A DIY centre... just get two bits of hardboard (3mm thick is enough) cut so they're about two inches bigger than the print all round.
Wrap the print carefully in tissue, put it flat on one piece of hardboard with corner holders made of paper to stop it slipping around, place the other bit of hardboard on top and tape them together nice and tight. Then wrap the hardboard with cardboard or paper and write the address on it. I've done this quite a few times. Only costs about 3 or 4 pounds for the hardboard and gives loads more piece of mind than rolling it into a tube.

Not anal but excellent advice. This gives it strength in two directions. I have had prints damaged because it was packed in cardboard with the "layers" in the same direction.
