    Square Shipping Tubes

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Shipping Tubes. Square Shipping Tubes.
    Because of their square shape, these tubes won't roll away. They can be stacked, and the flat surface is easier to label than a round surface. Use them to protect long, thin objects during shipping. Close by tucking tabs into their slots. Shipped flat.
    32 ECT—They meet 32 ECT (32 lbs. per inch), which is comparable to a 200-lb. burst strength. Edge Crush Test (ECT) standards measure the amount of force a carton can withstand before the edges collapse.

    Secure drill bits and other long, sharp items firmly in place for storage or transit. The end caps on these shipping tubes have an internal holder that keeps your item centered between the walls of the tube. The walls of the tube prevent the item in the holder from damaging nearby objects, and they prevent dust, water, and debris from building on your shipment. Because the tubes are square, they won’t roll away. Their flat surface makes them easy to label and stack. These tubes have grooves on the open end that click into place for a secure hold. The end caps have ribbed edges for extra grip, making it easier to push the end cap in or pull it out of the tube.
    Choose an end cap that matches the diameter of your item. Choose a short or a long tube based on the length of your item.

    Rectangular Adjustable-Length Shipping Tubes

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Shipping Tubes. Rectangular Adjustable-Length Shipping Tubes.
    Less likely to tip over or roll around during shipping compared to round and square tubes, these tubes are wider and flatter. The flat surface makes them easy to label and stack. They’re often used to protect blades and other long, thin objects. Push the ends together or pull them apart to adjust the length.
