What Is a Scatter Tube?
A scatter tube – also called a scattering tube, biodegradable cremation urn, ash scattering urn, eco scatter tube, or paper tube urn – is a respectful, easy-to-use container designed specifically for the scattering of cremated ashes. Unlike a traditional ceramic or metal urn, a scatter tube is made from recycled cardboard and food-grade paper, finished with a tear-off perforated lid that allows mourners to release ashes slowly, controllably and with dignity at sea, in a forest, on a mountain, in a memorial garden, or at any other meaningful location.
Because the entire body is 100% biodegradable and contains no plastic, metal staples or chemical adhesives, scatter tubes are also widely used as burial urns for green funerals, water burials and tree-planting ceremonies. They are TSA-friendly, X-ray transparent and approved for air travel, making them the preferred choice for families who need to transport ashes across states or countries.
Why Holidaypac Scatter Tubes Sell Better
🌿 100% Biodegradable Construction
Body, base and lid are made from FSC-certified recycled kraft paperboard. No plastic liner, no metal rivets, no toxic glue. Decomposes naturally in soil within months and is completely safe for water burial.
🎨 Full-Color Custom Printing
Offset CMYK + Pantone spot colors, matte/gloss/soft-touch lamination, gold & silver foil stamping, embossing, debossing and spot UV. Print your own brand, photo, scenery, pet portrait or memorial poem on every tube.
🔒 Patented Tear-Strip Opening
Our perforated tear strip opens cleanly with one pull – no scissors, no fumbling at the ceremony. Once opened, the tube pours ashes in a smooth, controlled stream so mourners feel composed and respected.
💪 Reinforced 1.5–2.0 mm Wall
Spiral-wound multi-ply paperboard with a moisture-resistant inner liner. Our tubes do not collapse, dent or absorb moisture like cheaper single-wall competitors. Safely holds adult ashes up to 230 cubic inches / 200 lb pre-cremation weight.
✈️ TSA & Airline Approved
All-paper construction is fully X-ray transparent. Families can carry the urn in checked or carry-on luggage without delay – a major selling point for online listings.
🐾 Pet & Human Sizes Available
Keepsake (5–25 cu in), Small Pet (40 cu in), Medium Pet (90 cu in), Large Pet (130 cu in), Adult (200 / 230 cu in) and Companion (450 cu in). Custom sizes welcome.

FAQ – Scatter Tube Buyers Ask Us
Q: Are your scatter tubes really 100% biodegradable?
Yes. The body, lid, base and inner liner are paper-based and decompose naturally in soil or water. We can provide a biodegradability test report (ASTM D6400 / EN 13432 compliant materials).
Q: Can I put my own brand & logo on the tube?
Absolutely. Send us your artwork (AI, PSD, PDF) and we deliver a digital proof within 24 hours. White-label, private label and full OEM are all welcome.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 500 pcs per design. For new brands testing the market we offer a 100-pc digital-print sample run.
Q: Are scatter tubes allowed on airplanes?
Yes. Because there is no metal or dense plastic, our tubes are fully X-ray transparent and TSA-compliant. Most families fly with them in carry-on luggage.
Q: How long do ashes stay safe inside a scatter tube?
Ashes can be stored indoors indefinitely – the tube only begins to biodegrade when exposed to soil moisture, water or composting conditions.
Q: Can the tube be used for water burial?
Yes. A water-dispersible variant is available – it floats briefly, then opens and releases ashes within 2–5 minutes, fully dissolving over hours. Ideal for sea-scattering ceremonies.
Q: Do you ship to the USA / UK / EU / Australia / Canada?
Yes. We ship worldwide by sea (FCL / LCL), by air, and DDP door-to-door so you receive a customs-cleared shipment with no surprises.
