FAQ

Paper cans (or postal tubes) are typically used for holding posters, bottles and anything else that can fit inside a long, narrow cylinder. You can also use them to ship coffee, tea, sweets, shirts or other light-weight textiles.

Note: While Paper Cans are technically food-friendly due to there being no print inside, most food transport standards require food products to be packed in another layer of packaging before they are put inside a Paper Can.

No, we do not offer to print inside our Paper cans/ Postal tubes. The product is cylindrical in design and the internal area isn’t visible enough to warrant any design.

Are Paper Cans and postal tubes the same thing? Can you print directly onto Paper tubes? Can you use these cans for shipping? Answers to all of your questions will follow. Find out how our range of paper tubes can offer a creative alternative to your regular shipping boxes.

Postal tubes that are easy-to- design online!

Create the design for your Paper cans, easily from scratch, with Packhelp’s online editor. Pick your size and then design your postal tubes in your own way. Add a logo, a pattern or any other elements you’d like. Then order as little as 30 pieces.

Thanks to the digital printing method used to print on these paper tubes, the print is strong, vibrant and stands out. Abstract, imagery and floral-based patterns all look bright and shiny. However, you can also implement a more minimalistic approach like wrapping some kind of text around the outside of your can!

Flexible orders with free shipping you spend over €300/£300

There’s no need to commit to buying large quantities of custom paper cans. If you’re a small brand operating locally, you don’t want your cash flow tied up in the form of packaging, sitting, waiting to be used.. Packhelp offers orders from 30 pieces and up to whatever number you might need.

Every postal tube order is delivered in the UK and EU for free when you spend over €300/£300. No hidden costs, no special fees – the price in the editor is the price you pay. Simple as that.
