Frequently Asked Questions
What are triangular postal tubes?
Triangular postal tubes are flat-packed corrugated packaging designed for sending and storing posters, prints, artwork, plans and other rolled documents or long items. Once assembled, the triangular profile helps the packaging sit securely without rolling like a traditional cylindrical tube.
Why choose triangular postal tubes instead of round tubes?
The triangular shape helps prevent rolling during storage and handling, making the tubes easier to stack on shelves, packing benches and in storage areas. They are supplied flat-packed, so they take up less space before use.
What can I send in a triangular postal tube?
Triangular postal tubes are suitable for posters, art prints, artwork, photography, plans, drawings, maps, calendars and other rolled documents. They can also be used for suitable long items, provided the item fits the product’s listed dimensions.

Which triangular postal tube size should I choose?
Choose the tube based on the length, format and rolled diameter of the item being sent. Check the individual product page for exact dimensions, pack quantities and carrier requirements.
The item should fit comfortably without being forced into the tube, as this can make removal difficult or damage the contents.

Do triangular postal tubes need additional packaging tape or end caps?
The current range information refers to integrated end tabs and peel-and-seal closure. Confirm the exact closure supplied with each product before stating whether additional tape or end caps are required.
Are triangular postal tubes recyclable, biodegradable or plastic-free?
The tubes are made from corrugated board, but recycling and environmental claims depend on the exact board, adhesive and closure configuration. Only describe a product as recyclable, biodegradable or plastic-free where the relevant product documentation supports the claim.
Are the Royal Mail triangular postal tubes suitable for Royal Mail?
