Food Grade Paper for Paper Tubes – Lightweight, Safe, and Purpose-Built
When it comes to food packaging, especially products that go inside paper tubes like snacks, tea, spices, coffee, or nutritional powders, there's one part of the structure that plays a quiet but essential role: the inner food grade liner paper. At Songhong Paper, we specialize in producing food grade paper in 30gsm, 40gsm, 45gsm, and 50gsm, designed specifically for paper tube packaging.
These lightweight papers may not seem impressive at first glance, but they carry a significant function-protecting the food inside from direct contact with the outer tube material, preserving taste, freshness, and most importantly, safety.
Why Lightweight Food Grade Paper Matters
Paper tube packaging has grown in popularity across the globe for its recyclable, biodegradable appeal. It's sleek, easy to customize, and stands out on the shelf. However, what's often overlooked is the importance of the inner food contact layer. If this layer is not carefully chosen, it could impact the product's shelf life, absorb moisture, or worse-compromise safety standards.
That's where Songhong's food grade paper steps in.
Our lightweight grades-30gsm to 50gsm-are tailored to serve as the inner lining in composite paper tubes. They're flexible, clean, and certified for food contact. Whether you're producing tubes for table salt, milk powder, oats, or candies, our paper meets the demands of both small and industrial-scale production.
Features You Can Count On
✅ Food-Safe Certification: All our paper grades comply with relevant food contact regulations (FSC available, and FDA-compliant grades on request).
✅ Smooth Surface Finish: Ideal for gluing to inner tube walls, ensuring no bubbles, wrinkles, or peeling during conversion.
✅ Odorless and Neutral: Our paper won't affect the flavor or scent of your product.
✅ Customizable Width and Roll Size: We cut rolls to size to match your exact production needs.
✅ Eco-Conscious Options: Made with sustainability in mind-recyclable, chlorine-free, and low in migration substances.
Typical Applications
Paper canisters for salt and sugar
Cardboard tubes for snack powders

This paper is especially well-suited for automatic tube winding machines, offering smooth unwinding and consistent bonding.

Made for Production – Not Just for Looks
The paper you choose affects how your tubes perform during filling, sealing, and storage. With Songhong Paper, you're not just buying a roll-you're buying performance.
Our food grade papers are engineered to run well on:
Spiral winding machines
Automatic tube forming lines
Manual wrapping and hand-finish stations

Let's Talk Flexibility
Some suppliers stick to standard sizes-we don't. Whether you need narrow rolls for mini-tubes or wider ones for full-length canisters, we cut it to spec. Need a custom pallet size? A special wrapping method? Labels with your batch numbers? We do it all.
This flexibility helps you cut down waste, improve efficiency, and stay focused on what matters-delivering a high-quality, safe product to your customers.
