Jennie Dienes asked about map tubes, etc.
 
I use the engineering tubes described - however, they are expensive if you
need several, andinvariably you either don't have enough or aren't where you
need them.
 
I didn't see anything in the replies about one of my suppliers, so - here it
is if of interest:
 
ULINE
2200 S. Lakeside Dr.
Waukegan, Il   60085
(1-800-295-5510 in the US)
 
They sell all sorts of packing, shipping and mailing materials including
round, triangular and square drawing/map tubes.
 
In particular - two products I like:
 
snap seal tubes that pinch closed (cheap & easy to open with out damage to
contents) - the 3-inch x 42 inch long size is around a buck a piece in
quantities of 50 or more.
 
Square tubes - great for storage of rolled documents - they come in 3 & 5 inch
diameters.
 
they also have several other options.
 
You might want to request their catalog.
 
We've had decent luck with them
 
 
- hope this helps -

    Believe me, my young friend, there is NOTHING - absolutely NOTHING -
          half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.

A source for the plastic tubes is Gravenhurst Plastics, Gravenhurst,
Ontario, Canada 705-687-6628. The plastic tubes are actually fishing pole
tubes which can expand to various lenghts. Very strong and sturdy. Hope this
helps.
