Rodney, sorry if I was misleading. I was refering to the see through poly bag that the shirt arrived in, not the actually Tyvek style packaging itself.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. The clear ones. Now I get it

You could try the zip close bags here:
http://www.uline.com/Group_5.asp
http://www.uline.com/Browse_Listing_...ip+Handle+Bags

Or the bags on a roll:
http://www.uline.com/Group_174.asp

You would need a heat sealer if you wanted to get the bags that don't have a closure mechanism on one end.

This one was recommended recently in another thread:
http://www.uline.com/ProductDetail.a...eywords=S-8528

The member used a printed round sticker with their company name on it to seal the bag (neat idea).

Two quick questions:

1. Is 10x15 large enough for XXL shirts? Anyone?
2. The difference between 2 and 1mil parts? Is 1mil really flimsy compared to 1mil?

Thanks!

Yes, if they are folded.

Not sure on that one. Might be worth getting a couple samples of both (or calling uline) to find out for sure. It doesn't *seem* like there would be a big difference between the two.

Yeah I wouldn't think so, but I'll have to call.

So, how do you guys ship if you have an order for 4 or more shirts (exceeding the size of a flat-rate box)?

Is there away of comparing prices? Where do you source your boxes? Any recommendations? Thanks!

For 4 shirts, I would still use a priority mail box. You can fit a good amount of shirts in their flatrate box (more than 4). I would get the boxes free from USPS.com. You can also get blank boxes from uline.com

You can compare rates at a site like redroller.com, but I don't think it includes UPS in their comparison.

For bulk order shipping (12+ shirts), I would use UPS.
