FAQs
Will essential oils stain or wick through the tube?
Citrus and mentholated oils can migrate over time. We recommend foil or glassine liners and snug ring nests to protect the wrap and improve shelf-life.
Are these recyclable?
Paperboard tubes are widely recyclable. Windows, liners, and certain closures may differ — we label parts clearly and recommend checking local programs.
Can I add a window without plastic?
Yes — choose an open die-cut. PLA window film is also available and is industrially compostable where programs exist.
How do I size for a 10 ml bottle?
Measure your bottle at the widest point (include label & cap), then add 3–6 mm clearance. We’ll confirm with a dieline and ring-nest recommendation.
Do you include the glass bottle?
No — packaging only. We build inserts to your bottle spec for a secure fit.
