As times evolve, an increasing number of companies are seeking sustainable packaging solutions, with food packaging emerging as a key focus area. Eco-friendly, biodegradable paper tube packaging has thus gained prominence. So, which type of paper tube packaging is most suitable for food products?
When addressing this question, it's essential to consider that food packaging demands the highest standards of safety, sealing integrity, and moisture resistance from paper tube packaging. Taking these requirements into account, we recommend selecting paper tube with the following characteristics:
✅ Food-Grade Composite Paper Tube (Multi-Layer Composite Structure)
Material: Outer kraft paper layer + aluminum foil middle layer + food-grade PE inner liner
Advantages:
Moisture-proof, oxidation-proof, and light-proof, effectively extending food shelf life;
Strong sealing capability, compatible with easy-tear aluminum foil or aluminum caps, ideal for dry goods like potato chips, nuts, tea leaves, and milk powder;
Environmentally friendly and recyclable, aligning with green packaging trends;
Supports custom printing to enhance brand display appeal.
✅ Moisture-Resistant Thickened Wear-Resistant Paper Tube
Applications: Bulk dry goods such as rice, flour, and other dry foods;
Structure: Multi-layer kraft paper + waterproof coating + moisture-absorbing interlayer;
Advantages: Compression-resistant, moisture-proof, safe for transportation, suitable for long-term storage.
✅ High-Compression Food-Grade Paper Tube
Features: High rigidity, resistant to deformation, ideal for packaging heavy or fragile food items;
Optional liners: Food-grade aluminum foil or anti-adhesive paper to prevent food sticking or moisture absorption.
⚠️ Not Recommended:
Standard industrial paper tube (without food-grade certification);
Paper tube without inner lining or moisture barrier (prone to moisture absorption and contamination);
Paper tube using non-eco-friendly adhesives (may release harmful substances).
✅ Summary:
The most suitable paper tube for food packaging is the “food-grade composite paper tube,” which is particularly ideal for dry foods such as potato chips, tea leaves, and nuts. It offers three key advantages: freshness preservation, environmental friendliness, and aesthetic appeal.
