A2 RECAP POSTAL TUBES

Plastic-Free A2 Recap Postal Tubes

Our A2 Recap postal tubes combine our durable cardboard tube with a fully plastic-free end cap, so retail graphics, signage and mid-size prints travel in packaging that’s recyclable from end to end, not just the tube body. It’s a sustainable option that suits businesses shipping regular batches of point-of-sale material where packaging choices add up.

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 retailers and agencies with a zero-plastic sourcing policy, or those preparing for upcoming packaging legislation, Recap is built around that requirement specifically, rather than being a general-purpose tube that happens to be recyclable.

Built for Retail Graphics & Mid-Size Prints

A2 sits between full poster size and desk-friendly documents, and Recap tubes at this size are most often used for retail point-of-sale graphics, in-store signage, larger certificates and awards, and mid-size technical drawings, where sustainability credentials matter as much as protection.

Need A Lower-Cost Standard Option?

If the Recap end cap isn’t a requirement for your shipment, our standard A2 Postal Tubes offer the same protective construction at a lower price point, with our regular plastic-free plug fitted as standard.
