Paperboard Mailing Tubes

Cardboard 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.
