I purchased the mailing tubes for my wife to ship Christmas door and wall hangings with dowels to hang. She rolls the panel and puts it in the tube. Nothing could be simpler!! The tubes are thick walled and perfect protection.
I liked these mailing tubes because they are solid and easy to use. All the tubes I have mailed so far have made to the clients. All you can ask.The price was good and I could order just 12 instead of the 36 minimum required by other companies.
When sending out Family Genealogy charts to various relatives a good tube beats a 24" X 36 envelope when chart might be 54" long and has to be handled by a dozen different people to make the trip
These tubes are sturdy and well made. They shipped to my home without charge and arrived within two days of my order at the store. The end caps fit perfectly. This is a good product. A little pricey perhaps but not the usual product that everyone may want so it works for me.
I have been looking for a storage solution for my large dishwasher seasonal magnets for quite some time. One day while shopping for ink I saw the mailing tubes and thought it would be perfect for my magnets. So I purchased a case of 12. I rolled and placed each magnet in a tube capped it and labeled it with a number. The number 1 would be for a January magnet number 2 would be February etc. Each magnet for the month would have its own tube. I keep the tubes in the box they came in and attached a file folder to the box which holds a computer list telling me the exact magnet that is in each tube (ie. hearts for February Shamrocks for March etc.) Now I can readily know by the numbers 1-12 exactly which month I want and because each has its own container I am able to quickly put it back in the proper container for the future and it keep them in good condition. Thank you Staples for helping me to order them and the convenience of having them sent directly to my home. Love your store and the services you provide! Thanks! A loyal customer
