Hi all!
Not 100% sure if this is the correct subforum to put this question, so apologies if this is a better fit elsewhere.
I'm low on good tubes at the moment, as well as craft rolling paper. As I only need a few of each, and since online stores tend to sell in bulk (as Yazoo does if you go to their site), does anyone know of stores that tend to sell these products? I'm especially keen to kind a place that sells good tubes (for storage or shipping purposes). Most art or shipping stores that sell tubes only seem to have ones that are too narrow and/or have walls that are much too thin and flimsy.
Buying tubes/packing paper in store?

Not sure where to buy tubes in bulk other than Yazoo, but I can make a suggestion that will save all your posters: DO NOT STORE THEM IN A TUBE. They will never flatten this way, inks will crack when (if) you try to flatten them and this will cause waviness. If you store your posters in tubes, you may as wellRelaxingDragon wrote:Hi all!

No worries, I mistyped a bit up there. I store everything in a flatfile. Shipping prints is the prime reason I need tubes, hence the need for thick, sturdy tubes.readicculus86 wrote:Not sure where to buy tubes in bulk other than Yazoo, but I can make a suggestion that will save all your posters: DO NOT STORE THEM IN A TUBE.

What did you do with your old tubes? Depending on what you ship the most of, just bite the bullet and buy a box, or do a split with a local person. I know HD and probably Lowes sells kraft paper. I buy mine from Uline as I have the cutter as well. A roll last me a year.
Happy to send you tubes and Kraft paper for shipping cost, assuming I can find a box to fit the length tubes you need.
PM me if interested.
