Unobtrusive and ubiquitous – it’s a paper tube

Some things that are part of everyday life we use without thinking about it. They are just part of life, they have always been part of life. Take pipes, tubes, pipes, tubes. From reed tubes, to binoculars for stargazing, blowpipes as a weapon for poison darts used by various tribes, pipe mail or simply straws for drinking delicious cocktails – tubes are simply everywhere.

They also have a tradition in the world of music – as musical instruments: the indigenous people of Australia have been playing the 2.5 metre long wind instrument Didgeridoo for almost 40,000 years. It is shaped like a tube and was originally a hollowed-out hollow stem of a eucalyptus tree eaten by termites. Not made of paper, as used by musicians in faraway lands. But it is here – for our purposes, cardboard is the best material.

Et voilà: you probably won’t play any tunes with our brown or white paper tubes , but you can certainly send or store large-format documents neatly and safely with them. Today, no large or small printing company, poster dealers, architectural, cartographic or other design offices, and more and more companies can do without a “regular” paper tube for mailing or archiving posters, plans, paintings, maps or sketches or other oblong goods. Among the wide range of variations and sizes you are sure to find the right size!

Paper tubes can be sent by regular mail and ensure the integrity of the contents during delivery to the recipient thanks to the stable, spiral twisted adhesive. And to ensure that nothing spills out, two plastic lids are included for each mailing tube.

You may just become aware of all the possible tubes and pipes in your area after reading this informative blog. For example, the very popular and stylish “tube” pants in the past, or take a trip to the Moravian Troubles, for example.
