Kraft Mailing Tube

The details

Kraft Mailing Tube

The Kraft Mailing Tube uses a lighter spiral-wound kraft wall than our rigid cardboard tube, built for direct-to-customer shipping where keeping weight and cost down matters more than surviving a warehouse forklift. It’s still sturdy enough to protect a candle, a small gift set, or a stack of printed goods in transit, and the natural kraft base takes print cleanly whether you’re going for a rustic look or a bold full-color wrap. Recessed metal or kraft end caps close the tube and can be branded to match.

Because the wall is thinner than our heavyweight tube, print sits closer to the surface and reads crisp even in smaller text, which makes this a good option for brands that want ingredient lists, care instructions, or a return address printed directly on the packaging instead of a separate label. Digital printing keeps setup costs down on shorter runs, and we can switch to offset for larger orders where color consistency across thousands of units matters.

This is the tube most direct-to-consumer candle and gift brands start with, since it ships flat-rate friendly and looks intentional straight out of the mailbox rather than like an afterthought. Subscription box companies use it as the outer shipper for a single item, and small gift shops use it to mail single candles or bath products without needing a separate shipping box on top.

If most of your orders go straight to a customer’s door, the Kraft Mailing Tube keeps shipping weight down while still making the unboxing feel deliberate. Get a quote on the Kraft Mailing Tube and we’ll send a free mockup within 24 hours so you can see the print before you order.
