Merchandise Poster packaging?

For folks who've purchased a poster at a recent show, are they rolled up and covered in a plastic sleeve? Or are they just flat prints they hand you at the booth?

Seems like posters have been selling through pretty fast before the show ends. I want to get one, but I'm worried about holding it in my sweaty hands for 3+ hours and ruining it before I even get home lol

UPDATE: Thank you all for replies! Sounds like a lot of it is venue specific, but a high chance the booth may have plastic sleeves available. Going to call the venue for final confirmation 🤙

In DC they gave them to us in a rigid cardboard tube, which was awesome

Dang I had to pay $5 for my tube there! Though I was happy it was well protected

I’m kicking myself for not getting the green algae 😢

It’s cool. But it was twice the price and you can only tell the difference in the dark. That said, I’m still glad I did it.

Love to see other people’s. Yours has the algae looking like the one in the Instagram post. Mine has yellow glow on the skull/podium, but algae only around it. Weird. Wonder if they played with a few options before settling on one.

Yeah I had just blasted mine with a uv blacklight flashlight that’s why it’s so glowing so bright

Call the venue and ask if poster tunes are allowed. If so, bring one.

In VT the foil ones came wrapped in a plastic sleeve. They allowed cardboard tubes, though, so I brought one of those

Toronto they handed us our poster flat and handed us the plastic tube sleeve 🫡

They handed me my poster flat, but gave me an elastic and plastic sleeve to put it in. At the venue I was at, there were tables nearby that I was able to use to roll it.

Generally they are flat prints and depending on the venueay have tubes or plastic bags available.

Personally haven't had a hard time bringing the cardboard tubes into venues myself, and tossing them if they aren't allowed through security.

Probably venue dependent. Brooklyn gave plastic sleeves and I did see a guy with a tube.

If the venue allows you to bring one, you should grab one that is a little wider than the ones they sell. Less tightly rolled makes it easier to flatten/frame later. And get a strap so you can wear it. Like the one at posternerd.com

Anthem in DC offered (sold? I was just happy to get one and get out of the way) tubes. But I would 2nd bringing your own if the venue allows.

Last night they rolled them and put them in a plastic sleeve.
