Kraft Tubes
Large, 85 g
Push-up style kraft tube designed for solid formulations such as deodorants, balms, or body bars.
Each tube holds approximately 85 g of product (capacity varies depending on the formulation) and is made with oil-resistant paper. The inside is lined with food-grade wax paper to create a clean, protective barrier, while the outer layer has a matte BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) lamination, giving a smooth, durable finish that helps resist moisture and scuffing while keeping the packaging recyclable and suitable for cosmetic use.
These tubes work best with oil-only recipes. When powders are added — as in deodorants — pushing the product up can be difficult once it cools. Warming the tube gently for a second or two in the microwave before use can help. Avoid forcing the base, as pushing too hard may cause the tube to come apart.
