When shipping Christmas / Holiday gifts to friends, family, customers or employees, you want the receiver to feel like you took time in preparing and packaging their gift. You do not want it to look rushed and impersonal. Your defeating the purpose of even sending a gift.

Packaging makes a difference! Colorful Packaging and Shipping Supplies will make your packages look festive and fun.

Maybe your logo in on a shirt, that shirt can be rolled in such a way that the logo is view-able through the tube. Again, we have seen recipients reuse these tubes in their kitchens, garages, work shops, fishing boats, office, etc.

  Color Cardboard Mailing Tubes come in many colors, such as Black, Blue, Red, Green, Gold, Silver and Yellow. Again, go with the traditional Christmas Holiday color theme's, or maybe you brand these packages with the colors of your corporate logo?

 White Mailing Tubes are clean and professional. They give a nice impression and can be dressed up with stickers, color carton sealing tape or maybe even a note written on the outside of the tube.

  Brown Kraft Cardboard Mailing Tubes come in a wider variety of diameters and lengths compared to the white or color mailing tubes. These would be ideal for items that may not fit in one of the other tube options. These are available in Jumbo Mailing Tube Sizes, Premium Telescoping Mailing Tubes for extra long items, Adjustable Mailing Tubes and Crimped End Mailing Tubes.
