I’m in need of zip-locking plastic bags that are large enough to
hold a standard sized (14 3/4"x 8 1/4"x1"?) jewelry display tray. Rio
sells bags that are 12"x15", but a Rio sales rep told me on the phone
that the bags would not seal over even a 1" deep tray. Does anyone
know where I can get zip bags that are long enough to use for this
purpose?
And I also need sources for fairly shallow shipping boxes that will
hold the same size trays. None of the packaging catalogs I have here
carry boxes of that size that aren’t also really deep.
Recommendations for other suppliers, anyone? Thanks in advance!
I order direct from a manufacturer , If you give me the dimensions
you want, I can get the bags custom made for you Minimum order is
around 1000 bags for small ones , I am not too sure how many large
ones you have to order But it cost us nothing to try
What about investing in one of those plastic wrapping machines that
people use to store food in the freezer. I think they are under
$100.00 and you can custom wrap any size you want.
Also, there is a site called Wiget.com, their inventory changes, but
they get all types of supplies in, and they are great prices. M
Try any of the the larger museum supply companies. Polyethlene bags
are commonly used for artifact storage. Try Light Impressions or
University Products (google them). They may not be the cheapest
source, but they should have them.
Kathy - try Uline, http://www.uline.com. They have many different
qualities and sizes that would fit your requirements for bags. They
also have boxes that are 3" deep that would fit a tray. My sister
uses them for supplies for her art projects and is happy with them.
If the depth of the boxes is a problem and you need lots of them,
some box companies will make boxes to order. Or try Xpedx - I think
that’s the name, they are good to work with and have retail stores,
at least around here.
For anyone needing zip-lock type bags, the best and cheapest source
I’ve found is “The Bag Company” out of Atlanta, Georgia tel (800)
533-1931 or http://www.bagco.com
They carry several different thicknesses and nearly every possible
size you can imagine, and compared to RIO, etc. they are CHEAP CHEAP
CHEAP!
Try Alpha Supply in Bremerton Washington. They have packing and
display material and the extra-thick polyethylene zip-lock bags in a
multitude of sizes.
Kathy, check out Light Impressions www.lightimpressionsdirect.com or
800-828-6126. A wide selection of acid-free boxes. Ain’t cheap, but
high quality.

Kathy, The Ziploc brand plastic bags that you find in the grocery
stores or Kmart type ones, come in a jumbo size that is 13 x 15
5/8". That should do for your purposes, and be easy to get. Mine is
in a box of 20 bags. I use them a lot for a great many things.
