Cylinder Mailing Tubes are sturdy paperboard tubes for shipping rolled or long items like posters, prints, blueprints, and apparel. Built from rigid spiral-wound paperboard with secure end caps and available custom-printed, they protect contents from bending and crushing in transit.
The round shape resists denting better than a flat box, and snug end caps keep contents from sliding out, so fragile rolled goods arrive flat and intact. Custom printing on the tube wall turns shipping into a brand moment. A common use: an art studio or print shop mailing prints to customers without the curl and creasing a flat envelope risks.
