OK. So MondoCon will be my first major event where I know I'll be walking out with many pieces in my clutches. I want to make sure I get all those pieces home in the safest way possible. From seeing everything going on at SDCC, it looks like most people just walk around with tubes. I would think a PVC tube would work best if you were OK with rolling your prints. However, I prefer to keep my prints flat, so I'm trying to devise a solution for carrying a foam sandwich. I'm thinking I'd have to make a custom tote bag or something. I think carrying around a 30x40 sandwich might get a bit annoying as the day drags on.

What do you guys and gals think? Tube it up or keep it flat?

I'd ship them the standard way. Yazoo tube, kraft, bubble wrap, etc. I just prefer to keep things from being rolled until they absolutely have to be.
