Where to buy tubes and acid free tissue , by JW on Feb 15, 2021 12:21:48 GMT 1, I've just ordered some tubes from here:
www.defendapack.com/
I haven't used them before but did see someone else suggest them on this forum. They seem to have plenty of options.
Acid free tissue paper I just order from Amazon and it's done the job.

i haven't used them for tubes but have used their 7" and 12 " record mailers before and they are brilliant and once you've assembled them a really good way to ship vinyl.
I have bought sheets of glassine and tissue paper off the bay before too but not for ages. Biggest problem I ever found and it's a first world one is that the tissue paper with free p&p tended to come folded if buying larger sheets to cut down on the postage costs but it was then annoying when trying to roll it with the paper creased.

Where to buy tubes and acid free tissue , by Horatio Nelson on Feb 15, 2021 14:21:34 GMT 1, Visited these guys near Old Street/Finsbury Square a few years back who sold all sort of art supplies including tubes...
www.atlantisart.co.uk/find-us/
Looks like theyโve moved to Hackney now though and not clear if they ship all their items. Also sell portfolios and sleeves for those interested.

Just remember not all tubes are created equally, 2mm tubes are ok-ish but a bit thin, try to go for 3mm if you can. Also these tubes are good www.priorydirect.co.uk/direct-postal-tube-b1-101-dpt-b1101.html#1130233657
An important part of a tubes integrity is the tight fitting end caps (try squashing an unopened full can of beer and an empty can of beer)
