Where can I find good tubes?

Need to ship some posters for my mystery sale and can't find anywhere that sells the good ULine tubes like we get at the shows. The tubes I seem to find are pretty narrow and the poster would have to be wound pretty tight...

Looking for good prices and what stores to find them at.

Thanks!

    Definitely not being a smartass, but did you try www.uline.com ? Maybe you weren't looking to buy 25 at a clip, but for a couple of bucks a piece, a small stock might not be a bad idea.

    Ask your local framer. They usually have leftovers from other customers who have dropped off their posters for framing. I've got a bunch for free this way.

    Also, does anyone know what size those tubes are? I don't have one to compare it to...

    Yup I've done this too! They usually have loads that just end up in the bin, in my local frame store the guy was delighted I was taking them off his hands :)
