Here at Fastpack, we're always happy to share information about innovative mailing products and even better, we enjoy sharing the creative uses our staff and customers come up with when it comes to a particular product. One of the most versatile mail/shipping options we carry is our clear plastic mailing and shipping tubes, cylinder-shaped see through containers that let your professionalism shine through.
Our clear plastic mailing tubes can easily handle heavier items and protect them from wet weather and they are tough enough to withstand shipping/handling. You can use these tubes to ship parts, toys, brochures, posters, invitations, and literature (will guarantee the publisher opens your mail) or creatively packed business presentations or product samples. When it comes to doing business a little creativity and branding will even cancel out your mailing and supply costs because smart marketing leads to higher response rates and sales. Because of the clear plastic tube's shape and appearance, they stand out from traditional cardboard mailing tubes and the receiver is sure to hang on to the handy, reusable mailing tube which can be a constant reminder of your creativity thanks to the branded label you attached or the paper or personalized flyer you lined it with.
There are tons of fun and creative, out of the box uses for clear plastic mailing tubes, including some of the following ideas we've gathered over the years.
How many pictures have your kids drawn for you over the years that you couldn't bare to part with or didn’t have room to display in your home or office? You know, the one's that end up in a box in the closet? One of our customers came up with the fun idea of storing them in clear plastic shipping tubes, using different colored caps, a different color for each child; what a cool idea right! All of these cheerfully colored tubes ended up on bookshelves in their bonus room. This is actually a great idea for artists of any age; they keep the artwork safe and sound, but away from dusty closets, in boxes you can't see through or have the potential of being destroyed by damp rooms or flooding. They're also great for storing blueprints, collectible comic books, you get the picture.
Do you frequently end up mailing out birthday or seasonal holiday gifts? How cool would it be to line one of these tubes with birthday or holiday paper (think Easter, Christmas, Halloween, etc.) and fill it with candy, bath salts, figurines and even clothes. For the guys, why not line a tube with golf related paper and fill the tube with golf balls and tees, or leave the paper out altogether? The same goes for the guy who loves to fish; we carry clear plastic tubes that will fit just about everything from lures and hooks to fishing rods and even a rolled up fishing hat.
As you can see, there are countless uses for these innovative, see through tubes, but the most popular remains using them for shipping and mailing. Clear plastic tubes are available in a wide range of sizes and the end caps (available in a variety of colors ) fit securely, ensuring safe, waterproof shipping that is UPS and USPS approved. Most important of all this versatile shipping container will not only be able to present your contents in a way that makes them shine, it also ends up being a gift of sorts that keeps on giving and that's cool anyway you look at it.
