Are the Kraft mailing tubes provided by Staples not good enough to ship expensive prints in even though I am sending it fully insured USPS priority?
I know Yazoo and Uline are the best but I can't get a hold of them the same day. Does anybody know a place where in New York where you can get these in smaller quantities?

Thanks I have got myself the tubes now what weight of kraft paper would you recommend? Is boardwalk as a company fine?

Someone asked me about tubes...I don't remember who. By far the best value in tubes is the YAZOO multi-pack. They ship nested so you get 20 tubes in 1 box for $42 shipped. That's 10 (3"x24") and 10 (4"x24"). Yazoo charges $40 if you order a 10pk of the (4"x24") by itself so going with the multipak deal basically gets you 10 free 3" tubes. Uline can't touch that deal.

Agreed. I've bought both packs. They are fantastic and is a great deal.sixstringer wrote:Someone asked me about tubes...I don't remember who. By far the best value in tubes is the YAZOO multi-pack.

wouldn't you need 30" for prints sized 24x36?

I'm confused.. I know 24 is less then 30 but I also know that 24" is the same as 24 inch... It's the same size as the tube?

Yes you need at least a 30"L tube for 24x36" prints. You can buy the multi-packs in both 24" & 30" lengths.cripplethreat wrote:wouldn't you need 30" for prints sized 24x36?
