I'm working on a multi-signed poster project, so to help protect it in transit, I need one of those soft poly poster sleeves that protects it inside the main tube.

I checked online and everyone is only selling in bulk, so, as I'd prefer to only pay for and receive one (I have enough clutter as it is), I was wondering if any of you guys have an extra that you might be willing to sell?

The poster is only 16x20, so it'd need to be at least 16 inches in length, but if it's longer, I don't mind. I could really use the help on this one — thanks, all!

I always find that the poly sleeves never fit the mailing tube properly if I have understood the item you are after correctly. They wobble around inside and can damage the ends of the poster/item.

A possible solution is placing the poster in one tube (with protective paper rolled with it) and then place the tube into a second bigger tube with some bubble wrap wrapped around it. That way any shipping dents should only affect the outer tube.

I had loads of problems shipping posters. One time I had a poster sent by FedEx. It had a separate outer container which was triangular. Not sure if FedEx do them anymore, but there are other similar products on the internet

One way to help the problem with the poster ends being damaged is to plug the ends of the tube with some bubblewrap. Not totally protected, but better than nothing.
