A1 RECAP POSTAL TUBES

Plastic-Free A1 Recap Postal Tubes

Our A1 Recap postal tubes combine our durable cardboard tube with a fully plastic-free end cap, so posters, art prints and presentation boards travel in packaging that’s recyclable from end to end, not just the tube body. It’s our most sustainable option for the size we ship most, ideal for galleries, print shops and marketing teams who want their packaging to match their product’s credentials.

What Makes a Recap Tube Different?

Our Recap range goes further, using an upgraded end cap material designed to remove plastic from the closure entirely, without losing the grip and seal strength of a conventional plug. For galleries, agencies and businesses with a zero-plastic sourcing policy, Recap is built around that requirement specifically, rather than being a general-purpose tube that happens to be recyclable.

Built for Posters, Art Prints & Presentation Boards

A1 is our most popular standard size, and Recap tubes at this size are most often used for gallery and marketing posters, framed-ready art prints, and presentation flip-charts, where the packaging is as visible to the end customer as the print itself.

Need A Lower-Cost Standard Option?

If the Recap end cap isn’t a requirement for your shipment, our standard A1 Postal Tubes offer the same protective construction at a lower price point, with our regular plastic-free plug fitted as standard.
