Transporting Posters?

Stupid question, but do you guys roll 2 to a tube? Or go one tube per poster? I’ve always just done one per, but I like several of the Boston ones and (hopefully) will be buying more than I ever have. 

In Seattle, I only got 2 tubes for 4 posters, and (though it could have been that we were rushed), I ended up slightly creasing my Klausen and Faile.

Am concerned about carrying so many tubes on the plane, but at the same time don’t want to damage the posters.

Thanks!

    Kraft paper and a gentle roll usually works. The most I've done is 2. I don't think I'd shove 6 in 1 tube. Maybe 3 in a wider tube. Hope you get what you want and don't flip. Enjoy!

    Thanks, and certainly not flipping!

    What if you didn’t have the benefit of Craft paper, would you go 2 to a tube then?

    2 is safe. Just roll them up carefully.  I had a hard time with the Klausen in Seattle since it was a longer poster. I think I heard they had tables in the Merch tent for you to roll your posters.

    2 is safe but if you have kraft paper it makes life 100 times easier.  If you aren’t confident in your rolling abilities I wouldn’t try more than 2 in the 3” tubes they have.

    I would usually put the 2 in the tube and being it back to the hotel. Remove them carefully and use Kraft paper. On tour I would bring a bazooka tube and a small roll of Kraft paper.
