Do you want to know which are the best shipping tubes? Then we invite you to read this article, we will give you the best solutions!

Mainly, shipping tubes are great for packaging and storage. For example, they are good for sending posters, large documents and even engineering parts. In short: anything that is long and narrow. Thus, shipping tubes exist in various shapes and sizes, including triangular ones that can be stacked.

They therefore offer a safe way to store things, protecting from dust, dirt and moisture.

What are the best tubes for sending by post?

At the outset, not everything fits into postboxes. So documents, maps, posters, etc. need to be stored, transported or sent and tubes are used for this.

Likewise, tubes offer a pleasant, simple and above all strong way of storing and sending a wide range of delicate products. They are therefore made of a thick cardboard and are also composed of very resistant plastic caps.

What can I send in the tubes?

Mainly, the resistance and protection that these tubes offer is ideal for storing and transporting all kinds of things. However, their main use is for posters, large format documents or maps. With the covers on, these objects are protected from dirt, humidity, tears, folds and all the other things that can happen.

However, the tubes are not only intended for handling posters. It is enough to be any long, narrow object that can be rolled up and fits into the wide range of tube sizes available.

Since they exist in various shapes, they are also available in various thicknesses. While they range from the lightest to tubes made of heavy-duty cardboard with a thickness of 3.5 mm, they are very sturdy.

It is important to point out that when choosing the correct length of tube, you must also take into consideration the space the lid takes up as it will still take up several centimetres of the tube’s length.

Are cardboard tubes safe?

Cardboard tubes are ideal for storing and transporting delicate products such as large documents, posters, maps and more. They are therefore also very safe. Thanks to their edges, these tubes are very sturdy when it comes to stacking, as well as when they are sent by post.

Unlike most plastic caps, the ones that show signs of opening are designed to fit perfectly on the end of the tube and can only be removed if the top of the tube is damaged. Once opened, the cap is still intact enough to prevent damage to its contents, keeping objects safe. However, if someone tried to open it during transport, damage to the tube surface is evident.

In order to keep everything safe, you can even get spare caps, so that you can continue to reuse the tubes even if the caps are damaged or lost.

What are the best tubes for posters?

The main use of tubes is for posters. Any e-commerce company that sells things like posters, maps or even documents needs to use a tube. Not just for mailing, but also for getting things from the shop to your home.

The best tubes for posters are those that are long enough to cover the length of the posters and with a suitable diameter so that the poster or document to be placed is not too tight.

At RAJA we offer square tubes with adhesive closure. This type of tube saves time thanks to its automatic bottom locking by simply pressing the sides. They are also very secure and practical as they have an adhesive strip closure and quick opening on the micro-perforated strip.

Besides round and square tubes there are also triangular tubes. Triangular tubes are also made of thick cardboard and offer an extra level of protection for objects. In this sense, they also have the added advantage that they can be stacked more easily and do not roll around on all sides.

The extra-large sizes of the triangular tubes, up to 1100 mm long, are ideal for plants, industrial projects, or for long or cylindrical parts. Quick to assemble, they are also developed with a very strong adhesive band.

Why reuse tubes?

As well as being really perfect for transporting and storing plants, posters, documents and even engineering parts, tubes also have a great ‘second life’. Why not get creative with your postal tubes and offer them other uses?
