Custom paper tube boxes have become a preferred packaging solution across industries like cosmetics, food, apparel, and eco-conscious retail. Their durable construction, sustainability, and visual appeal make them an excellent alternative to traditional boxes. But did you know that not all paper tube boxes are built the same?
At DHP Factory, we specialize in designing and manufacturing high-end custom paper tube boxes tailored to our clients’ product needs and branding goals. This article explores the key structural types of paper tube packaging to help you find the right fit for your next packaging project.

2. Two-Piece Telescopic Tube(Roll & Flat Edge)
