I think under 0,25 cents is possible - but you may have to buy in bulk (possibly 1000).
Avoid polystyrene - they will not last.
High-density polyethylene will last longer, but needs to be kept in dark, or they will disintegrate after a while.
Polypropylene may be the best for what you want.
Other materials are better, but probably too expensive.
I'll try to get some more information together, but it would be good to hear from others who have found good plastic tubes! :|
ps. Where are you based?
