A shipping tube for carrying static-sensitive electrical components (e.g., IC chips in DIP tubes) is provided to protect the electrical components from damage caused by the discharge of electro-static charges and/or moisture. In one embodiment, the shipping tube includes a hollow cylindrically-shaped body and a pair of electrically conductive end caps. The hollow cylindrical body includes a laminate of paperboard and layers of electrically conductive material on both the inner and outer surface of the paperboard. The electrically conductive end caps close the opposite ends of the hollow cylindrical body, and at least one of the end caps is removable. Further, at least one of the end caps makes conductive contact with the conductive material on both the inner and outer surfaces of the paperboard to provide a complete enveloping enclosure.
