When your product leaves flat-and-rolled, the tube is the package — and the unboxing. NHPT supplies wide-format printers, map and poster shippers, and flag and banner makers with mailing tubes in volume, heavy-wall builds for the irreplaceable, and telescoping constructions that let one SKU cover a range of lengths.
Volume programs that hold price
From a few hundred tubes a month to national promo campaigns in the tens of thousands — 10,000-unit runs have shipped from this floor in record time, with end caps to match.
Heavy-wall for the stuff that cannot bend
Fine art, signed prints, rods, ceremonial flags: walls to .125" and beyond, specified by content weight and span. See the heavy-wall page for the build options.
Carrier math built into the spec
Length-plus-girth rules and long-package surcharges can double freight. We spec tube dimensions against your carrier rules — the mailing tube size chart guide shows how.
