Custom 116mm Pre-Roll Tubes: Labels, Artwork & Ordering

A custom 116mm pre-roll tube project begins with the tube, but the order includes more than the blank package.

Product fit, label dimensions, artwork, compliance copy, design quantities, proof approval, application requirements, production timing, and freight all affect the finished result.

Confirm each part of the project before approving production. A label can look correct on a screen and still be unsuitable if the product does not fit, the artwork uses the wrong template, the label interferes with the closure, or the order quantity does not support the planned SKU split.

For other sizes, materials, and closure options, browse Sana Packaging’s Pre-Roll Tubes collection.

Start With the 116mm Tube

The Sana Ocean Tube 116mm is a pop-top package made in the USA from 100% reclaimed ocean-bound polypropylene.

The current product configuration:

• Has a nominal length of 116mm
• Uses an integrated child-resistant pop-top closure
• Is designed for compatible king-size pre-rolls, blunts, and vape pens
• Is food-grade certified and FDA-compliant
• Is made from #5 polypropylene, which is recyclable where accepted
• Is stocked in white and black
• Supports traditional label customization
• Can be paired with compatible tamper bands and other project-specific components

These specifications provide a starting point. They do not establish that every king-size pre-roll, blunt, vape pen, label, or finished packaging configuration will fit.

Test the actual product before ordering customized tubes.

Confirm the Finished Product Fits

A nominal product description is not enough to determine fit.

Measure and document:

• Complete product length
• Widest product diameter
• Filter or crutch dimensions
• Tip dimensions
• Wrap or paper thickness
• Product shape
• Expected dimensional variation
• Desired headspace
• Whether compression or contact with the closure is acceptable

Measure the finished product rather than relying only on the stated length of the paper, wrap, cone, or hardware component.

For pre-rolls and blunts, the final dimensions can be affected by filling, twisting, folding, sealing, filter placement, and production variation. Vape hardware should be measured in its fully assembled form.

The 116mm tube should provide enough room for the product without preventing the pop-top closure from operating correctly.

Test the Complete Package

Use physical samples and representative finished products whenever possible.

The test configuration should include:

• The 116mm tube
• The actual pre-roll, blunt, vape pen, or representative product
• The planned label
• Any tamper-evident component
• Any insert or additional component
• Required instructions or other materials

Record:

• Product and SKU
• Finished-product dimensions
• Remaining headspace
• Product movement
• Whether the product contacts the closure
• Whether the tube closes completely
• Whether an adult can open and correctly reclose it
• Whether the label affects closure operation
• Whether the tamper-evident component performs as intended
• Any product or packaging damage

Repeat the test with products near the expected low and high ends of the production range. One successful fit does not establish that the configuration will work consistently.

Treat Child Resistance and Tamper Evidence Separately

The tube uses an integrated child-resistant pop-top closure.

Child resistance comes from the tested package design and closure mechanism. It does not come from the label, artwork, polypropylene material, tamper band, or product placed inside the tube.

Confirm that:

• The tube closes completely after filling
• The product does not obstruct the closure
• The label does not cover or restrict the opening mechanism
• Adult users can understand the opening method
• The package can be correctly reclosed
• The exact tube has current child-resistance documentation appropriate for the project

Child-resistant does not mean child-proof.

The pop-top closure also does not automatically make the package tamper-evident. If visible evidence of opening is required, evaluate a compatible tamper band, label, seal, or other documented feature.

Test child resistance and tamper evidence as separate functions within the same finished configuration.

Define the Custom-Label Project

Before preparing artwork, define what the supplier is expected to provide.

Confirm whether the project includes:

• Blank 116mm tubes
• Label printing
• Label application
• Separate rolls of labels
• Several artwork designs
• A tamper-evident component
• Custom outer packaging
• Packing or assembly requirements
• Freight to one or several destinations

Also confirm who will apply the labels.

Labels applied by Sana Packaging may have different artwork, quantities, production, roll direction, and overage requirements than labels delivered on rolls for application by the customer or another production partner.

The quote and purchase order should state whether the blank tubes are included and whether the labels will be applied before shipment.

Use the Exact 116mm Label Template

Use the current Sana Ocean Tube 116mm label template for the project.

Do not resize artwork created for a different tube and assume it will fit the 116mm package. Different tube sizes can have different circumferences, label areas, closure clearances, and application requirements.

Before designing, confirm:

• The exact tube and product SKU
• Label dimensions
• Artwork orientation
• Bleed and safe-area requirements
• Closure clearance
• Label edge or overlap requirements
• Roll direction, when applicable
• Required file format
• Color mode
• Font and image requirements
• Barcode specifications

If the template or production requirements are unclear, request confirmation before completing the artwork.

Build the Artwork for Production

The label must support both the brand design and the information required for the finished product.

Depending on the market and product, the artwork may need space for:

• Brand name
• Product name
• Product type
• Net weight or quantity
• Ingredients
• Cannabinoid information
• Required warnings
• License information
• Testing information
• Batch or lot information
• Manufacturing or packaging information
• Barcode
• Variable data
• Opening or disposal instructions

Packaging and labeling requirements vary by jurisdiction and product. The brand is responsible for confirming the requirements that apply in every market where the finished product will be sold.

When preparing the file:

• Keep required copy legible
• Use the approved template without changing its scale
• Preserve the required safe areas and bleed
• Keep important content away from seams and label edges
• Leave adequate clearance around the pop-top closure
• Confirm that linked images are available at production quality
• Convert or package fonts as required
• Verify barcode size, placement, contrast, and scanning
• Remove hidden, obsolete, or unintended artwork
• Identify the final design with a clear version name

Review the artwork at its actual printed size. A design that appears readable when enlarged on a monitor may not be legible on the finished tube.

