Shipping tubes

For shipping, archiving and storage

Shipping tubes (also called mailing tubes) are suitable for archiving and posting long items. They are
used by architects for construction plans, sketches and drawings, for example. The tubes are also
highly suitable for posters, prints and pictures.

Application/Uses
The strong and long-lived case is perfect for internal or external posting of long products and
documents and for archiving, storing and safekeeping maps, plans, posters or calendars. Its
structural strength protects the goods from damage, dust and dirt during transport.

The mail-approved cases do not incur additional shipping fees and also save on time, as the plans
only have to be rolled and the plastic lids applied to the top and bottom of the tubes.

Composition
The spirally or diagonally wound board (solid cardboard) is covered in paper, making the cases
extremely robust and shock-resistant. It is almost impossible to bend the tube, offering perfect
protection for the sketches and plans during transport. The environmentally friendly materials used
in the manufacture of these tubes are 100% recyclable after shipping.

Sealing options
Rolled documents can be sealed inside the shipping tubes with either a self-adhesive folding seal or with two plastic or metal caps featuring an additional rim. Closing with plastic caps is very simple as they can be pushed into the tube at each end, closing the tube securely.

Shipping tube designs
The shipping tubes are available in different sizes and diameters, for sizes A4 to A0.

In addition, the tubes can be manufactured in the standard colours brown or white, in different colours or with custom printing.
