Taper Tubes for Tea

Description

Use this tea tube packaging reference to plan an outer container for sealed tea pouches, sachets or tins. Confirm the proposed tube profile on a dimensioned drawing; the product name alone does not establish a particular taper or manufacturing method.

Specify the profile and usable space

Provide the filled tea pack dimensions, quantity per tube and opening clearance. For a tapered design, mark the top and bottom diameters separately, along with the overall height and usable internal height. State where each diameter is measured and whether dimensions are internal or external.

Review how the pack enters and leaves the tube. The narrowest internal section, lid overlap and any insert all affect the usable space. Check these against a physical fit sample.

Define the tea-contact arrangement

Tell Eastpkg® whether the tube holds a sealed inner pack or will contact tea directly. Request documentation for each proposed food-contact component where relevant to the intended market. Agree the required barrier, closure and shelf-life assessment separately; a paper outer tube is not evidence of an airtight or waterproof package.

Check graphics, closure and sample details

• Identify the opening end, lid fit and removal clearance.
• Review artwork orientation, seam position and the visible area around the lid.
• Check the filled pack for movement and damage during the agreed handling assessment.
• Record the complete material construction, including liners, labels, adhesives and caps, before discussing disposal claims.

Ask for the proposed materials and finishes against your brief rather than assuming every option shown on other tube pages applies to this design. Keep the approved drawing and sample reference with the purchase specification.

Request a project-specific quotation

Compare paper tube formats and the tea packaging guide. Supply the drawing, tea pack size, quantity and destination so the quotation can identify tooling, sampling and packing requirements.

Request a packaging quote with your pack dimensions, order quantity, artwork and delivery destination. Eastpkg® will review the brief and confirm the proposed construction, minimum quantity, sample costs and production schedule for your project.
