Alternative sources for Acid-free tubes.



Hello All,
I have been trying to find a cheaper source for acid-free cardboard
tubes.  We used to be able to buy tubes directly from the manufacturer,
but now can only buy tubes via a conservation supply house.  They have
an effective monopoly and the prices reflect this.  I was recently
quoted £2,500 for 30 tubes of various lengths.  
I am looking for suppliers in Britain and Europe who might be able to
supply tubes at a more competitive price.

Thanks for any suggestions.
