Pacific Arc's Jumbo Drawing Carrying Tube extends from 35 to 49 inches, accommodating everything from standard architectural sheets to oversized charcoal drawings without forcing you to fold or roll work tighter than it should go.

The generous diameter prevents tight rolling that can crack charcoal, crease pastels, or stress watercolor paper.

Small diameter (2.5 inches) handles architectural plans, technical drawings, and standard prints, while large diameter (3.5 inches) accommodates presentation boards, multiple layered documents, or larger format work without crushing edges. Rigid plastic construction protects against impacts during transport and maintains document integrity through handling that would damage cardboard alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfigure your system once for a specific project length, then reconfigure when needs change.
