Posting out larger items

[Mrteajunkie]

I have always been posting my items using boxes or tubes.
this has suited me fine as the bn was only 20”.

now I’m onto a bigger machine I’m looking to find a way to post out the larger prints and banners.
How do you post banners and larger prints A2 & A1?
im finding postal tubes to be a little too small and flimsy or too expensive.

Im open to suggestions if you have any.

lots of the larger banners I have had delivered have rolled and then covered in a few thick layers of celiphane

Is there a local carpet store looking to get rid of the cardboard tubes in the centre of carpets? Stronger and larger than the standard postal tubes & ideal for larger banners.

Good shout we have one in our high street 2 min walk away.
I wonder how i could cap the ends though?

but really heavy and will cause the cost to go up, I think this is the reason most just wrap them.

[pcwizme]

cut some card and tape it on?

I used to deliver carpets years ago, drivers used to get 50p per cardboard roll they returned as they cost the company £8 to make. They stopped letting the drivers do it when they realised they were earning £1000 a month extra Cut their noses off to spite their face! Sorry, that doesn't help you much....just saying
