Frequently Asked Questions

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

A mailing tube is designed for sending items through the mail or parcel carriers and is typically lightweight yet sturdy enough for everyday use. A shipping tube, on the other hand, is built with heavier walls and stronger construction to handle bulkier or more delicate items. Mailing tubes are best for lighter duty mailing needs, while shipping tubes are better suited for larger or heavier items that may face rough handling in transit.

When should I consider a custom shipping tube over a mailing tube?

Choose a shipping tube when your product needs extra protection, crush-resistant strength, or custom sizing beyond standard mailing tubes. Yazoo Mills offers custom tubes from ¾″ I.D. to 20″ I.D. (based on ID) with walls from 0.25″ to 0.660″—ideal for longer, heavier, or more fragile items. Custom options include reinforced ends, thicker walls, and branded printing, all backed by Yazoo’s 48-hour turnaround and consistent quality.
