| ->> Does anyone know of a place online to order clear, inexpensive plastic bags to deliver prints? The don't need to be archival, and don't need to seal. If you could provide a link on which ones you order I'd appreciate it. |

| ->> I second clearbags ... been using them for 6 years now ... quick service, consistent product .... I mainly use the 5x7 and 8x10 with the adhesive strip on the back of the bag, and not the flap keeps things tidy during transport or in the mail ... |

Keep an eye on Uline's clearance section. I purchased several cases of of bags in various sizes back in August. It looks like they are getting rid of the 'suffocation warning' line of bags. Looks like only 8x10 left in the clearance section. Check their shipping too. For my area orders placed my 6pm are her the next day via UPS ground. Luckily UPS hasn't found a way to damage a box of stay-flat mailers ;) |

->> I also use Uline for bags and I place 8.5 x 11.5 chip-boards which I purchase at FedEx-Kinkos to put in the bag with the prints. I have to admit that I have not really shopped around for a better deal on the chip boards and probably need to investigate this.
I use the chip-board and bag combination at ice hockey tournaments where we are doing on-site printing, and the parents and players wandering around the arena holding 8x10's in transparent packaging has been very good for business. |

->> I research my supply pricing a couple times of year and as far as a supplier for the mailers and boxes I use www.packagingprice.com. Much less expensive than uline for my mailers 6x9 and 9x11.5 self seal white rigid mailers, as well as the 3x3x18 boxes.
Just did a comparison of a recent order. 100 each of the 6x9 and 9x11.5 with shipping from Packagingprice was 72.92. from uline just the product was 93.00 did not want to log in to get shipping rates. Large savings.... BUT the bags look to be more.
I have also bought from E-Bay at much better rates than U-line.
