filling machines can directly connect without the need for additional equipment modification.

Q5: Does the paper tube get damp and become soft easily?
A: The outer layer of the card paper has been treated with waterproof coating. In a regular storage environment, it will not absorb moisture and become soft; if it is in a high-humidity coastal environment, the waterproof coating version can be upgraded.

Q6: Besides the 100-gram specification, can other heights be customized?
A: The height and inner diameter can be adjusted as needed. From 50-gram small cans to 200-gram large capacity tea tubes, molds can be made for custom production to fit different net weights of tea products.
