Michaels sells clear cello bags that are perfect fit for A2 cards . You can find it in the section with their cello wraps for baskets and bags. The bags are called Celebrate and are very cheap f0r bag of 50. They are open at the top.
I know a number of gals that sell cards and stumbled on to these. They also come in different sizes. Perhaps these will suit your needs.

The bags I referred to were Darice Craft Self-sealing bags, item No. 1115-23. Make sure you pick the right size, for A-2 cards its 4.75 x 5.75 in. I have got these for several years and really like them. They have a self-stick tab at the top, you just peel off. Hope I helped!

Check on Ebay. There are several sellers with many different styles. For actually handing out cards I buy the A2 size with the sticky strip ON THE BODY OF THE BAG, not on the flap where it can stick to the card when they put it back inside. For display, there are Not Envelopes, Not Bags that you can slide the front of the card into and there is a wrap around to insert the back. This lets shoppers open the card and your design is protected. Obviously I can't remember what these are called!

Another vote for the ones that Mike's sells, that Canada Goose mentioned in post #5.

I think they are called card jackets.

Do you have any specific sellers to share that carry the envelopes with the sticky strip on the body of the bag? I find the strip on the cusp extremely annoying.

TUA and...

Happy Crafting!

ghezziky currently has 100 for $6.95 and free shipping. I don't know how to post a link. The 'adhesive on body' is in the description, not the headline.

Clear Bags is by far the cheapest for me ( Canadian ) and best sizing.

Another vote for Clear Bags here, and you can get the ones with the sticky strip on the body of the bag, or ones with the sticky on the flap.

Honeybee Stamps has the card jackets (I cleaned her out the last time I got some, but I'm sure she has restocked now.)
