Just like this
www.choiceful.com/choiceful-id-76025-300mm12-inch-Red-PVC-Wall-Plugs-Pack-of-25.html
I do not need 25. Does anyone know of any other sources. I want red ones.

Close up they look like this.
tinyurl.com/27xwdoc

The original ones were from Thurscan but last versions seem to be Bostik Viking Plastic Plug Cuttolength Wall Plugs. They seem to be out of production

It appears that like Marmite you either love them or hate them.
Those that hate them are oblivious of their unique use.
e. g. Having positioned a wall cupboard I can drill through the back and without removing the cupoard insert a rawlplug and screw. All other holes drilled of course are perfectly aligned.
Fixing a batton to a wall ( without using "No nails" ) the same applies - all holes spot on.

Thats not unique to that type of rawplug.

Align the item you want to screw to the wall, drill through item into wall to required depth, push rawplug (most types) into hole as far as it will go, insert screw into rawplug by two or three turns, hit screw with hammer and bingo - rawplug disapears into wall and screw is ready to power drive into plug. All holes spot on.

Its the way builders do it.

Thanks for that.
My local independant DIY place eventually obtained some but I also use smaller white ones which are not shown .
I have never seen yellow or black ones so I will probably get some.

We normally don't allow self promotion of products (or if you're connected in some way), but as this has helped a forum member, we'll turn a blind eye this time.

Twelve inch long wall plugs? Wow! I've never seen any longer than about two inches.

That has just reminded me of a chapel hat peg analogy I once heard which I can't really safely post...

Cvapel hat pegs, Humpy ?
Surely you're getting mixed up with Scammall wheel nuts.

Down South we refer to 'Scammell starter buttons'!
