VViViD Telescoping Document & Poster Tube — Black 17.5–29.5in, Locking Lid & Strap

VViViD's telescoping black plastic drafting tube protects rolled documents, posters and artwork from water, light and impact while staying adjustable for different lengths.

Built for creatives and professionals who transport sensitive rolled media, this VViViD transit tube combines a locking twist lid, rugged plastic construction and an adjustable nylon shoulder strap to keep drawings and prints safe on the go. The tube extends from 17.5" to 29.5" in 2" steps so it fits a wide range of paper and poster sizes, and its design minimizes light and moisture exposure during storage or travel.

How does the telescoping design adapt to different-sized artwork?

The tube’s nested sections slide out smoothly and click into place at 2" intervals, letting you choose the right length for each roll without extra cutting or packing. This flexibility reduces empty space inside the tube, preventing rolls from shifting and creasing.

• Adjusts from 17.5" to 29.5" in 2" increments for precise fit
• Telescoping sections lock to limit movement during transport
• Suitable for posters, drafting paper, large photos and maps

Will it keep documents dry and protected from light?

The screw-on lid twists into a locking position to form a nearly light- and water-resistant seal, shielding contents from splashes and ambient light that can cause fading. The rigid plastic body resists impact and prevents crushing, which is especially useful when commuting or shipping rolled materials.

• Threaded lid locks to reduce water and light penetration
• Durable plastic resists dents and punctures
• Deep interior prevents edges from getting bent or damaged

How portable is the tube for daily use or travel?

An adjustable nylon carrying strap makes hands-free transport easy, and the tube’s lightweight construction keeps overall weight low even when packed with thick materials. The compact 17.5" collapsed length fits into cars and studios when space is limited, while the extended length accommodates larger pieces when needed.

• Removable/adjustable nylon strap for shoulder or crossbody carry
• Lightweight but strong plastics reduce carrying fatigue
• Collapses for compact storage when not in use

Can it handle non-paper items or specialty gear?

Beyond drawings and posters, the tube’s sturdy interior is suitable for storing or transporting a variety of long, narrow items that benefit from protection. From thin canvases and maps to drumsticks or arrows, its shape and strength provide versatile utility for hobbyists and professionals.

• Works for tracing paper, maps, rolled canvases and prints
• Also accommodates elongated gear like drumsticks or arrows
• Interior diameter supports rolled items without compressing them

Who is this for: Artists, illustrators, architects, designers and students who need a reliable, adjustable way to store or move rolled media will find this VViViD telescoping tube practical and durable. It’s also a good choice for anyone transporting long, narrow equipment that should stay dry and unbent during commutes, classes or deliveries.
