Storage Tubes Keep Your Genealogy Charts Clean & Safe

Your genealogy chart professionally printed, and in a labeled storage container

If you're like most of our customers, you probably won't have your genealogy charts out on permanent display all of the time. So that your chart will stay clean and safe when you're not viewing it, most charts (size permitting) will arrive inside of a very attractive, highly durable, high-impact, three-inch diameter, polystyrene storage tube with vinyl end-caps that can be used for permanent storage.  The storage tube will be labeled with the contents and date that your chart was printed.  See shipping for further details about how we strive to protect the investment you make in your genealogy charts.

Charts that are printed on our standard 24 lb. paper which are about 80 feet wide or less will fit in these storage tubes.  If you have us print your chart on heavyweight 35 lb. paper, the maximum length that will fit in a storage tube is about 50 feet.  If your chart is longer than this, we recommend that you save the original shipping container and polyethylene tubing to protect your genealogy chart for permanent storage.

As you build your family tree over time, you'll probably end up printing a variety of different ancestor and descendant charts.  Our labeled storage tubes make the task of identifying each of your charts a breeze!   And, if you're giving a chart as a gift, these storage tubes add that special touch of elegance to your very thoughtful gift.

Tips for removing and replacing the end-caps on your storage tube

TIP #1: - Each time you replace the vinyl end-caps, expel the newly built-up air pressure by lifting the edge of each cap and depressing the top.  This will allow air to escape from the tube and keep the end-caps from popping off of the tube.

TIP #2: - Save the next cardboard tube that holiday or special occasion wrapping paper comes rolled on, and then use it as an inner core to roll your genealogy chart up.  Or, another alternative is to visit your local hardware store and purchase a section of 1.5 inch diameter PVC tubing and have it cut to be the same length as your chart.  Either of these options will help keep your genealogy chart wrinkle-free no matter how many times you roll it back up.
