What is a Mailing Tube?
A mailing tube is a cylindrical container, usually made of corrugated, also known as cardboard, designed for shipping items that should not be folded or creased during transport. These tubes come in various sizes and are sealed at both ends to provide protection to their contents. They are commonly used for shipping items like posters, artwork, blueprints, rolled-up documents, or fragile objects that require extra care during shipping.
Mailing tubes are a practical choice for businesses and individuals seeking to ensure their items arrive in excellent condition. They offer a straightforward and secure way to package and ship a variety of items that may not fit into standard packaging options, safeguarding them from damage during transit.

Flexography (also known as flexo) is a printing process that uses flexible relief plates made of rubber or photopolymer to transfer ink onto various substrates, such as corrugated, plastic films, and paper. It is a high-speed, cost-effective printing method that is suitable for printing on rough, porous, and irregular surfaces.
Lithography is a printing technique that uses a flat printing plate, a special kind of ink, and oil-based or water-based liquids to transfer an image onto a substrate. It produces high-quality, sharp and clear prints that are suitable for printing high-resolution graphics and text.
