Paper Lipstick Tubes
A push-up mechanism built from wound board — the plastic stick, replaced.
Paper walls with a board push-up base give a fibre alternative to a moulded plastic case. Anything touching balm or wax carries a liner chosen for the formulation.
Every detail. Intentional.
A push-up base in board

Liners for the formulation
Balm and wax need the right contact layer.
Under an inch across

Design for rotation
The label wraps the circumference.
Plastic-free positioning
Which is why the format exists.
Ply count for handling
Pocket-carried, so it takes abuse.
Built like architecture.

Sizing & dieline.
Every Paper Lipstick Tubes is wound and cut to your product — not pulled off a shelf. Send us the diameter and height of the item (or the item itself) and we return a measured spec, free, before you commit to anything.
A cylinder needs two figures, not three: the diameter across its widest point, and the height. Measure the item itself, not the pack you happen to use today.
Allow 2–3 mm on the diameter so the product drops in without binding, and a few millimetres of headroom if a lid, pillow or tissue sits on top.
We quote round formats as Diameter × Height. Tell us whether you are working in millimetres or inches and we match it.
✦ Not sure of your size? Send us the product — we measure it and build the dieline.
Pricing & minimums.
Paper Lipstick Tubes is priced per specification rather than from a fixed list — the same box in two different finishes can land at very different numbers. Below is what actually moves the price, so you can shape the spec before you request a quote.
The single biggest lever. Unit cost falls sharply as volume rises, because setup and tooling spread across more pieces.
Board weight and stock choice change both the raw material cost and the shipping weight of the finished run.
Foil, spot UV, embossing and soft-touch each add a pass on press. One or two lift the box; five compound the cost.
Full-bleed print inside and out costs more than a one-sided design on natural stock.
Foam, moulded pulp, velvet pillows, magnets and ribbon are priced per piece on top of the box itself.
Standard production is the base rate. Rush moves you up the production queue and carries a surcharge.
