PACKAGING IDEAS

[lababygirl]

HELLO LADIES, I AM IN NEED OF SOME HELP WITH PACKAGING IDEAS. I AM MAKING THE MICROWAVE POPCORN WITH THE DECORATED SLEEVES AND I AM NEEDING THE CLEAR CELLOPHANE BAGS TO PUT THEM INTO SO THE OUTSIDE DOSENT GET DIRTY BY EVERYONE PICKING THEM UP. I SEE ALOT OF PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT CLEARBAGS.COM BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT SIZE TO BUY. I WOULD LIKE THE SELF SEALING TYPE. I AM ALSO MAKING THE ALTERED CLOTHESPIN 3 0R 4 TO A SET AND NEED BAGS FOR THEM TOO. ANY IDEAS PLEASE SEND MY WAY.

go on ebay- uniquepacking is the seller will have to go into advanced search and enter name..but they have every size bag you could use. I have used them for years for TONS of bags- I package everything I sell...and they will combine shipping- but keep in mind the box will be very heavy

THANK YOU I MAKE ALOT OF THINGS AND NEED THEM PACKAGED BUT HOW DO YOU WHAT SIZE TO ORDER FOR DIFFERENT THINGS.

[craftsrlb]

I measure the finished item then find a bag to fit. make sure you have some extra room if its a 3d item...usually if I order the wrong size, I can use it for something sometime...then decide if you want to add a topper or just leave it plain - you will need extra height if you are adding topper. They also have ones with hang tabs on them if you want to display hanging things. I believe if it has the letter p on it, then the adhesive is on the bag rather than the flap which I like, but not all sizes come like that. I prefer that on the card size bags, the rest really don't matter

OK THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INFO. I AM GOING TO LOOK THEM UP ON EBAY I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO FIND THEM. YES I DO WANT TO PUT A TOPPER ON ALL BAGS. I WAS JUST CONCERNED ABOUT WHEN ORDERING DIDNT WANT TO ORDER WRONG SIZE THEN STUCK WITH BAGS I CANT USE BUT THEN AGAIN I MAKE SO MUCH THEY WOULDNT BE WASTED IM SURE. DO YOU KNOW IF THEY HAVE ANY VIDEOS ON PACKAGING AND MAKING TOPPERS JUST TO GET IDEAS?

[craftsrlb]

No I don't think they do..you can look in the gallery on here for packaged items, I know there are several threads that show some great stuff.

this is one of the listings, not sure if it will help or not..but on the advanced search bar on the right side of the ebay home screen (or top) scroll down to almost the bottom and there is a section to look up things by seller..click that and enter uniquepacking

Thanks for the link to the E-Bay seller. I did a quick look and found a list of sizes so this link might help the OP:

Bags Size Chart items in uniquepacking store on eBay!

I too prefer the adhesive on the bag instead of the flap and couldn't remember the place where that was available. I want some for the HYCCT Challenges and for craft-fair sales (I hope to make cards over the winter and participate in my first sales in 2014 - never had enough space to store supplies/finished products before!)


Happy Crafting!
