CORRUGATED PAPER TUBES

Corrugated paper tubes are very simple in construction and are used for holding bottles, glass jars, etc., protecting them from breakage during shipment in cases. There are several different styles of tubes as follows:

The single-face scored sheet is merely a square or oblong piece of single-face corrugated board, scored in three places in such a way that when folded and sealed at one corner a plain tube is formed.

The double-face scored sheet is made of double-face corrugated board, scored and folded in the same manner as a single-face scored sheet.

The single-face tube is the same as a single-face scored sheet, with the exception of being folded and stayed at one corner ready for the customer’s use.

The double-face tube is a double-face scored sheet, usually made with chipboard or strawboard liners; scored, folded and joined together, ready for the customer’s use.

Double-Face Tube.

Round tubes, and those of odd shape, are made in the same way, of either single-face or double-face corrugated board. The round tubes require no scoring.

All scored sheets and complete tubes are delivered flat to the customer.
