where can i get poly bags for bagging tees?
« on: June 17, 2015, 12:16:04 PM »
Right now we are buying them from uline, but i'm 100% sure there is a cheaper place to get them.

Looking for 9x12, and bigger with a re-sealable strip!

find a local bag company.  most of the time they can order them in if it's a special request.

Uline has everything, and it's all within a day ship, but to buy from them, there is a premium price. I just bought 5,000 bags through a company on ebay, that will take 3 days to get to us, but the bags are $.05 cheaper per unit than uline.

Link?  I use the same ones as you do from Uline but would love to get them cheaper.  The shipping cost is really the killer w/ Uline..  Bags are heavy!

I don't use em and no real prices were mentioned, but I found this on ebay for 100 2mil 12x15 recloseable Poly bags with free shipping.  Shipping seemed to be the ball-breaker from the reading.

Is 14.89 cents a bag a good price with free shipping?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/12-x-15-ZIP-LOCK-BAGS-LARGE-CLEAR-POLY-2-MIL-100pcs-RECLOSABLE-BAGS-ZIPPIT-BAG-/190802699691?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c6cba25ab

Follow-up, I think that's probably pretty high.  Uline shows the 9x12 2 mil recloseable @ $50/1000 and 21 pounds for shipping. 

Still, $50/1000.  I'm a little confused about Eric saying the on-line purchase was .05 'cheaper' per unit when Uline price comes out to .05 each no matter the quantity.  Maybe I missed something.

let me find the link. With shipping Uline came out to be about $.07775 per bag. we paid around $.04 with shipping i believe.

so not exactly $.05 cheaper, sorry for misleading

M&R has poly bags. They are on a wicket but shouldn't be an issue
