Premium Spirits

Tubes have long been the premium drinks packaging choice in the traditional markets for Single Malt Whisky, Rum & Gin brands.

This trend has now expanded across many of the premium drinks markets including Tequila, Brandy, Mezcal and Vodka.

There is a recognition that displaying a premium drinks product in a tube adds value, enhances brand awareness and encourages purchase. The tube causes on shelf disruption and the additional decorative options available enables the tube to really stand out and reflect the brand.

Fully FSC® accredited, the Composite tubes strong and durable structure protects its contents across the supply chain, reducing breakages and damage to bottles.

Our cardboard tubes are available round or shaped and can be made bespoke to your requirements. Now also available, our 100% recyclable & sustainable tube under our Better Planet Packaging initiative; the Eco-Tube
