Leading Mailing Tube Manufacturers

A mailing tube is a strong, stable, and long-lasting cardboard box that conveys long, slender products and equipment and rolled-up maps, banners, and posters. Mailing tubes’ unbreakable exterior provides protection, security, and ease of handling for their contents. Square prisms, cylindrical tubes, and triangular prisms are all common shapes for mailing tubes. They are constructed from strong, long-lasting paperboard or corrugated board. While triangular and square tubes are constructed like boxes and are foldable, cylindrical mailing tubes are created by winding sheets of kraft and test paper around a mandrel. Read More…

All mailing tubes, regardless of shape, are made to endure handling and stress during sending and delivery. Kraft paper, test paper, and paperboard are the basic building blocks for mailing tubes and are bonded or folded into tube shapes. The choice of materials depends on how durable the postal tubes must be because they may hold priceless objects, sensitive blueprints, and confidential drawings. Mailing tubes are closed with tape, cardboard folded over, or plastic or aluminum closures.

The objects being sent and their security needs determine the seal to use. The length of telescoping mailing tubes, also known as adjustable tubes, can be increased to fit various-sized papers, maps, banners, parts, and posters. Telescoping mailing tubes are tubes inside tubes that may be readily inserted and removed to accommodate the size of the object being transported. These specialized cardboard tubes are made of heavy-quality cardboard with thick, spiral-wound walls.

Types of Mailing Tubes

  • Telescoping Mail Tubes: Telescoping postal tubes are the best choice for shipping heavy, extended products like metal rods and lengthy industrial parts because of their strength and endurance. They enable a user to adjust them instantly to fit any length. The junction between the tubes is covered with tape or a label to stop the tube from retracting.

  • Snap-Seal Mail Tubes: There is no need for tape or end plugs when using a snap-seal, or crimped-end, mailing tubes. One end of the snap-seal mailing tube is crimped while the other end is left open to load an item inside of it. It is simple to slide whatever has to be transported into the open end. The open end is then pinched once the tube is loaded completely. Snap-seal mailing tubes can be easily sealed with the help of the quick crimping technique that allows these containers to be sealed by simply folding their ridges inward. Snap seal mailing tubes are the most affordable among the various varieties of mailing tubes and still retain the same robust hard structure as other mailing tubes. Snap-seal mailing tubes' quick-closing ends save time and create a secure seal that keeps the tube closed. Snap-seal mail tubes are made by wrapping and adhering kraft paper to a mandrel. These tubes range from a few inches to up to four feet in length.
  • Triangle-Shaped Mail Tubes: The process used to make triangle-shaped mailing tubes is similar to that of making boxes. They have die-cut flaps that need to be folded and adhered to. Their greatest advantage is that triangle-shaped cardboard mailing tubes lay flat and may be stacked without rolling or shifting the items held within. They often come in wide lengths, from less than a foot up to four feet, and are made of corrugated board with flaps. A manufacturer can change the widths of the three sides of triangle-shaped mailing tubes to match the particular specifications of a product. A triangle-shaped mailing tube has three distinguishing sides: length, breadth, and height. Triangular mailing tubes can also be arranged in another way that resembles a box with flaps and a lid. With this opening style, the lid is one of the tube's sides. The tube's ends are bonded and tightly shut, much like the ends of a box. The shipping items are inserted into the tube's side, and the lid is fastened with tape. Triangle-shaped mailing tubes' various aperture configurations enable the tube to be precisely adjusted to match the requirements of a product. The popularity of triangular-shaped mail tubes is a result of this design flexibility.

  • Curled-End Mailing Tubes: Rolled-edge canisters are synonymous with curled-end mailing tubes. They are available as single-piece, two-piece, or three-piece adjustable or telescopic tubes. One type of curled-end mailing tube has a spherical piece of thick paper or cardboard adhered to the top of the curled ends, and one end of the tube has its circumference folded inward. The telescopic section of a two-piece adjustable curled-end mailing tube is coiled and sealed with paper or cardboard. This telescopic design allows one to use the entire length of the tube, or just one section which then slides into the additional section(s), when desired, for extra protection.
