It's also kind of pricey but feels like you could run over it with a car. (Not that I have or have tested that.) But I have accidentally stepped on it plenty, and it gets knocked around both at events with limited personal space and with the aforementioned inadequate storage for it. So it's good protection for your stuff. For rolling up, don't do too tight and try to avoid creasing or crunching the artwork. And after unrolling it. Rolling the against the direction you rolled it to help straighten out your artwork. Find some place to lay it flat to relax it to avoid permanent creasing/warping. Framing will help with that.
Another concern we had was with screw on and off caps. Though this tub does not have a screw on and off cap, it is one that pushes on and off. Also, only one end can be opened, which I think is more beneficial than having two sides that can open. At no time did the cap come off on its own, even when we held it upside down.
This tub withstood a 10 days of international travel both from the west coast to the east coast of the United States, then from JFK Airport to the Baltic Sea region and back. The tube easily fit in an airline overhead bin. I was also able to take it on airport shuttles and other modes of transportation very easily.
We attached a luggage tag to the top portion of the plastic clamp at the top of the tube. The only intermittent problem we had was that the clasp at the top of the tube would inadvertently come off its hinge. However, this only happened three times. The tube was even pinched under heavy luggage but withstood the pressure and now has a crease mark on it but no dent. The bright color helps for keeping track of this item, especially when you are carrying other things. I was able to put the tube strap on my shoulder along with a backpack.
I believe this tube was an excellent value and I would purchase it again. The Prime Free Shipping and cost of item made this the perfect carrier for our specific needs.
