Frequently Asked Questions

What type of mailing tube should I order?

That depends on what you’re sending. If you’re shipping posters, artwork, blueprints, or documents, a lightweight kraft mailing tube is usually best. For heavier or more delicate items, you’ll want a thicker-walled tube for extra strength. Yazoo offers stock mailing tubes in a wide range of diameters and lengths, plus custom options so you get the exact fit and protection you need.

What is the difference between a mailing tube and a shipping tube?

Mailing tubes are typically lighter and designed for everyday use, like sending rolled prints or promotional materials. Shipping tubes are built heavier with thicker walls to withstand rougher handling and protect heavier contents during transit. Both are durable and dependable—the choice comes down to the weight and sensitivity of what you’re shipping.

What is the difference between storage tubes and packaging/protection tubes?

Storage tubes are intended for long-term holding and organization of items like artwork, rugs, signage, or finished rolls of material. They can be customized for easy identification and retrieval. Packaging/protection tubes, on the other hand, are designed to safeguard items in transit or distribution by keeping products from bending, breaking, or being damaged during handling and shipping.

Do end plugs come with your mailing and shipping tubes?

Yes. Yazoo Mills stock mailing tubes include durable plastic end plugs that fit snugly to keep your items secure. If you need metal plugs for a more secure enclosure, those can be purchased separately by the carton or requested when purchasing custom orders.
