What is a cardboard cylinder?

Cardboard cylinders, also known as paper tubes, are cylindrical containers made from wood pulp that can be used for a variety of purposes:

Packaging
Paper tubes are commonly used for shipping and mailing and can be tailored to fit a variety of contents. They are also used to package posters, documents, and artwork, which can be rolled up for storage or shipping.

Crafts
Cardboard tubes can be used in arts and crafts, such as painting, gluing, and cutting to create different designs.

Other Uses
Cardboard tubes can also be used as paper cores for fabric rolls, toilet paper, kitchen paper, and wire. They can also be used as piggy banks, caulking tubes, and grease inserts.

Cardboard tubes are made by winding a strip of cardboard around a mandrel to the desired diameter and length. The thickness and structural strength of the tube can vary depending on the degree of protection required. Thicker tubes are better suited to protecting fragile or heavier items.

Cardboard tubes are an environmentally friendly choice because they are made from recyclable materials and are fully recyclable.
