Alvin Cardboard Mailing Tubes

Comments about Alvin Cardboard Mailing Tubes:

I use these tubes to give to my customers for fishing rod storage. The rod is first placed in a rod sock and then into the tube. It works great to keep the custom rod from being scratches or broken.

When ever I purchased from Dick Blick I have never had a problem with ordering, delivery or the product in over 30+ years. From lead refills to light tables the quality is there and they stand behind their products, you made a lifetime customer and I've always recommend them to fellow artesian.

I had the opportunity to see this mailing tube before and after mailing. It survived a cross-country trip via USPS quite well. One metal end was a little dented around the edge, but the tube was intact, and it protected the painting I shipped quite nicely (acrylic on canvas, cut from stretcher bars and rolled up in acid-free paper). I might reinforce or better protect art on paper, because I think the edges of the paper might get bent if it slides around in the tube.

I'm using this tube to transport large papers to and from class. It's great for that and I imagine it would ship things well too. I got the 42" tube to handle the paper rolls sold here on Blick.

I have a lot of professionally made large stencils sheets to store and I want to keep them in pristine condition. So I ordered two shorter orange containers for that and they work well. The larger orange container I got is for large sheets of paper that are rolled along the short edge. Works great and it holds a lot of sheets. They unroll quite well preserved and are easy to extract.
