To set up your own branded cup

Your menstrual cup packaging should ideally aid in destigmatizing how menstruation is currently talked about, and provide a premium unboxing experience for the customer. This is the first step towards making the product, and thereby your brand, more mainstream.  

Finding the menstrual cup packaging:

Paper tube packaging typically consists of a three-piece structure – the outer base, the inner neck and a top lid. The lid is mostly shorter than the outer base and protects the neck of the tube once the package is sealed.

Tube dimensions:

Due to cups having size mini, size A and size B types, the dimensions of the paper tube used for menstrual cup packaging will largely depend on the size of the menstrual cup you intend on selling. Customizable dimensions include the length of the paper tube, the diameter of the tube, and the thickness of the tube. Tube thickness usually ranges from 2mm to 12mm.

Why should you use paper tubes for menstrual cup packaging?  

As a brand, your commitment to quality can often be determined by simply looking at the packaging. It is important to make a lasting first impression with the customer.

· Durability 

Paper tubes are an excellent choice for menstrual cup packaging because they are durable and lightweight. They are also ergonomic, and far easier to hold than boxes. 

· Transportation 

 No matter where in the world you are shipping your menstrual cups, paper tubes will endure transportation and keep your product secure. They can be designed in several different thicknesses and shapes, according to your needs, and can also protect the menstrual cups from unfavorable weather conditions.

· Germ-proof 

The menstrual cup packaging you select has to protect the cup from external contamination, and this can be prevented by using a paper tube with a chemically inert lining.

· Cost-effective

Paper tubes are also extremely cost-efficient because manufacturing them is neither material-intensive nor labor-intensive. They can also be made using recycled paper, to reduce production costs even further, and help your brand be as sustainable as possible.  

. Edge treatment options: 

While you can have a paper tube with no rolling edge, it is usually recommended to have a rolled edge opening. This rolled edge will add to the overall finish of the product and will prevent the neck of the tube from getting chaffed while closing the tube. It will also prevent shaking during transportation.

· Lid material: 

Menstrual cup packaging using paper tubes can be customized with two lid types – cardboard lids and metal lids. Cardboard lids are recommended if you want a fully recyclable package. They can be left as plain Brown Kraft paper, or be printed using your company’s logo. They can also be finished with foil stamping or spot UV if you want a more premium look. Metal lids are not fully recyclable, but they will allow you to emboss or deboss your brand’s logo on the top.

· Handles:

You can also add a rope, ribbon, handle or tag to the paper tube, to make it easy for the customer to carry the package.

· Custom inserts: 

Custom inserts can be made using foam, to fit your menstrual cup packaging needs. These inserts can be used to provide additional padding to your products and provide maximum protection during transportation.

· International environmental management standards:

Your menstrual cup packaging can be made using Forest Stewardship Council  Your menstrual cup packaging can be made using  Forest Stewardship Council(FSC)certified paper, which will let your customers know that the packaging has been made using responsibly sourced wood fiber. Paper tube packaging can also be made using 100% pre and post-consumer waste, to decrease the amount of waste generated during production.
