Paper Tube Packaging for Nuts & Dried Fruit
Idehpack manufactures cylindrical paper tube packaging for nuts, pistachios, dates and dried fruit in Tehran — available in 8 standard diameters from 33 to 110 mm, with a metal lid or cap-style lid, an optional window, and full custom printing.
A paper tube (cardboard can) is a rigid cylindrical container with a paperboard body, closed with a metal lid or a cap-style lid. For nuts and dried fruit it offers three things a flexible pouch or folding carton cannot: protection from moisture, light and impact; a premium shelf presence; and a recyclable paper body. We produce it as a telescopic cardboard can or as a single paper tube with metal lid, printed with your brand.
What makes paper tubes a good fit for nuts and dried fruit
- Freshness and aroma: the thick paperboard wall and tight lid limit air and moisture, helping pistachios, almonds and dates keep their aroma until opened.
- Shelf impact: 360° printing on the body, with optional hot-foil (gold) stamping and matte or gloss lamination.
- Durable in transit: the cylindrical structure resists pressure and impact better than a folding box — useful for export shipments and corporate gift packs.
- Recyclable and reusable: a paper-based body for brands that want lower-impact packaging, and a container consumers tend to keep and reuse.
Choosing the right tube for your product
| Product | Main packaging concern | Suggested configuration |
|---|---|---|
| Pistachios (raw or salted) | Go stale quickly in open packs | Metal lid; windowed model for visible kernel quality |
| Almonds, cashews, hazelnuts | Light and oxygen make the oil turn rancid | Standard (non-windowed) body; medium diameters for retail, large for bulk |
| Walnuts | Absorb odors fast | Metal lid; large diameter and tall height for in-shell walnuts |
| Dates and dried figs | Sticky, easily crushed in soft packs | Rigid body with cap-style lid for repeated opening; multilingual print for export |
| Raisins, dried berries, small dried fruit | Buyers want to see color and quality | Windowed model with custom-printed body |
| Nut gift packs | Needs to look premium without an extra box | Telescopic can with gold foil and lamination |
For shelf display, see our windowed cardboard can and the 10-sided showcase paper tube.
