Paperboard Retail Packaging
Paperboard Mailing Tubes
Even though emails and text messages have largely replaced traditional mailed letters, thousands of people still use the mail every day to send important documents like certificates, posters, legal papers, degrees and so on. Any kind of special item like these needs to be protected by secure packaging that will not bend and damage the contents, and that’s where paperboard mailing tubes come in.
At Paper Tubes & Sales manufacturing, we manufacture a wide variety of mailing tubes. Our cardboard mailing tubes can be made with plastic end caps for added stability, while simpler styles just use tapered cardboard ends as a seal. If you like our cardboard mailing tubes, you might also be interested in PTS paperboard shipping tubes.
Cardboard mailing tubes from Paper Tubes & Sales Manufacturing Inc. are sold by the bundle. These tubes come in different diameters and weights, and they can be ordered with either snap seals or end plugs.
Custom Tubes
Just in case one of our standard tube sizes doesn’t work for you, we are able to manufacture custom mailing tubes to meet almost any need. Whether you need a custom size or customized colors and labels, we’ve got you covered. A custom mailing tube helps to add a professional edge to your mail and makes it easily identifiable for the recipient.
