Can you design artwork for squeeze tubes?

Yes, to your tube supplier's template.

How do you handle the seam on a tube?

We place the seam on the back and keep important elements away from it.

How long does tube packaging design take?

First concepts usually arrive within 48 hours of an agreed brief. The full timeline depends on revision rounds and is set in your quote.

Can you also print and make it?

Yes. We design with our own factory's board, presses and finishes in mind, and can make rigid and printed boxes from 500 units. The design fee is credited when we manufacture your order.

What do I need to send to start?

Your product details or dimensions, your logo and brand files if you have them, a few references you like, and where the packaging will be sold.

Tube packaging design for squeeze tubes and tube boxes

Tube Packaging Design is the design of squeeze tubes and rigid tube boxes. Tubes cover two formats: squeeze tubes for creams and gels, and rigid paper tubes for gifts and bottles. We design artwork for both, wrapping cleanly around the cylinder.

Good to know

What this category needs

Squeeze tubes have a seal at the end and a seam; we keep key text clear of both.
Rigid tubes wrap 360°, so the design should work from any angle.
Tube boxes suit bottles, candles, tea and rolled products.
