Search interest in the sushi push pop tube has been climbing steadily as the format keeps going viral on TikTok — and the questions that come with it look almost identical no matter where the buyer is writing from, whether it’s a sushi counter in Scandinavia or a new food brand in Latin America. This FAQ pulls together the specs, pricing logic, and shipping details Holidaypac gets asked most often by first-time buyers evaluating a sushi push pop tube supplier, so you can get a straight answer without waiting on a back-and-forth email thread.
What Sizes Does the Sushi Push Pop Tube Come In?
Holidaypac’s Sushi Push Pop Tube ships as one proven two-part system: a food-grade paper tube that holds the roll, and a matching PET sauce/push tube that doubles as the pushing mechanism.
| Component | Specification |
|---|---|
| Paper tube — outer size | 53 × 53 × 220 mm |
| Paper tube — inner size | 51 × 51 × 220 mm |
| Sauce/push tube — outer size | 12 × 12 × 225 mm |
| Sauce/push tube — inner size | 10 × 10 × 225 mm |
| Sauce capacity | 15 ml |
| Carton packing (paper tubes) | 100 pcs/carton, 55.5 × 29.5 × 47 cm, ~4.3 kg |
Need a different roll diameter or a shorter/taller tube? Holidaypac’s standard tooling flexes between roughly 48–54 mm in diameter and 200–240 mm in height. A completely custom size outside that range needs a new mold, which adds tooling cost and lead time on top of the numbers below — worth flagging with your account rep up front if your roll doesn’t fit the standard range.
Is the Sushi Push Pop Tube Food-Safe for Direct Food Contact?
Yes. Every tube is produced to international food-contact standards in Holidaypac’s dust-free Xiamen workshop, with SGS and LFGB test reports available on request, alongside the company’s broader FDA-compliant food-packaging certifications. If your business needs the test reports on file before you can approve a purchase order, ask for them at the sampling stage rather than after — it saves a round trip later.
What Materials Is It Made From?
The two parts of the system use different materials, chosen for their different jobs:
- Paper tube (holds the roll): a layered food-grade paperboard construction — 130gsm double-sided white cardboard on the outside for print quality, a 360gsm tube board core for rigidity, and a 110gsm PE-coated inner liner that keeps the roll from getting soggy.
- Sauce/push tube (dispenses sauce and pushes the roll up): food-grade, transparent PET plastic — lightweight, shatter-resistant, and recyclable.
Because the outer tube is paper-based, it takes full-color branding well and lines up with the eco-friendly sushi packaging positioning that’s become a differentiator for grab-and-go and delivery-focused sushi brands.
How Does the Push-Up Mechanism and Sauce Compartment Work?
This is the detail that surprises a lot of first-time buyers: the sauce compartment isn’t a bolt-on extra, it is the pushing mechanism.
- The sushi roll sits snugly inside the food-grade paper tube, resting on a movable disc at the bottom.
- The soy sauce (or other dipping sauce) lives inside the clear PET tube, which slots into the base.
- To eat, you open the lid and push the sauce tube upward — the plunger pushes the disc, which pushes the roll up and out, one bite at a time, with sauce released as you go.
No chopsticks, no unrolled California rolls, no mess — which is exactly the mechanic that’s been driving the format’s TikTok traction. If you need a hands-on demo before committing, ask your Holidaypac contact for a short assembly video — it’s a faster way to see the mechanism than reading a description.
What’s the MOQ — Ready Stock vs. Custom Branding?
| Order type | MOQ |
|---|---|
| Ready-stock, unbranded (stock artwork) | 100 pcs |
| Custom-printed with your logo/design | 500 pcs |
The 500-piece custom MOQ is deliberately low for this category — it’s realistic for a single restaurant location, a food truck, or a new DTC brand to run a trial batch before scaling up, rather than being forced into a 5,000+ piece commitment on day one. (More on this in our sushi push pop packaging wholesale guide for restaurants.)
How Much Does a Custom Sushi Push Pop Tube Cost?
Door-to-door pricing for custom-branded tubes starts around $0.90 per piece at standard order volumes, with the per-piece cost dropping as quantity increases. The exact number for your order depends on four things:
- Material choice (standard paperboard vs. heavier/upgraded stock)
- Tube size (standard 53×53×220mm vs. a custom mold)
- Print complexity — a single-color label costs less than full 360° wraparound printing
- Order quantity and destination country (door-to-door shipping is priced into the per-piece rate)
Because those variables move the number meaningfully, Holidaypac quotes exact per-piece pricing at 100/500/1,000/5,000-unit break points once it knows your size, artwork, and shipping destination — send a message with those details and expect a quote back with a same-day turnaround in most cases.
Can I Get Free Samples Before Ordering — and What Does Shipping Cost?
Yes. Standard samples are free and ready within 24 hours; if you need a fully custom sample with your own artwork, that typically takes about 3 days to produce. Either way, the sample itself doesn’t cost anything — the buyer covers the international courier fee to receive it, which is billed at actual cost and varies by destination and courier (DHL/FedEx/UPS rates to South America, for instance, differ from rates to Europe). Ask for a courier quote to your specific city when you request the sample so there are no surprises.
For design review before you commit to a physical sample, Holidaypac can also turn around a 3D digital proof in 1–3 days — a useful step if you’re iterating on branding before paying for shipping.
Does Holidaypac Ship Worldwide — Including Latin America?
Yes. Holidaypac ships door-to-door from its Xiamen, China facility to customers globally, including Latin American markets. Because freight cost depends on order volume, weight, and the destination country’s import requirements, the practical next step is to request a landed-cost quote for your specific country and order size rather than relying on a generic shipping estimate — customs handling and last-mile delivery can vary considerably by country even within the same region.
How Long Does a Custom Order Take, From Artwork to Delivery?
| Stage | Typical timeline |
|---|---|
| Free standard sample | Ships same day / within 24 hours |
| 3D digital design proof | 1–3 days |
| Physical custom sample (your artwork) | ~3 days |
| Mass production after artwork approval | 7–10 days (may extend during peak season) |
| International shipping | Quoted per destination at order time |
Do You Have a Product Catalog or Technical Spec Sheet?
Yes — the spec sheet shown earlier in this article covers the core dimensions, materials, and packing details, and Holidaypac can send the full bilingual technical data sheet (with certification copies) directly by email once you’re ready to move forward.

A layered food-grade paperboard tube (130gsm outer + 360gsm core + 110gsm PE-coated liner) paired with a food-grade, recyclable transparent PET sauce/push tube.
