Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How does the FSC certification affect the tube’s durability compared to non-certified paper tubes?
The FSC certification ensures that the raw paper fiber comes from responsibly managed forests that meet environmental, social, and economic standards. While FSC-certified paper can be made from virgin or recycled fibers, the tube’s hardness and strength depend on the number of layers and the paper grade selected. paperboxify uses high-density paperboard that matches the durability of non-certified alternatives. In fact, FSC tubes often perform better in moisture resistance tests because manufacturers follow stricter quality controls. The certification does not reduce structural integrity; instead, it guarantees that the packaging contributes to forest conservation without sacrificing protective performance.
Q2: Can the maroon color be matched exactly to my brand’s Pantone shade?
Yes, paperboxify supports Pantone color matching for both the exterior paper and applied labels. During the sample design phase, the team produces a physical swatch under standardized lighting to verify accuracy. The deep maroon base is a popular starting point, but you can request hue adjustments from burgundy to reddish-brown. The printing techniques available—offset, screen, digital, and letterpress—each render color slightly differently; our experts will recommend the method that best reproduces your brand’s specific tone on the chosen material. A proof is always sent for approval before production begins.
Q3: Are these tubes suitable for liquid or oily products like sauces or lotions?
Standard paper tubes are not designed for direct contact with liquids or oils unless the interior is lined with a barrier material. paperboxify offers options such as an EVA foam or blister insert that can hold sealed containers (e.g., glass bottles or sachets). For solid oily items like soap bars, a flocking or pearl cotton liner can absorb minor moisture while keeping the tube dry from the inside. If you intend to package liquid products, we recommend using a secondary inner container (like a tin or plastic bottle) placed inside the tube. The cylinder shape provides stable support, and the maroon exterior stays pristine as long as the liner creates a leak-proof barrier. We can also apply a water-resistant coating to the inner wall upon request.
