I think the roll of bags size 9x12 would be the perfect size to fit a tee.....what do you think? How do you all seal them? With a label placed over the folded top in the center?
If you don't use Uline...who do you use for your packaging supplies?
i considered getting that size but went ahead and got the 10x15. im glad that i did because my xx and xxxl shirt barely fit in that 10in width, i have about 2 inches availible in the length, but it still looks neat. (i think the 9x12 would have been to small for me) i seal it with clear labels.
I just made my first purchase with Uline, and it should be here today. They seem to be very fast and reasonable. So far so good with them! I'll let you know how the rest goes...

I use the 10 inch ones that fold over at the top so they don't need a seal.
Yah, those are good. I got my order from them, I bought several different things and I got it so quickly, and yes you need to buy a lot, but You can't go wrong with the price!
Oh Great Thanks Rodney.....I was looking for those clear bags too!!
Thanks Sarah!! I had uline's catalogue around here some place, sometimes its just easier looking thru the catalogue than it is to search the website.
Do you use a clear poly bag, place it inside the self seal mailers and mail it out?
Between $2-$3 with delivery confirmation via endicia.com

Yes, most of the time I use a clear poly bag to put the t-shirt inside before putting it into the shipping envelope. I get my t-shirts bagged and folded at the screen printer, so they are ready to ship out. Check with your local screen printers to see if they offer any "finishing" services like folding/bagging/relabeling
what service plan do you use on endicia and what labels do you print on at home with you inkjet?
I don't use an inkjet printer anymore for printing shipping labels (uses too much ink).
I just signed into endicia to check and I'm using the Annual, Premium Service plan.
I have a ZEBRA Thermal 2844 printer for printing labels. It's the same kind they use at the UPS store. You can use it with endicia and with UPS. It uses heat to print the labels instead of ink, so you don't ever need to buy ink.
I bought my thermal printer and label supplies from eBay.
We use a bag like this, but it cheaper because its generic from our box supplier. 12 x 15 1/2" Self-Seal White Tyvek Envelopes S-5155 - Uline
We fold the shirt and insert into this, no bag inside of bag. Most cases the customer cuts be bag open anyway because there tough so why have it in another bag? We also use a ZEBRA Thermal 2844 printer both for UPS and USPS, UPS provides the labels for free. It takes about 20 seconds to fold a shirt if you know how. I will try and post the video on how.
Bags for packaging?
