Design Plan storage container??

Anyone know where I can find/buy a tube for carrying and storing my paper design plans? I saw a very nice one in an airport one day. It appeared to be hard plastic with a carrying strap on it. Any ideas??

Local sporting goods store; they're used for storing & shipping fishing rods. Or a kite store. A friend uses the plastic tubes used for the center of the roll of paper for roll-fed large sheet printer-plotters.

You could probably get bragging points for making one using the bird's mouth mast technique.

 

Do you want style or function? For function Cardboard cores from a carpet shop , or thin wall pvc drain pipe will serve. For style artist's supply shops and the previously mentioned sporting goods shops. Also there are card board mailing tubes of all sizes and weights. Try postman plus.

 

most art and drafting supply stores carry them
