Cardboard Tubes and Postal Tubes

We are proud to produce cardboard tubes that are a reliable and cost effective way to package, protect and ship a wide variety of items. From important documents and artwork to posters and maps, our postal tubes are designed to ensure safe storage and secure delivery. Available in both round and triangular formats, this versatile packaging solution gives businesses and individuals complete confidence when shipping rolled goods across the UK.

Each option within our range of cardboard tubes is manufactured with strength and durability in mind. Sturdy walls and snug-fitting end caps keep contents protected throughout the shipping process. Whether you need A3 mailing tubes for office use or larger formats for oversized projects, we provide cardboard products in many lengths and diameters to suit your requirements.

Postal tubes for every application

Our postal tubes are designed to meet the varied demands of businesses and customers alike for secure delivery . They are ideal for sending:

Posters, blueprints and artwork
Maps, charts and technical drawings
Certificates, contracts and other important documents
E-commerce goods that require rolled storage

Triangular cardboard tubes provide an easy-to-assemble alternative to traditional round cores. They reduce the risk of rolling in transit and create a neat, professional appearance on arrival. Long postal boxes, meanwhile, are produced from strong double wall cardboard, making them suitable for heavier or higher-value items.

Eco-friendly and 100% recyclable

Kite’s cardboard tubes are not only tough but also environmentally friendly. Manufactured using recycled materials wherever possible, with no unnecessary plastic, they are fully recyclable after use. This helps reduce waste, cut down on landfill, and lower overall environmental impact. For any company committed to sustainable packaging, choosing tubes made from responsibly sourced board is an excellent step towards greener shipping.

Lengths, diameters and custom options

We stock cardboard tubes in a wide range of lengths and diameters to suit different applications. From short A3 sizes to extra-long formats, our postal tubes can be matched to your exact delivery needs. Businesses that produce large-scale artwork or technical drawings can find cores big enough to store and ship without risk of damage.

Multiple length options available for different document sizes
Diameters chosen to prevent over-tight rolling
Sealed with secure end caps for reliable storage and delivery

If you need to produce cardboard tubes for a specialist project, our team can advise on tailored solutions. This ensures that all our cardboard tubes meet both customer requirements and adhere to royal mail sizing requirements for stress-free shipping.

Quality control and manufacture

Every one of our tubes goes through strict quality control to ensure consistent performance. Using advanced manufacture methods, we create strong postal packaging that keeps its form in transit. The combination of durability and neat presentation gives customers confidence in the quality of their delivery.
