Cylinder Box Types
1-Piece, 2-Piece and 3-Piece Models
Cylinder boxes are one of the most popular packaging solutions that allow brands to present their products in an aesthetic, safe, and prestigious way. To meet different industry needs, cylinder box types are generally divided into three categories based on production technique: 1-piece, 2-piece, and 3-piece cylinder boxes.
Here’s a detailed look at each model.
1-Piece Cylinder Boxes (With Metal or Plastic Lid)
1-piece cylinder boxes are made from a single cardboard body, closed with either a metal or plastic lid.
The body is produced from durable cardboard and can be laminated, printed, or coated for extra protection.
The lid option helps preserve freshness and provides extended usability.
Most commonly used for tea, coffee, spices, dried fruits, cosmetics, and promotional packaging.
Advantages: Cost-effective, practical, lightweight, and suitable for fast production.
2-Piece Cylinder Boxes (Telescopic Model)
2-piece cylinder boxes consist of a bottom base and a top lid. This model is also known as the telescopic cylinder box in the packaging industry.
The bottom section serves as the main container for the product.
The top part acts as the lid and slides over the bottom.
With its sturdy structure, it is widely used for gift items, textile accessories, chocolates, premium food products, and personal care packaging.
Advantages: Durable structure, premium presentation, and a refined unboxing experience for consumers.

3-Piece Cylinder Boxes (With Shoulder Insert)
3-piece cylinder boxes are a more sophisticated packaging solution, designed for luxury and premium products. This model includes an internal shoulder (insert) inside the body.
The shoulder ensures that the top and bottom lids fit securely onto the body.
Can be manufactured with or without rolled edges.
Mostly preferred for spirits, perfumes, luxury gifts, and high-end brand packaging.
Advantages: High-level protection, elegant design possibilities, and enhanced brand prestige.

By choosing the right cylinder box type—whether 1-piece, 2-piece, or 3-piece—brands can go beyond simple product protection and create a packaging experience that strengthens customer loyalty and highlights brand value.
