Cardboard Mailing Tubes Frequently Asked Questions

What Are Cardboard Mailing Tubes?
Cardboard mailing tubes are also commonly known as postage tubes. As the name suggests, cardboard mailing tubes are cylindrical containers made of stiff fiberboard. Spiral-bound cardboard ribbons are fastened with adhesive to give shape to the tubes and add strength to them so that they can be used to mail various items. The diameter and length of the tube are made to almost any required size.

The walls of postage tubes are made of heavy-duty cardboard. This makes cardboard tubes stronger and more protected than a regular cardboard box. Cardboard mailing tubes shield the item's damage in case it drops or is subject to rough handling.



What Are Cardboard Mailing Tubes Used For?
Cardboard mailing tubes are specially designed to ship items that are sensitive and fragile in nature. Some of the commonly shipped items are banners, photographs, maps, calendars, documents, posters, artworks, blueprints, and similar articles. These cardboard tubes are also used for shipping medical supplies, chemicals, cosmetics, beverages, and glass bottles.  Postage tubes come with caps for each end of the tube which serves as a secure closure.
