Made in the USA

We have been manufacturing spiral paper tubes here in Los Angeles since 1949. Over the decades, we’ve watched many businesses move their operations off-shore and overseas, but we are committed to staying in Los Angeles and servicing our domestic customers with the best products possible.

About 20 years ago, we started also manufacturing v-board, corner guards, edge protectors after we learned just how many domestic companies were in needed of domestic products. We use high quality, recycled paper to manufacture our paper tubes and v-board.

There is so much to be grateful for

Life is hard. Managing a family is hard. Running a business is hard. Bad things happen to the ones we love and often times there’s nothing we can do to make it better.

For many of us, we spend as much time around our co-workers as we do our own family.

At Spiral Paper Tube, we’re grateful for it all. Sure, we make paper tubes, but the paper tubes give us the reason to connect with each other. We work together to make a product for somebody else. We work together to provide a solution to somebody’s problem. Some days are better than other, but in the end, we’re in it together.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to not just make a product, but to have a shared reason to connect with so many people.

From our warehouse to yours, Happy Thanksgiving.

Paper Tubes Aren’t Just For Toilet Paper

It’s that time of year again, and we know that you crafter mom types have been on Pinterest day and night brewing up ideas for your kids costumes.

The toilet paper roll is the paper tube most often used for crafts, but did you know Concrete Form Tubes are a close second?

Concrete Form Tubes are structurally the same as a toilet paper tube – round and made out of paper and glue – but Concrete Form Tubes have a bigger diameter and are much thicker. They’re the perfect size to fit a small kid inside of for the perfect Halloween costume.

The easiest way to get your hands on a Concrete Form Tube is at Home Depot or Lowes. If you’re the crafty type and plan on using a giant paper tube for your kids’ costumes this year, send us your pictures.

Happy Halloween everybody!

I need 3″ tape cores and 3″ label cores…yesterday!

As a manufacturer, we make everything to order. This means we do not keep any tubes, cores, or edge protectors in stock. Distributors keep stock on their warehouse floors and deliver to end users on demand. When a customer sends a Purchase Order and payment, it takes us around 14 days (fewer days for some products) to produce that order, then ship it.

Tape cores and label cores are a bit different.

The most common inside diameter for tape cores and label cores is 3″. The most common wall thickness is .125″. The length, however, varies.

For this reason, we make 3″ ID tape cores and 3″ ID label cores available for purchase directly from our website. No need to send a Purchase Order and wait two weeks.

5 Steps to Order Tape Cores and Label Cores

  1. Visit our website
  2. Select how many boxes you want
  3. Select your preferred UPS service
  4. Complete your order
  5. Receive your cores via UPS
