Paper sale bags
Maybe I'm just missing it, but I couldn't find any discussions on bags.... you know, paper bags for sales?

Most 2D artists use plastic bags, preferably clear so your work can be seen by others as your customers walk around.

Try http://www.uline.com They also sell tissue and shipping supplies in mass quantities which will keep your costs down. For smaller quantities (at a higher price) try your local Xpedex store.
Happy hunting!

Jacqueline, we are on the same page... literally. I was surfing their site even as your reply dinged. Thank you!

IS your work 2D? If so, clear bags like Larry suggested might be right. I have more issues with my customers wanting paper, not plastic. I switched to paper after my first year. I even have some requesting NO bag, but I do need to protect it with something, so then wrap in tissue. In summer I have people complaining about sweaty plastic bags too. Maybe try a small order of both, give them a choice, then see what they want. I get paper bags from either Dandee Display, Howard Packaging, or Nashville Wraps. I don’t have the contact info here, but they are google-able.

I'm still a newbie on these boards, joined maybe a month ago. But I am still stunned at the warm support and friendly attitudes I find here. You guys are the best:)!

We get all our packaging from Uline. From the 1 mil plastic bags we package our products in right up to the paper bags and T-shirt bags.
The only downside to Uline is, once you order, you'll get a catalog once a month!

What about earth-friendly bags? Any suggestions on reusable, recycled, or otherwise "green" bags at a good price?

I've been trying to find a small quantity of paper bags with handles for framed art - sturdier than the flat bags I bought in bulk. Just checked Uline again and their minimum seems to be 250. I'd like maybe 50 - any ideas?

To whomever suggested Nashville Wraps - thanks. I found the smaller quantities of paper bags in the sizes I wanted.

I ended up going to a local restaurant supply place where I could buy bundles of 50, at a decent price too. Now I just gotta gt a stamp made with our name/logo and I'm good to go. Thanks for all the help, guys, and happy Easter to all!
