Document Mailing Tubes

Custom document mailing tubes

Some documents should not be folded. Certificates, architectural drawings, maps, prints and posters travel best when they stay rolled, and a mailing tube keeps them that way. Our document mailing tubes are made to the length and diameter you need and printed with your branding, so a plain postal item becomes a professional, well-presented delivery.

What goes in a document tube

• Drawings and plans: architects, engineers and surveyors who send rolled sheets to clients and contractors.
• Certificates and awards: schools, colleges, clubs and event organisers.
• Artwork and prints: artists and print shops sending work to customers.
• Posters and maps: retailers and publishers shipping larger sheets.

For more specialised tubes, see blueprint mailing tubes, artwork mailing tubes and poster mailing tubes, or browse all mailing tubes.

Getting the size right

Measure the length of the sheet and decide how loosely or tightly you roll it. The tube should be a little longer than the roll, with a diameter that lets the document slide in without forcing it. Send us your dimensions and we will make the tube to fit. If you would like to see a shape first, use the Box Studio.

Protection in the post

A tube is more rigid than an envelope, so rolled documents are less likely to crease. We make tubes with end closures, and you should test a sample with your own documents and carrier before ordering in volume. If your documents need extra care, consider placing them in a protective sleeve before rolling. We do not make claims about waterproofing or specific postal performance, so please test for your own needs.

Printing and branding

Add your logo, brand colours, return address or a short message to the outside. Free design support is included, and you approve a digital proof before anything is printed.

Flat documents instead?

If your documents can lie flat, cardboard document envelopes may be a better fit. You can also look at cardboard photo envelopes, cardboard envelopes, custom envelopes and custom padded envelopes. For larger or heavier parcels, see shipping boxes and tube boxes.
