cardboard tube

Hollow brown cylinder

A cardboard tube is a hollow cylinder made of stiff paper, used for packaging, mailing, or as a structural core.

Paper towels and toilet paper wrap around cardboard tubes.

Poster tubes protect rolled documents.

Children repurpose them as telescopes or swords: He pretended the cardboard tube was a lightsaber.
