How Are Paper Tubes Made?

Paper tubes, sometimes called paperboard tubes, are cylindrical tubes made from wood pulp-based paperboard, kraft paper, fiberboard, and paper-glue composite materials. Paper tubes are made using a fully automatic paper tube making machine. The paper layers are laminated or bonded together using adhesives. The wall thickness of the tube can vary depending on the number of layers wrapped during the manufacturing process. Paper tube manufacturers first used them for storage of items, as protective shells, and as cores to wrap various materials and textiles around them. Today’s paper tubes are very strong and can be used for a variety of applications as manufacturing and design technology has advanced.
