    Cheers

    A lot of art supply stores would stock them. Somewhere that sells paints ect for artists, I dunno where you live so I can't be specific.

    If your local stationary store doesn't stock them then your best bet is HuntOffice.

    Anyone have an idea how much these.cost.to post within ireland?

    I realise the OP was back in April but if you're on friendly terms with a local large chain retailer you might set some for free. The POS in windows normally comes in them.

    i know this is an old thread but i came across this

    http://budgetpackaging.ie/postal-tubes

    and i remembered reading your thread

    €9.99 for 10 tubes but postage is €8 but if you bought enough tubes to make it worth your while you would get them for around €1 each

    i was looking for padded envelopes and mailbags and they are very reasonable.

    by the way i have nothing to do with these people i just sell alot on ebay and try to keep postage costs down

    My local Xtravision are happy to give them to you if you ask nicely and they are the expensive type of tubes that can take a fair bit of abuse. :)

    Reads and Easons sell them if anyone's still interested.

    The ones I get fit A3 sized posters and cost 0.89¢
