Wholesale Trends in Eco-Friendly Paper Tube Packaging for 2025

Hey there! If you're in the wholesale packaging game, you know eco-friendly isn't just a buzzword anymore – it's what customers expect. And paper tubes? They're having a serious moment. Made mostly from recycled cardboard or sustainable wood pulp, they're strong, versatile, and actually break down naturally. Perfect for brands wanting to do better.

Looking ahead to 2025, here are the changes that are taking place in the wholesale paper tube industry that you may want to know about:

Made Just for You (Even in Bulk): Remember when wholesale meant boring, standard sizes? Not anymore. Brands now want tubes that scream their identity right off the shelf. That means wholesalers are stepping up, offering tons of ways to customize: different lengths and widths, thicker or thinner walls, and killer printing – think fancy metallics, soft-touch finishes, or your wildest design. The best part? You can get all this uniqueness without losing the cost-saving power of bulk buying. Tubepaper understands this perfectly - we make it easy for our customers to order large quantities of customized paper tube packaging.

Keeping the contents of your pipes safe is key, but old-fashioned plastic liners? Not so environmentally friendly. the big trend for 2025 is to use better, more environmentally friendly liners. Liners made from corn or sugar cane, for example, resist moisture and grease, and can be composted or recycled along with the hose. Or maybe a recyclable coating that really protects items like powders, snacks or gadgets. We often allow you to use a thinner liner layer, which reduces weight. Working with us helps wholesalers offer these lighter, higher-performance tubes, which reduces costs for everyone.

Everyone wants to save on shipping costs and be kinder to the planet. The trend is to design tubes that use less material without being flimsy.Tubepaper has a smarter design that utilizes technology to design the strongest shapes with the least amount of cardboard. Strategically mixing recycled and new fibers, adding strength only where it's needed to meet your needs.
