Protect your badminton shuttlecocks with custom paper tubes. Standard diameters 40mm, 42mm, and 43mm. Full-color offset printing with your brand. One-stop: tubes + shuttlecocks from the same factory.
Custom Printed 42mm Shuttlecock Tube
Durable, print-friendly paper tubes designed to protect shuttlecocks from feather damage and moisture.
Our shuttlecock tubes are spiral-wound paper cylinders built to protect badminton shuttlecocks during storage, transit, and retail display. Available in standard inner diameters of 40mm, 42mm, and 43mm to match every shuttlecock type — from recreational nylon to tournament-grade goose feather.
What sets us apart: we manufacture both the shuttlecock tube AND the shuttlecock itself in the same factory. Your logo is applied on the cork and the tube exterior with matching Pantone colors. One inquiry, one order, one consistent brand experience — no coordinating two suppliers.
Tubes are available with multiple wall thicknesses (3-7 ply), cap types (snap-fit, screw cap, metal), and inner liner options. Full-color offset printing and premium finishing including foil stamping and spot UV.
One factory for custom shuttlecocks + custom tubes. Unified branding, faster lead times, consistent quality.
Your logo on the shuttlecock cork AND the tube. Same Pantone color, same design language, consistent brand experience from feather to shelf.
Parallel production lines for shuttlecocks and tubes cut total lead time versus using separate factories. 30,000+ daily output with streamlined production.
One shipment, one customs declaration, one point of contact. No coordinating two suppliers, no double shipping costs, no quality mismatches.
Combined shuttlecock + tube orders benefit from volume pricing on both. Save 15-25% versus sourcing from separate manufacturers.
All dimensions customizable. Standard sizes ship fastest.
