A0 RECAP POSTAL TUBES

Please note: A0 tubes are now 871mm long (changed from 891mm)

Plastic-Free A0 Recap Postal Tubes

Our A0 Recap postal tubes combine our standard heavy-duty, 100% recycled cardboard tube with a fully plastic-free end cap, so the entire tube, cap included, is recyclable, not just the cardboard body. Designed for A0-sized posters, architectural drawings and exhibition artwork, this is our most sustainable option for large-format shipping.

What Makes a Recap Tube Different?

Our Recap range goes a step further, using an upgraded end cap material built specifically to eliminate plastic from the closure entirely, while matching the strength and grip of a conventional plug. If you’re preparing for upcoming plastic packaging legislation, or your business has a zero-plastic sourcing policy, Recap is built for that requirement specifically, rather than being a general-purpose tube that happens to be recyclable.

Built for Large-Format & Technical Prints

A0 is our largest standard paper size, and Recap tubes in this size are most commonly used by architecture practices, construction firms, and exhibition or print bureaux shipping full-scale drawings, plotter prints, and trade-show graphics where both strength and plastic-free credentials matter.

Need A Lower-Cost Standard Option?

If the Recap end cap isn’t a requirement for your shipment, our standard A0 Postal Tubes offer the same protective, heavy-duty construction at a lower price point, with our regular plastic-free plug fitted as standard.
