The Bio Degradable Round Base Paper Mailing Tube with End Cap stands as a pioneering sustainable packaging solution tailored for eco-conscious businesses and environmentally aware consumers. Crafted from 100% biodegradable kraft paper sourced from responsibly managed forests, this tube eliminates the environmental harm caused by traditional plastic packaging. Its round base design not only ensures exceptional stability during transit—reducing tilt-related damage by up to 40% compared to flat-base alternatives—but also optimizes storage efficiency in warehouses. The fitted end caps, available in PE paper, glassine paper, or PLA-coated material, form a secure seal that blocks 99% of dust and moisture intrusion, safeguarding contents in diverse climatic conditions. Beyond basic functionality, this tube meets ASTM D6400 and EN 13432 standards for industrial compostability, breaking down completely within 180 days in commercial facilities, and leaves zero toxic residues, making it a cornerstone of circular economy practices.

Moisture Resistance: 12-hour water exposure without structural degradation (with PLA coating)
Eco-Friendly Materials
Every component—from the kraft paper tube to the end caps—is fully biodegradable and recyclable, cutting landfill waste by 70% compared to plastic alternatives. Its production process reduces carbon emissions by 55% and consumes 60% less water than conventional plastic tube manufacturing.
Secure Closure System
The precision-engineered end caps create an airtight seal that prevents contents from shifting during transit, reducing damage rates by up to 35%. For heavier items, optional MDF end caps add 40% more durability, while anti-slip ridges on cap exteriors prevent accidental opening.
Customizable Design
Flexible branding options include full-wrap printing, spot UV logos, and metallic foil stamping, ensuring alignment with brand identity. Size variations accommodate everything from small posters (53 mm diameter) to large architectural plans (126 mm diameter), with bulk order discounts for custom dimensions.
Cost-Effective Shipping
Lightweight construction (30% lighter than plastic tubes) lowers postage costs by 15–20% on average, while compliance with major courier guidelines for cylindrical packages avoids surcharges. Its stackable design also maximizes shipping container utilization by 25%.
Art & Photography: Safely ships rolled canvases, limited-edition prints, and blueprints, with acid-free options preserving artwork for 50+ years.
Food Packaging: Transports bakery items, organic snacks, and gourmet coffee (with food-grade liners) while maintaining freshness for 7+ days.
E-Commerce: Replaces plastic mailers for lightweight apparel, accessories, and beauty products, enhancing unboxing experiences with branded designs.
Event Planning: Distributes conference brochures, wedding invitations, and promotional banners, with moisture-resistant variants ideal for outdoor events.
Q: Is this tube suitable for international shipping?
A: Yes. Its compact design complies with USPS, Royal Mail, and China Post regulations, while biodegradable materials meet EU and FDA sustainability standards, avoiding customs delays.
Q: Can the end caps be recycled?
A: Yes. PE/PLA-coated caps are recyclable in industrial facilities, and kraft paper components are accepted in standard curbside recycling programs—reducing overall waste by 90% versus plastic caps.
Q: How long does it take to decompose?
A: Under commercial composting conditions (ASTM D6400), it fully biodegrades within 180 days. In home composting, decomposition takes 240–300 days depending on moisture levels.
Q: Can I print my logo on the tube?
A: Yes. We offer offset printing with CMYK or Pantone colors, plus custom embossing, foil stamping, or matte lamination for premium branding. Minimum order for custom printing is 500 units.
Q: What is the maximum weight capacity?
A: Standard 3 mm walls support up to 5 kg (ideal for apparel/prints), while 6 mm walls handle 10 kg (suitable for tools/small hardware). Reinforced 8 mm options (custom order) hold up to 15 kg.
