Poster packaging

Posters have been packaged in tubes for many years and for good reason. It’s much safer in a poster packaging tube compared to other methods because your product is protected throughout the supply chain. So if everyone’s doing it, why would you choose Encircle? With our poster tube packing, we offer a range of different tube sizes, models and closures to suit your brand feel. In addition, our expert printing capabilities means you can think more outside the box with your packaging design, benefitting from a number of stylish finishes and features to really make your poster packaging tube stand out.

At Encircle, we’ll work closely with you to optimise your chosen print design and provide guidance on how to benefit the most from bespoke packaging for posters.

Tube options

Encircle offers three different tube designs for your products.

Standard Single Container

This comprises a single tube with a base and a lid at one end. Choose this option for the most cost-effective solution for packaging your poster.

Two-part Container

This design offers increased strength and a more premium top-shelf feel. Each part has a base and lid and slides into each other over the internal shoulder (spigot), giving a satisfying, crafted appeal to the package. Choose this option if you really wish to stand out on the shelves.

Telescopic Container

This premium double-walled design offers the highest level of protection for your fragile poster with an exciting element of theatre upon opening. This type of cardboard poster packaging uses an inner tube with an outer tube placed over the top to form a closure. Choose this design if you’re looking to deliver an exciting unboxing experience for your customer.

For all of these cardboard poster packaging options, you can expect:

  • Fully recyclable packaging
  • UK manufactured
  • Bespoke Sizes and Prints
  • Large printable area
  • Made from FSC approved material
  • All-cardboard options for easier recycling

Lid Options

Finally, each container needs a closure or lid. Select from the following options:

Curled End

The most environmentally-friendly solution for your cardboard poster packaging because the entire tube can be recycled in a single waste-stream. The ends of the container are curled and a cardboard disc is secured in place. This gives the container a very neat and crafted look.

Metal

Metal ends and lids will provide your poster packaging with style and strength, best suited for premium food products. A seamed metal end creates a permanent seal. Embossing lids with custom designs such as your logo is also an option we provide.

Plastic Caps

Provides the most effective closure system and is available in a range of sizes and colours. For a more permanent closure, caps can be stapled or riveted.

We’ll provide you with guidance on all the possibilities when it comes to printing, features and finishes so that you can supply us with a design that’s a cut above the rest.

Step 4: Production starts

We’ll print the label, add any features and finishes, wind, wrap and slit the tubes according to your preferred option and add the appropriate closures.

Step 5: Out for delivery

Once we’ve completed the batch, we’ll ship them out using the operational expertise of our parent company Stell Cardboard Tubes and Cores.
