B1 RECAP POSTAL TUBES

Please note: All B1 tubes are now 745mm in length (changed from 757mm)

Plastic-Free B1 Recap Postal Tubes

Our B1 Recap postal tubes combine our durable cardboard tube with a fully plastic-free end cap, so European-format posters and gallery prints travel in packaging that’s recyclable from end to end, not just the tube body. It’s a sustainable option for agencies and galleries shipping to European clients who expect plastic-free credentials as standard.

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 design agencies and galleries with a zero-plastic sourcing policy, or preparing for evolving European packaging regulations, Recap is built around that requirement specifically, rather than being a general-purpose tube that happens to be recyclable.

Built for European Posters & Gallery Prints

B1 is a popular European print format, and Recap tubes at this size are most often used for travel and gallery posters, European retail point-of-sale prints, and design agency artwork for EU clients, where the packaging often needs to reflect the same sustainability standards as the print itself.

Need A Lower-Cost Standard Option?

If the Recap end cap isn’t a requirement for your shipment, our standard B1 Postal Tubes offer the same protective construction at a lower price point, with our regular plastic-free plug fitted as standard.
