Round Pen Tube Case

[dbriski]

Does anyone know a good place to get these in bulk?
http://www.woodcraft.com/family.aspx?FamilyID=5968 I am sure there has to be a cheaper place to get them than woodcraft. I was thinking of using them to store my pending pens to protect them.

Thanks,
David

David, Woodturningz has square tubes and they will give you a quantity discount. I can't remember the price, but I bought 100 last year.

I personally like the triangle ones, they don't role away.

Didn't I see someone buying in bulk in the threads a while back?
Oops: they were boxes.

We had a large group buy on these some 1.5-2 years ago, I think it was over at the yahoo group.IIRC, they came to about 30/32 cents a piece or so including the caps. I use them mainly for protection during shipping of pens.

Craft Supplies carries triangular cases. They protect smaller pens well.

David,
I bought a case of the tubes in 4' lengths (100) in a case I think and a box of caps (5000). I cut whatever lengths I need them on a paper cutter. Inidial investment was about $150 but cost per tube with caps was under .13 ea. I use them for added protection during shipping. Here's their website. http://www.visipak.com/

Thanks guys for all the input, I did see the square ones on special from woodturningz this week. I'll look into your other suggestions as well.
