Postal tubes
Safely mail your posters and artwork in our postal tubes – in
fact anything that can be rolled! A simple yet effective concept, poster tubes reduce
both package size and postal costs as well as protecting your items.
Available in a range of sizes, our cardboard poster tubes safeguard your artwork
from becoming creased and ripped during transit or in storage. Cardboard postal
tubes provide all round protection, and can be used time and again. They
are not just for posters, charts, artwork and maps, a postal tube can be used to
store or mail any long cylindrical object.
All are manufactured with a strong brown
Kraft outer, which gives a heavier duty finish and improved appearance to the recycled
grades used by many of our competitors.
All our tubes are supplied with white polyethylene end caps, which are made to fit
tightly to ensure the contents remain secure in transit. The length of each tube
shown in the table above is the total length of the tube. When using the end caps
that are supplied, ir will reduce the overall useable length.
