B2 RECAP POSTAL TUBES

Plastic-Free B2 Recap Postal Tubes

Our B2 Recap postal tubes combine our durable cardboard tube with a fully plastic-free end cap, so compact European-format prints and flyers travel in packaging that’s recyclable from end to end, not just the tube body. It’s a sustainable option for businesses exporting to European clients or retailers where plastic-free packaging is increasingly expected.

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 businesses 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 Compact European-Format Prints

B2 is a practical middle-ground European size, and Recap tubes at this size are most often used for rolled flyers and brochures for export, smaller promotional prints, and photography prints in B-series format, where the print run and the packaging both need to meet European sustainability expectations.

Need A Lower-Cost Standard Option?

If the Recap end cap isn’t a requirement for your shipment, our standard B2 Postal Tubes offer the same protective construction at a lower price point, with our regular plastic-free plug fitted as standard.
