# Shipping tubes

*Ship posters, drawings, calendars and other rolled printed matter safely from A to B with a cardboard shipping tube or longbox from Kortpack. Round poster tubes and rectangular longboxes, available from stock in sizes A0 to A3.*

## **Shipping tubes and longboxes in sturdy cardboard**

A shipping tube is the ideal way to send rolled printed matter undamaged. Roll up your poster, technical drawing or calendar, slide it inside and close the tube – keeping it protected against bending, creasing and moisture. Kortpack offers two shapes: the round poster tube with end caps and the rectangular longbox with a self-adhesive strip.

The round tube closes at both ends with the supplied caps and is ideal for posters and drawings. The rectangular longbox has an opening on the short side with a self-adhesive closure and stacks better. Because a longbox cannot roll off the sorting belt, many carriers charge lower handling costs for it than for a round tube – often saving you on shipping.
