Beyond the Scroll: The Ultimate Protection of Our Durable Plastic Mailing Tubes

In the world of art, architecture, and design, the "finish line" isn't when you put the pen down—it’s when your work arrives safely in the hands of your client.

Standard cardboard tubes have long been the industry norm, but they have their weaknesses: they soften in the rain, they can be crushed under heavy mailbags, and they eventually fray. At Nexton Crafts, we’ve leveled up. Our premium Matte Black Mailing Tubes are crafted from high-grade, durable plastic, offering a level of permanence and protection that cardboard simply cannot match.

Engineered for the Elements

When you are transporting an A0-sized masterpiece, "good enough" isn't enough. By using durable plastic, we’ve created a storage and transit solution that is:

  • Weatherproof: Rain or high humidity won't compromise the structural integrity of the tube or the safety of the paper inside.

  • Crush-Resistant: Unlike paper-based tubes that can dent or crease, our plastic tubes maintain their cylindrical shape under pressure, ensuring your work never arrives with a fold.

  • Professional Aesthetic: The deep black, satin-finish plastic looks sophisticated and high-end, instantly elevating the perceived value of the contents.

Two Sizes, One Standard of Excellence

Whether you are an architect carrying blueprints to a construction site or an artist shipping a limited edition print, we have the right fit for your A0 documents.

Versatility in Size: From A4 to A0

One of the most common frustrations for artists and engineers is finding a tube that actually fits large-format work without forcing it into a tight, damaging coil.

Our tubes are specifically designed to hold up to A0 size paper. By providing ample length and sturdy walls, these tubes ensure your documents remain crease-free and ready for framing or presentation the moment they are slid out.


Choosing the Right Diameter

We offer two distinct sizes to cater to the volume and thickness of your projects:

DiameterBest For...Price
6cm DiameterSingle A0/A1 prints, thin posters, and delicate sketches. Lightweight and sleek.900 KSh
8cm DiameterMultiple sheets, heavy-duty canvas paper, or blueprints that need a wider roll to prevent curling.1,200 KSh

Built for the Journey

A mailing tube is only as good as its durability. Our tubes feature:

  • Impact Resistance: Heavy-duty walls that prevent crushing during transit.

  • Secure End Caps: Tight-fitting seals that keep dust, moisture, and curious hands away from your work.

  • Reusable Design: These aren't "one-and-done" items. They are sturdy enough to be used for long-term storage in your studio, keeping your archives safe from sunlight and humidity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can these tubes really hold A0 size paper? Yes! Our tubes are specifically designed to accommodate the length of A0 paper (841 x 1189 mm). They provide plenty of room to ensure your largest documents fit comfortably without the edges getting damaged.

2. Why should I choose plastic over traditional cardboard? Cardboard is prone to moisture damage and can be easily crushed or bent during shipping. Our durable plastic tubes are waterproof and impact-resistant, making them a much safer choice for high-value artwork, legal documents, or architectural plans.

3. Which diameter should I choose: 6cm or 8cm? * 6cm (900 KSh): Best for single prints or lightweight posters. It’s slimmer and easier to carry.

  • 8cm (1,200 KSh): Best for thicker materials (like canvas or heavy cardstock) or when you need to roll several sheets together. The wider diameter also means the paper is rolled less tightly, which helps it lay flat faster once removed.

4. Are the end caps secure? Absolutely. Our tubes come with tight-sealing end caps designed to stay in place during transit. For extra peace of mind during international shipping, they can also be easily reinforced with a small piece of tape.

5. Can I reuse these tubes? Yes, that is the beauty of the plastic design! They are incredibly sturdy and can be used for years as permanent storage in your studio or for repeatedly transporting documents to and from job sites.

6. Do you offer delivery within Kenya? We certainly do. You can order directly through NextonCrafts.com, and we will ensure your tubes are delivered safely to your doorstep.
