A square box wastes space around a round product, and a candle jar rattles inside it. Custom cylinder rigid boxes fix that. They start as 1.2mm to 2mm greyboard rolled into a one-piece tube, wrapped in 128gsm printed art paper, then closed with a telescoping lid and a locked base disc that keeps the wall round under compression.
Candle makers and small-batch tea roasters order them most. Skip them if you need cartons that collapse flat for storage, because a rolled tube ships assembled and takes real shelf space.

Custom cylinder rigid boxes protect through wall stiffness, not padding. A 2mm greyboard tube resists radial crush far better than a folded carton, which matters when a pallet stacks six cartons high. The telescoping lid overlaps the body by 20mm to 30mm, so the closure holds without tape and shows tampering when the wrap tears. Printed art paper laminated to the tube keeps color flat and even across a curve, where cheap wrap shows seam shadow. Our rigid board material guide covers where 1.2mm stops working.
Rolled greyboard wall absorbs drop impact.
Aqueous coating resists humidity and condensation.
Radial crush strength under stacked pallets.
Torn wrap seam reveals tampering instantly.
Flat lids let tubes stack upright.
Foil logo reads across a retail shelf.
175 LPI offset holds gradient detail.
Edge-lined interior signals gift-grade presentation.
Five structures cover most cylinder orders. Short wide tubes suit candles. Tall narrow tubes suit spirits and posters.
We cut tooling to your product width and fill height rather than to a stock diameter.
We match Pantone Solid Coated within Delta E 2 on the wrap sheet.
Foil and spot UV sit on the lid face or run around the body.
Inserts come as die-cut EVA foam, corrugated rings, or a printed paperboard collar cut to your product diameter.
Custom Packaging Available: Building a matched range? Pair these with custom rigid boxes on the same wrap run.
Ordering takes three steps: send specs, approve a sample, confirm production.
Send diameter, height, quantity, board thickness, print files, and your in-hand date.
We ship a blank tube mockup and digital proof in three business days. You approve before wrap sheets print.
Production runs 12 to 15 business days. Revisions add two days.

Our structural team has built cylinder tooling for beauty and beverage brands for over a decade, so we catch diameter drift before wrap sheets print. In-house designers rebuild low-resolution artwork at no charge. Wholesale tiers start at 100 units, which lets a new label test two SKUs without warehousing 5,000 tubes. Every run uses 1.5mm board minimum with a press-side color check against your approved proof. Orbix Packaging assigns one account contact who answers the same day.

Need a diameter that is not on this list? Send your product width and fill height and we cut tooling to match.
Rigid boxes use 1.2mm to 2mm greyboard wrapped in printed paper and ship assembled. Cardboard cartons fold flat for storage and bend under the same load.
Greyboard chipboard forms the tube wall at 1.2mm to 2mm. A 128gsm to 157gsm C1S art paper or kraft wrap carries the print and finish.
Measure your product at its widest point and add 2mm clearance for the diameter, plus 5mm headroom under the lid. Send both numbers and we cut tooling.
One hundred units on digital print, 500 on offset. Digital suits sample runs and seasonal SKUs. Offset makes sense once you repeat the same artwork.
Twelve to 15 business days after proof approval. Rush runs finish in 8 to 9 days. Hand assembly on tubes adds time compared with folding cartons.
Offset litho at 175 LPI on the wrap sheet, digital for short runs, and screen printing for solid one-color kraft. Add foil, spot UV, or embossing after.
Yes. Die-cut EVA foam holds jars and bottles inside the tube. Corrugated rings work for lighter items and keep the pack recyclable in most curbside streams.
They protect on the shelf and inside a shipper, not as a mailer. Pack tubes in 32 ECT corrugated with a divider so lids stay seated.
Uncoated kraft or SBS wraps stay curbside recyclable. Lamination, foil, and PET windows block repulping, so pick aqueous coating when recyclability drives the spec.
