FWIW, Rose Plastics typically makes those tubes in various plastics.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is often chosen because of its transparency. But plasticized PVC will attack some other plastics and is not really “archival”. Polypropylene (PP) isn‘t as transparent, but it’s durable and plasticizer-free.

I’ll always choose PP over PVC.

I’ll also usually get the kind with bumps that let the container go on and off “straight”. They seem to work better for me than the screw on-off kind. The screw type always seem to work loose on me. The bump kind stay where they‘re closed to.

I buy these from McMaster, as said above.

I've used some of these in the past but ultimately I get a bunch saved up and have to throw them in recycling. Something about not being a hoarder. (Don't look at the rest of the stuff I have "plenty" of.)

Another mention. I use a lot of these in square & round to store my tooling (mostly machining related). There are other sources but I buy them from Mcmaster for their variety. I know them as telescoping tube but Mcmaster calls them shipping tubes.
