no, the shipping tubes have to accomodate the instruction sheet as well, which was thin paper, but nearly the size of regular notebook sheet, plus the strip of "astron" igniters. The 18mm motors rattled around easily. Also, IIRC, the packing slip would be rolled up inside if the order was for individual motors, say, a 1/2A.8-4, a B.8-4, and a B3-0 in the same tube.
