At The Packaging Club, we’re always refining our products so they are practical, protective and efficient to use. Postal tubes are a great example: their simple shape provides dependable strength for items that should not be folded.
Postal tubes are ideal for certificates, posters, prints, magazines, paintings, signs, banners, maps, architectural drawings and engineering schematics. They can also protect longer items such as fishing rods, umbrellas, walking sticks, art supplies, wallpaper, curtains and blinds.
Round and triangular postal tubes
Round and triangular postal tubes both protect rolled and long items effectively. The best format depends on how you store, pack and transport your products.
Round postal tubes arrive ready to use and their spiral-wound construction provides excellent strength and crush resistance. They are available in a wide range of lengths and diameters, with recyclable end caps included.
Triangular postal tubes arrive flat packed, so they take up less warehouse space before use. Their shape prevents rolling on packing benches and conveyors, while integrated peel-and-seal closures make them quick to assemble without separate end caps or packing tape.
Our triangular postal tube range includes:
- A3 triangular postal tubes — 310 × 100 × 100mm
- A2 triangular postal tubes — 430 × 100 × 100mm
- A1 triangular postal tubes — 640 × 100 × 100mm
- B1 triangular postal tubes — 750 × 127 × 127mm
- A0 triangular postal tubes — 950 × 142 × 142mm
Choose round tubes when you want a ready-made format, spiral-wound strength or a particular diameter. Choose triangular tubes when flat storage, stability and tape-free assembly are priorities.
Cardboard postal tubes can be recycled
Our postal tubes are made from recycled cardboard fibres and use water-based adhesive. Round tubes can be recycled once their end caps have been removed, while triangular tubes can be recycled with standard cardboard.
Ideal for archiving, storage and creative reuse
Postal tubes can be reused many times. They are useful for archiving important documents, storing valuable prints and protecting paper from creasing. Our round tubes are UV-resistant, helping to reduce yellowing and fading during storage.
Used tubes are also useful for arts and crafts, gardening and home organisation. They can become pencil holders, model components, sapling protectors, shoe tidies or storage dividers.
Choose the right postal tube
The Packaging Club supplies UK-made round and triangular postal tubes in sizes from A3 to A0 and B0, with options for single prints, thicker rolls and multiple items. We can also provide custom sizes and branded printing for businesses that need a tailored solution.
