A cake paper tube is a 3-piece cylindrical paper container — a tube body, a flat top lid cap, and a flat bottom cap — built for individual-portion cakes, mousse, and baked desserts. Hallpack's version pairs a kraft paper structural core with a special decorative paper exterior and a grease-proof baking paper liner, giving bakery brands a food-safe container with a full 360° print surface. It's available in 8 standard sizes from 50 ml to 750 ml, with full custom printing and OEM/ODM support.

What Is a Cake Paper Tube Used For?

A cake paper tube is designed to hold and display individual-portion desserts — cupcakes, mousse cups, cheesecake bites, tiramisu, and celebration-size cakes — while doubling as the baking mold itself. The tube body is made from kraft paper internally laminated with special decorative paper on the exterior, giving each tube a premium tactile quality. Inside every tube sits a grease-proof baking paper liner — a circular paper cup that holds the batter during baking and protects the tube from oil and moisture. With 8 standard sizes and full OEM/ODM custom printing, Hallpack's cake tubes serve applications ranging from cupcake counters to premium gifting.

What Are the Components of a Cake Paper Tube?

A cake paper tube is a coordinated 3-component system, and each part serves a distinct functional role. Understanding the structure helps bakery brands specify the right configuration for their product.

  • Top Lid Cap: A flat circular paper lid that fits snugly over the tube body opening. It functions as the primary branding surface for the top face and is available in matching or contrasting print designs to the tube body.

  • Grease-Proof Baking Paper Liner (Inlay): A circular food-grade grease-proof paper cup inside the tube. It functions as the baking mold (batter is poured directly into the liner) and as the protective food-contact barrier. Sizes 7 and 8 use a foldable circular liner for the larger diameter. This liner is included as standard with every tube.

  • Tube Body (Main Cylinder): The central cylindrical structure, made from a kraft paper core laminated with special decorative paper on the exterior. It offers a full 360° printable brand surface, is available in all 8 standard diameters, and is structurally rigid, crush-resistant, and stackable.

What Sizes Do Cake Paper Tubes Come In?

Hallpack's cake paper tubes come in 8 standard sizes ranging from 50 ml to 750 ml, with every size including a matching grease-proof baking paper liner (sizes 7 and 8 feature a foldable circular liner). Custom diameters and heights are also available upon request.

What Materials Are Cake Paper Tubes Made From?

Cake paper tubes are built from three functional layers — a special decorative paper exterior, a kraft paper structural core, and a grease-proof baking paper liner — chosen to balance structural performance, food safety, and brand aesthetics.

  • Outer Layer: Special Decorative Paper. The outermost surface is a premium special paper — smooth, coated, and designed for high-quality printing. This full 360° brand canvas supports CMYK, Pantone, foil stamping, embossing, and surface finishes. The choice of special paper (coated, textured, metallic, or kraft) directly defines the visual character of the finished tube.

  • Core: Kraft Paper Structural Layer. The inner structural body is wound kraft paper with high tensile strength, natural rigidity, and sustainable sourcing. Kraft paper gives the tube its cylindrical form, crush resistance, and stackability, while also providing a warm, artisan authenticity that resonates with modern food brands and aligns with eco credentials.

  • Inner Layer: Grease-Proof Baking Paper Liner. The direct food-contact surface is a circular grease-proof baking paper liner included with every tube. This food-grade paper resists oil and moisture, preventing grease migration into the paperboard wall, and also functions as the baking mold: batter is poured directly into the liner, baked separately, then cooled and inserted into the paper tube.
