Heavy Duty Shipping Tubes, Shipping Tubes, Cardboard Tubes

I am always in awe when I go to the movies and sit in front of that huge screen where a story comes to life.  I am able to cast aside my worries and life hardships to enjoy time just watching the action in front of me without caring what is going on in the outside world.  The flawless continuity of the screen helps us forget that what we see before us is not reality, but a visual phenomenon.

Aside from the movie being projected, the screen itself is a marvel.  The sheer awesomeness of the purity from top to bottom, and left to right, is to be recognized.  What many fail to appreciate is that the slightest imperfection such as a tear, or a crease in the screen would compromise the integrity of the movie causing disruption and distraction in the viewing process.  So how do companies preserve this integrity?

Shipping tubes.

Shipping tubes are the most effective way to ship, transport and store large, industrial products such as movie screens, billboard ads, and large artwork canvases while protecting the integrity of the product.

Don’t think heavy duty shipping tubes are that important? Imagine going to the movie theater and watching a movie on a screen with giant creases, rips or tears on the screen…a direct result of poor packing and shipping.

Spiral Paper Tube & Core manufactures a wide variety of light-weight and heavy-duty shipping tubes that are custom manufactured to best fit the desired inside diameter, length, thickness and appearance – adding a one color flexographic print to the inside or outside of the shipping tube helps increase product recognition, branding and handling instructions.

These environmentally-friendly cardboard tubes are made with 100% recycled paper and are most economical when ordered in Kraft brown. Custom colors are also available.

Heavy-duty self locking metal ends are available and are most often used to secure heavy industrial products. Shipping tubes are ideal when shipping industrial products such as heavy threaded rods, automotive parts, long, heavy poles, over-sized signage, theater screens, canvas art, etc.

In addition to adding aesthetic, colorful printing and colors, specialty paper is also available to serve functional needs. Water-resistant paper (uncoated kraft paper on one side with a clear, poly coating on the other side) helps protect the paper tube from absorbing unwanted moisture.
