A new generation of postal tube packaging
Introducing our moulded fibre postal tube end caps. Designed as a sustainable replacement for traditional plastic end caps, it securely seals cardboard postal tubes used to ship posters, artwork, maps, architectural drawings, promotional materials, and other rolled products. It delivers the strength and protection needed throughout the supply chain while helping businesses transition to plastic-free packaging.
A smarter way to seal postal tubes
Manufactured from a specially developed blend of FSC-certified natural materials, our postal tube end caps provide a high-performance alternative to conventional plastic closures. They offer the durability and structural strength required to protect rolled products during storage, handling, and transportation while being 100% plastic-free, recyclable, and compostable.
Compatible with standard 2", 3", and 4" postal tubes, the end caps integrate seamlessly into existing packaging operations without requiring any equipment changes. Available from July 2026, they offer businesses an easy transition to a more sustainable packaging solution without compromising performance.
Why was it developed?
Postal tubes are a go-to choice for shipping posters, artwork, architectural plans, maps, promotional materials, and other rolled documents. While cardboard postal and mailing tubes have long been widely recyclable, plastic end caps have historically limited the ability of the overall packaging to be fully recyclable.
We set out to change that. Following extensive product development and material testing, we created a formulation that meets the performance demands of real-world logistics while eliminating plastic entirely, without compromising on strength, reliability, or performance. The result is a practical solution that helps businesses reduce plastic packaging and prepare for evolving packaging legislation, including PPWR requirements.
