For years, round cardboard tubes have been the go-to solution for safely shipping paintings, prints, and posters. However, as more postal carriers automate their sorting systems, the demand for non-rolling alternatives has grown. Triangular postal tubes provide an ideal solution, as they stay in place on conveyor belts and reduce extra handling fees.
Why Choose Triangular Tubes?
Carriers often charge more for cylindrical packaging that requires manual processing. To avoid these costs, many businesses now use triangular tubes or triangular cardboard boxes, which offer excellent protection for lower-value goods.
However, for high-value items—such as fine art, photography prints, and museum-quality pieces—traditional strong round tubes remain the preferred option. To bridge this gap, innovative triangular ARO Caps allow standard round tubes to become conveyor-friendly while maintaining their durability.
Eco-Friendly and Recyclable Packaging Solutions
Choosing the right packaging is essential for both cost efficiency and sustainability. A die-cut triangular postal tube with integrated caps is made from 100% recycled materials and is fully recyclable. In contrast, a round postal tube with an ARO Cap is also recyclable but contains plastic components. For businesses aiming to eliminate plastic from their supply chain, triangular tubes offer the best eco-friendly alternative.
Custom-Made Triangular Tubes for Every Need
Whether you need triangular postal tubes, boxes, or traditional round tubes, there’s a packaging solution for every requirement. Stock sizes are widely available, but custom triangular tubes or round tubes can be made to order with specific dimensions, wall thickness, and board grades.
Tubes with a Twist
Triangular and round cardboard tubes offer secure and environmentally friendly packaging solutions. Whether you’re shipping fine art, posters, or valuable documents, choosing the right packaging ensures your items arrive safely while keeping costs down.
