The Shorty 19 inch poster tube next to the 25 inch Standard, size comparison

The shorter gruvTube, cut for 18x24 prints.

  • 3.75" inside, so prints roll loose and flatten fast
  • Rigid polycarbonate body built for the pit
  • Twist-lock caps and a strap that keeps your hands free
  • Fits a standard 22" carry-on (19.5" with caps)
  • Carried by DMB, Goose, and Billy Strings fans, and plenty more
  • Built for festivals, road trips, and real-world travel

Most poster tubes are made for 24" prints, which means 6" of dead space when you're only carrying 18x24s. The Shorty is cut to fit, so your collection travels cleaner.

Carrying a 24x36 or an uncut double? Grab the 25" Standard instead.

FAQ's

Common Questions

Which size do I need?

The Shorty (19") is cut for 18x24 prints, the most common show print size. The Standard (25") handles 24x36s and uncut doubles. If your collection is mostly 18x24, go Shorty. If you ever pick up bigger prints, go Standard.

How many prints fit?

5+ comfortably in either tube, with the included kraft paper. Customers will brag about more.

Will security let me in with it?

The body is clear, so security can see what's inside without making you open it. Venue policies vary, so check before the show.

Can I put stickers on it?

Yes. Slap away. Lots of collectors cover theirs.

Can I swap the strap later?

Yes. Straps clip on and off, so you can add a patterned one anytime.

Bought this just in time for Metallica at the Aphere. This thing has been a life saver. 4 posters dropped this weekend, and they all fit in my GrubTube like a snug glove. Plenty of room to spare.

This tube is absolutely perfect and super clutch for a show. Maiden voyage was for the Rush 50 Something tour and I put a very rare glitter foil in this tube with the factory provided paper and it is flawless. Not a scratch ding or crease anywhere on this foil print. I also used it again last night for an Octave Cat show and it was perfect for a signed poster. I definitely waited for the 19-in shorty and I am super glad I did because the poster does not have much room to move around. I hardly ever get uncut double posters so the 25 was not necessary for me. The quarter turn locking cap is extremely ideal and it does appear to be fairly waterproof although I have not tested that at all...
Definitely a great investment if you are a poster junkie like me and concerts are your main hobby. I wish I had this years ago because it would have prevented me from damaging multiple foil prints from shows. Extremely well done, cheers!

The construction is very very good. The weatherproofing is a work in progress, and I have discussed my experiences with Josh. Imo, if you go through a storm, take extra precautions. Especially make sure the tube is facing up, that should help. The interraction, committment and care expressed by the company is second to none. I would absolutely recommend the current product and would buy again and again. I would just be a little more careful in heavy rain conditions. I think they plan to fix it, but NO OTHER POSTER TUBE comes even close to this beauty. Buy it yesterday and buy another one tomorrow!! Also, good news, despite the little bit of moisture inside the tube, my posters survived with no damage! Which a lot of people that had cheap tubes that day cannot say.

David, this made our day – thank you. Posters survived while others didn’t, that’s a win! Grateful to have you in the GruvTube family. Happy touring.

Better than I expected it to be. If you’re sceptical, don’t be and just take the leap. This thing surpasses what I have been using.

This thing is exactly what someone needed to start making. I can't wait to take it to Oakland for NYE with Primus!

I originally purchased one on Amazon, that did not quite work out as well. After chatting with their team, the directed me to the version I needed for travel. The tube is excellent quality, and fits nicely in my suitcase. The cap has a locking notch which I like and it's a good side diameter to where we don't have to roll our posters too tight. Highly recommend.

This tube worked great. I bought the 19” tube which holds my Metallica 18x24 posters. I bought this size in hopes of being able to bring it back from London in my carryon backpack. Perfect fit!! I put three posters into it easily including a coveted foil poster. A good tip would be to put some paper in one end to keep the posters from sliding around a little bit. I highly recommend these tubes!!
