Hey anyone have or know where I can find some tubes that we can roll up banners and put in to store them.. I cant remember who it was that sent me some few yrs back to put pics in .. I think they were map tubes... I need these for the WC softball team sponsor banners... tired for them just being rolled/folded up to be thrown in a shed for the next yr... Think if I put them up in tubes they will last longer for sure.. any help will be appreciated

Go to any print shop or design engineering firm. They'll have spent rolls from large format paper.

Rick, The local carpet store will have some rolls as well. I give them away all the time down here on the Coast.

ask for the boxes if they still have them...the inner rolls will likely be too small for banners to fit inside of, unless they are 3" or larger in diameter.

I usually have a few that are 3" inside clear by 30" or 36" long. I usually keep a pile of them but just threw them away the other day. If anyone needs them I can start saving them again.

www.uline.com will probably have new ones if you can't find some hand-me-downs.

I get "chart tubes" at work all the time but biggest will be 3"(that's what she said) and most are like 1.5" If anyone needs them, I'll save them for you. They are 3' long if memory serves me. Can measure in 5 weeks when I go back. That's Right. One week into 6 week vacay!
