I'm shipping expensive prints internationally. What wall thickness should I order?
Last Updated: 07/07/2015
Most of our clients shipping expensive prints internationally order their mailing tubes with a .125" or .187" wall thickness. Bulk shipped mailing tubes usually have a wall thickness of .060", .070", or .080". Use your discretion which wall thickness is most appropriate for your shipment.
