The 1000 Mm Brown Cardboard Tube Protector combines durability and sustainability to safeguard long, cylindrical items during storage and transit. Crafted from 100% recycled kraft paper (3–6 mm wall thickness) with a high-density fiber structure, this tube features a 1000 mm length—ideal for items exceeding standard packaging dimensions—and a customizable diameter (5–50 mm) to ensure a precise fit. FSC-certified and fully recyclable, it replaces plastic and metal tubes in industries like construction, art, and manufacturing, reducing material costs by 25% while cutting environmental impact. Its robust construction withstands rigorous handling, making it a reliable choice for both short-distance deliveries and long-haul shipping.
Material: Recycled kraft paper (3–6 mm wall thickness, 40% post-consumer recycled content)
Dimensions: Length: 1000 mm (±2 mm tolerance), Inner Diameter: 5–50 mm (customizable in 1 mm increments)
Certifications: FSC chain-of-custody certification, BPI-compliant for industrial compostability, CE marked for EU markets
Weight Capacity: 3 mm wall: 5 kg (static load), 6 mm wall: 10 kg (static load); dynamic load 60% of static
Compression Strength: ≥1000 N (longitudinal) for 3 mm walls; ≥1800 N for 6 mm walls
Finish: Smooth or ribbed surface (ribbed option improves grip by 25% for handling)
Water Resistance: Basic moisture resistance; optional poly-coating adds 72-hour water protection
Extended Length
The 1000 mm design eliminates the need for multiple shorter tubes, reducing packaging waste by 40% for long items like pipes, cables, and rolled materials. Its uniform length simplifies inventory management and shipping logistics.
Customizable Diameter
Available in diameters from 5–50 mm, it ensures a snug fit for diverse cylindrical products—from small metal rods (5 mm) to large irrigation tubing (50 mm). Custom diameters reduce product movement by 95% during transit.
Eco-Friendly Construction
Made from recycled materials and fully recyclable, it diverts 0.8 kg of waste from landfills per tube. Its production uses 60% less energy than plastic tube manufacturing and generates zero toxic byproducts.
Cost-Effective
Lightweight yet robust, it lowers shipping costs by 15% compared to metal tubes, while its recyclable nature reduces disposal fees. Bulk pricing starts at 1000 units, with discounts for repeat orders.
Construction: Protects rebar, copper pipes, electrical cables, and insulation rolls during transport to job sites.
Art & Design: Ships rolled carpets, vinyl banners, architectural plans, and canvas prints without creasing or tearing.
Manufacturing: Secures metal rods, plastic tubing, textile rolls, and industrial filaments during production and distribution.
Agriculture: Stores and transports irrigation tubing, fencing materials, and seed tapes, with moisture-resistant options for outdoor storage.
Aerospace & Automotive: Protects small cylindrical components like hoses, wires, and fasteners during supply chain transit.
Q: Can the tube be cut to shorter lengths?
A: Yes. It can be easily trimmed with a utility knife, box cutter, or industrial tube cutter, allowing customization to exact length requirements. For clean cuts, we recommend using a guide to ensure straight edges.
Q: Is it suitable for outdoor storage?
A: While it has basic water resistance, prolonged exposure to rain or high humidity may weaken the cardboard. For outdoor use, our poly-coated variant features a water-resistant layer that protects against 72 hours of continuous moisture.
Q: What is the maximum recommended diameter?
A: The standard 6 mm wall thickness supports up to 50 mm diameter for most applications. For larger diameters (51–100 mm), custom heavy-duty variants with 8–10 mm walls are available by request.
Q: Can I add padding inside the tube?
A: Yes. We offer kraft paper wraps (biodegradable) or foam inserts (recyclable) for added cushioning, ideal for delicate items like glass tubing or precision metal parts.
Q: How does it compare to plastic tubes?
A: It offers equivalent strength for most applications at 25% lower cost, while being fully recyclable and biodegradable. Unlike plastic, it won’t crack in cold temperatures or leach chemicals, making it safer for food and medical applications.
