Poster tubes – the best protection for your prints!

Posters, maps, technical drawings, photographs, and other large-format prints require appropriate protection during transport and storage. Simply folding them in half can lead to unsightly creases, and a lack of protection during transport means they can get damaged. That is why poster tubes are the perfect solution – they effectively protect the contents from damage, moisture, and dirt, keeping them in pristine condition for a long time without unnecessary creases.

Poster tubes – why are they so important?

If you sell posters, marketing materials, printed artwork, or photo wallpapers, store valuable drawings, or frequently ship large-format printed materials, proper packaging is essential. Why? Imagine this scenario: a customer orders the perfect print they plan to frame in their living room, waits for it eagerly, and when it finally arrives… it’s all wrinkled and only fit for the trash. Imagine their frustration and the complaints directed at your company… To avoid such a situation, be sure to equip your shipping department with the right protective materials! In this case, a poster tube guarantees full security – it not only facilitates transport, but also protects against accidental mechanical damage.

Does a tube need additional filling?

Cardboard tubes themselves provide good protection against creases, moisture, and dirt. However, in some cases, it’s worth considering adding extra filling inside the tube. When should you use filling in a poster tube?

• Delicate materials: If you’re shipping or storing particularly valuable or delicate works, art pieces, or archival documents, additional filling can provide more stabilization and protection.
• Long-distance transport: When shipping over large distances, where there’s a higher risk of jolts and vibrations, filling can cushion potential impacts.
• Excess space inside the tube: If, for various reasons, the tube is slightly larger than the print itself, filling helps prevent the contents from shifting and getting damaged.

So, which filling is best?

• Packing paper: An eco-friendly option that provides good protection against scratches and light bumps.
• Bubble wrap: Offers excellent cushioning, protecting against stronger impacts.
• Polyethylene foam: Lightweight and flexible, ideal for protecting delicate surfaces.

Naturally, you can find all these filling materials at Boxmarket.

Poster tubes – who needs them?

Poster tubes are a must-have for many industries and individuals who deal with large-format prints on a daily basis. They’re especially useful for:

• Advertising agencies – for transporting promotional and marketing materials,
• Artists and illustrators – for safely storing and shipping their works,
• Engineers and architects – for protecting plans, technical drawings, and documentation,
• Collectors and poster enthusiasts – for long-term storage of valuable pieces,
• Online stores and wholesalers – for shipping posters and prints to customers.

How to choose the perfect poster tube?

When selecting the right tube for a poster, pay attention to a few key factors:

• Size – match the tube to the format of the posters you plan to store inside,
• Material – if you plan to store prints for a long time, choose reinforced tubes,
• Type of closure – it should be secure so the tube doesn’t accidentally open (for extra safety, reinforce it with tape).
