Discover the cardboard tube

When designing or set building involving cylindrical or part cylindrical shapes have you ever considered using cardboard tubes? We specialise in supplying tubes in various forms for the TV, film, advertising, conference, exhibition and shop display industries.
Our cardboard tubes will surprise you in a number of ways.
Uses

To fuel your imaginations select "uses and users" for a sample of some of the past uses or our tubes. Through projects with design colleagues prototypes for lighting systems and furniture (display cabinets, shelving system and chairs) have been produced. In addition we wish to encourage designers and others to widen the boundaries or recognised uses for tubes.
Finish
The outer surface can be covered with a decorative finish. They are also smooth enough to take most paint finishes direct but can be covered with lining paper if required.
Strength
During construction the cardboard tube can be sawn, screwed or stapled. In drum form it is quite capable of supporting items as heavy as, say, a washing machine.
Range
See the enquiries section for a full range or diameters.
Availability
As and area we specialise in, your order is given priority. Like any other manufacturer we prefer as much notice as possible, but often have provided a same or next day service.
Fire Rating
The tubes are made or multi-layers or cardboard compressed together. In itself not very combustible, but a simple application of fire retardant liquid, such as Broguard, will satisfy and recongnised test for fire resistance.
Price
While there are bound to be exceptions, the cardboard tube can offer significant savings over other means of creating cylindrical forms.
