Cardboard Tubes – More Than Just a Roll

A cardboard tube is a smart kind of box that snugly wraps posters, shields technical drawings, and protects material samples and oversize documents. Whenever your paper creation is too large to fold and needs to travel crease-free, the safest move is to roll it up and pop it into a Boxmarket tube!

Hello! I’m a Cardboard Tube!

When we picture boxes, we usually think of classic rectangular cartons. Yet not every box looks that way, and the “standard” shape isn’t always the best guardian. Paper tubes are a perfect example of an innovative answer to unusual transport and storage challenges. So—when do these long, narrow cartons earn their keep?

Many industries already rely on cardboard tubes, and their popularity keeps climbing. Here are the most common moments when tubes take centre stage:

• Architectural plans, maps, and certificates – Large-format documents are naturally prone to creasing, tearing, or other mishaps in transit (which can even void the paperwork and force a reprint). Cardboard tubes not only protect them on the road but also keep them neat in storage. Thanks to a rigid build and snug fit, documents arrive pristine and presentation-ready, while the parcel itself stays compact and professional.
• Posters, banners, roll-ups, and oversized flyers – These marketing pieces often travel long distances before reaching an event, stand, or display point. Rolled up and safely sealed in cardboard tubes, they’re shielded from moisture, dust, and accidental folds. Because first impressions matter, tubes make sure every graphic still looks fresh off the press—crisp, clean, and perfectly flat!
• Photographs, art prints, murals, handmade items – Delicate and often costly, these pieces deserve packaging that both protects and highlights their value. Cardboard tubes tick both boxes, delivering maximum safety with a premium feel.
• Technical samples – Long rods, prototypes, or awkwardly shaped fragile parts need millimetre-perfect protection. Here, cardboard tubes score 100 %, proving they suit any sector—because even engineers and builders handle products as delicate as a sheet of paper.

Boxmarket & Cardboard Tubes – Quality with Class

Boxmarket loves choice, so our tubes come in five sizes to fit contents perfectly—no wasted space, no squeezing, no ugly bends. And we’re flexible too! If you have a special idea or a non-standard product, we can create a tube tailored exactly to your needs.

Our Tubeboxes are made from three-ply B-flute board. What does that mean? Your package shrugs off top-down pressure, stays lightweight, and offers an extra-smooth surface—ideal for printing and branding. We provide high-quality customisation, from design advice to flawless execution, so your tubes really stand out.

Every tube features a self-seal strip for quick, airtight closure—no packing tape required. A tear-off strip makes opening effortless without harming the contents. In short: secure, solid closure and safe, speedy opening!
