Our mailing tubes offer a robust solution for shipping items you can roll, from architectural plans to artwork. They use durable cardboard to protect contents during transit, ensuring they arrive in pristine condition. The range includes several formats to suit different operational needs.

Triangular cardboard mailing tubes

The standout option in our collection is the triangular tube. Its unique shape provides significant practical advantages over traditional round tubes. Firstly, these cardboard mailing tubes will not roll on conveyor belts or in delivery vans, which reduces the risk of loss or damage during shipping. Secondly, they stack flat, saving valuable storage space in your warehouse or studio before use. This design is ideal for sending posters, large-format prints and technical drawings. We supply them in plain kraft or white versions, such as the Plain Cardboard Triangle Tube, which you can order from low minimum quantities. For a branded solution, the Custom Cardboard Triangle Tube allows you to apply your full-colour design across its entire surface.

Custom printed shipping tubes

For businesses wanting to add branding to their packaging, we provide full-colour printing on our shipping tubes. You can upload your artwork directly to create a custom design that covers the entire exterior, ensuring your package is instantly recognisable upon delivery.

Mailing tubes and poster tubes for every need

Beyond the triangular format, our range of poster tubes caters to various requirements. These tubes protect delicate paper and canvas goods from creasing and damage. If you need a more conventional box shape that still accommodates rolled items, consider our selection of tube boxes. These rectangular boxes provide the same protective function but with the familiar handling and stacking of a standard shipping box. A great example is the Plain Cardboard Tube Box, which offers a simple and effective way to ship your rolled products. All our cardboard mailing tubes come flat-packed for efficient storage and are quick to assemble when you are ready to ship.
