The mailing tubes, specifically plastic mailing tubes have their roots in the late 19th century, when Alexander Graham Bell and Charles Sumner Tainter invented the graphophone at the Volta Laboratories in Washington, D.C.; after Tainter left the laboratories, he invented a version of the graphophone that could record the voice of the user, it was called the Dictaphone and used an improved cylinder than the one used by the graphophone; the cylinder was made as a helical wound paper, which proved to be very light and strong in the same time; in time, this cylinder was widely used in applications that were far from the original purpose, such as mailing tubes and product containers.
If initially the mailing tubes were made out of paper, in time the product has improved to fit the needs of various people that wanted to mail other things than simple documents. The paper was replaced with plastic and the plastic mailing tubes proved more than satisfying for the customers of the postal services. Plastic mailing tubes are nowadays made out of tubes that are cut in different lengths, have different diameters, they are either colored or clear and has the caps attached at the ends of it made out of the same plastic as the tube in order to produce friction so that the plastic mailing tubes should remain closed.
