Just wanted a little feedback. I'm considering ordering some Uline polybags to package my shirts. I really wanted a more custom look, but my budget doesn't allow for it. So for now I was thinking of using Uline bags and sealing them with a custom designed sticker. The shirts(folded) measure 10x12. I'm thinking of ordering the 10x15 bags and folding over the excess and just sealing it with the sticker. Tacky? All opinions are appreciated. If you have any other alternatives, I'd love to hear them as well. Thanks!
Doesn't seem tacky at all. As a matter of fact I've received items sealed with a sticker. Maybe " thank you for your order" or your business name, just thoughts.

It doesn't sound like a bad idea to me but with all of the "green" trends going on now you might want to check into post-consumer recycled bags or make sure the bags themselves can be recycled. Make sure you mention that on your site or packing forms. It will help drive up your business. Good luck.
Hey shearslinger..thanks for the advice. I actually considered the whole "green" issue, but I came to the conclusion that if I were to do that I really should be doing it all the way. Meaning my product should be "green" as well. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. It just seems it would be hipocritical(sp?) of me to be eco-friendly about packaging, but not products. It is something I'm considering for future apparel though!
BTW, anyone have any good links for custom printed stickers? Right now, I'm considering Jak Prints. Does anyone have experience dealing with them?
Hey Jeff, no problem on the advice. The cool thing about going green is that it is better to do it in small steps. I think that it would be almost impossible to go completely green in this business. But you might as well start with baby steps and continue to convert as time goes on (and you get more money). Later

This is exactly what I do. Same size polybags and everything. I had 2 x 2 stickers printed here: Full Color Printing Company - U Printing ... 500 full color 70 lb Crack N Peel stickers for $30.

I checked out this company as I have been looking around for stickers. I went through the process to order a proof, but it wouldn't let me choose colors. Did you have this experience??

No, I didn't have any problems at all, but I also didn't try to order a physical proof.
Tacky or not?
