Custom Food Grade Tube Box — Safe, Beautiful Packaging for Premium Edibles

Food products deserve packaging that protects both product integrity and consumer confidence. PackPro’s food grade tube boxes are manufactured with FDA-compliant, food-contact certified inner liners that prevent migration of inks, adhesives, or chipboard compounds into edible contents. The outer decorative layer carries full print and finish quality, while the inner food-contact surface uses only certified food-safe paper grades — giving brands the dual advantage of premium shelf appeal and genuine compliance documentation for retail, export, and regulatory audit requirements.

Product Specifications

Materials Available

Food grade tube bodies are constructed with a food-contact certified white kraft inner liner (FDA 21 CFR compliant) bonded to a structural chipboard core and outer decorative wrap. Inner liner paper options include standard white food-safe kraft, grease-resistant Glassine paper for fatty confectionery products, and moisture-barrier poly-coated kraft for humidity-sensitive teas and coffees. All adhesives used in food tube construction are food-safe certified and migration-tested.

Printing Methods

Outer decorative wraps are printed using water-based flexographic inks, UV-cured offset inks, or soy-based inks — all compliant with indirect food contact printing standards. Inner liner surfaces are left unprinted or printed only with food-safe water-based inks where interior branding is required. All inks and varnishes are tested to EU/FDA migration standards and certificates of compliance are provided with each production order for retail and import documentation.

Surface Finishes & Special Effects

• Soft-Touch Matte Lamination — applied to outer wrap only; food-contact inner liner remains uncoated and safe
• Gloss UV Lamination — outer surface gloss coating with no inner food-contact surface treatment
• Aqueous Matte Coating — water-based outer varnish that is safe and recyclable
• Hot Foil Stamping — outer wrap metallic logo or pattern stamping, compliant with outer-only finish requirements
• Spot UV Varnish — outer surface selective gloss on matte base for premium food brand visual hierarchy
• Aromatherapy Inner Liner — a food-safe scented liner paper infused with complementary botanical notes (vanilla, cocoa, citrus) that releases a gentle fragrance when the tube lid is removed, creating a multi-sensory first impression unique to premium confectionery and tea packaging

Interior Insert Options

Food grade interior fittings include food-safe Glassine paper liner rolls, compostable tissue paper wraps, grease-proof cardboard trays for chocolate and confectionery compartments, and food-safe EVA foam cradles for individual item presentation. Metal foil bags can be inserted inside the tube for additional moisture and oxygen barrier protection of teas, coffees, and humidity-sensitive products, while the outer tube provides structural and decorative presentation.