Plan Quantities by Design

A total tube quantity does not necessarily determine the minimum for every label design.

Break the order down by:

• Product
• Artwork design
• Strain or formulation
• Market
• Language
• Required compliance version
• Planned launch date
• Shipping destination

Before approving the order, confirm:

1. The total number of tubes
2. The quantity assigned to each design
3. The minimum quantity for each design
4. Whether quantities must align with full packaging cases
5. Whether label quantities must include production overage
6. Whether several designs can share one production order
7. Whether unused labels will be shipped, stored, or discarded
8. Whether the quoted quantity includes blank tubes and label application

A project may meet the total production minimum but still fail to meet a per-design requirement.

Provide Complete Information for the Quote

A complete request helps the supplier confirm the correct product, quantity, label configuration, and schedule.

Provide:

• Sana Ocean Tube 116mm as the requested package
• Stock color
• Total tube quantity
• Quantity for each artwork design
• Number of SKUs
• Intended product
• Finished-product dimensions
• Label material or finish preferences
• Whether Sana Packaging will print the labels
• Whether Sana Packaging will apply the labels
• Tamper-evident requirements
• Target delivery date
• Shipping destination
• Whether the artwork is production-ready
• Current artwork files
• Any packing, storage, or freight requirements

If samples have not been tested, request them before finalizing the production order.

Explore the 116mm Pop-Top Ocean Tube or review Sana Packaging’s Customization Services before requesting a quote.

Review the Proof Carefully

The proof is the final opportunity to identify many artwork and production errors before label production begins.

Confirm:

• Correct tube
• Correct tube color
• Correct artwork design
• Correct artwork version
• Correct quantity for each design
• Correct label dimensions
• Correct orientation
• Correct product and compliance copy
• Correct barcode
• Correct colors
• Correct label material and finish
• Correct application requirements
• Correct shipping information

Compare the proof with the approved artwork file, not with memory or an earlier email attachment.

Check every SKU independently. Approval of one design does not confirm that the product name, warnings, barcode, quantity, or variable information is correct on another design.

Proof approval generally authorizes production. Changes requested afterward may affect cost and timing.

Plan the Schedule From Final Proof Approval

Blank and custom packaging schedules should be treated separately.

The complete customization timeline may include:

• Product selection
• Sample testing
• Quote preparation
• Artwork development
• Preflight review
• Proof preparation
• Proof revisions
• Final proof approval
• Payment requirements
• Label production
• Label application
• Quality review
• Freight and delivery

Many custom-label projects require approximately four weeks of production after final proof approval. Artwork preparation, proof revisions, production scheduling, and shipping occur outside that production period.

When possible, begin at least six weeks before the target delivery date. More time may be needed for several designs, complex artwork, specialty materials, large quantities, production changes, or freight coordination.

Confirm the current schedule before committing to a filling date, product launch, or retail delivery.

Inspect the Finished Order

Inspect the delivered packaging before releasing it to routine production.

Use an approved sampling plan and confirm:

• Correct tube and color
• Correct quantities
• Correct artwork for each SKU
• Label alignment
• Label adhesion
• Label edges and overlap
• Print quality
• Text legibility
• Barcode scanning
• Clearance from the closure
• Pop-top operation
• Tamper-evident feature performance
• Fit of the actual product
• Condition after packing and transportation

If a problem is identified, preserve representative samples, packaging labels, case information, photographs, purchase-order details, and production records.

Do not fill the entire order before confirming that the finished packaging matches the approved standard.

Document the Approved Configuration

After testing and inspection, create a production standard for repeat orders.

Document:

• Exact product name and SKU
• Tube color
• Intended product
• Finished-product dimensions
• Acceptable product variation
• Required headspace
• Filling method
• Closure procedure
• Child-resistance documentation
• Tamper-evident component
• Label template
• Approved artwork
• Proof
• Label material and finish
• Label-application method
• Quantities by design
• Packing and storage requirements
• Test and inspection results
• Final approval date
• Responsible reviewer

Keep the approved standard with the purchase order, quote, artwork, proofs, and production records.

Reconfirm the configuration if any of the following change: the tube, product, dimensions, artwork, label material, label supplier, application method, tamper-evident component, filling process, or regulatory requirements.

Keep Material Claims Component-Specific

The molded 116mm Ocean Tube is made from 100% reclaimed ocean-bound polypropylene.

That material claim should not automatically be applied to:

• Labels
• Inks
• Adhesives
• Tamper bands
• Inserts
• Paperboard packaging
• Other separately manufactured components

The tube is made from #5 polypropylene and should be described as recyclable where accepted rather than recyclable everywhere. Local acceptance may depend on size, color, labels, residual product, collection programs, and sorting infrastructure.

Reclaimed ocean-bound plastic refers to plastic collected from areas where it was at risk of entering waterways. It should not be described as plastic recovered directly from the ocean unless that claim is specifically documented.

Material composition does not independently establish child resistance, tamper evidence, product compatibility, recyclability in every location, or the environmental performance of the finished packaging system.

Approve the Complete Project

A successful custom 116mm pre-roll tube order depends on the complete configuration.

Test the actual product. Use the correct label template. Define quantities by design. Review every proof. Confirm the production schedule. Inspect the delivered order. Then preserve the approved configuration for future production.
