Default Need cheap and easy way to package hand delivered orders

Hello,

I made a batch of items (shirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants) for co-workers (about 120 people, total 450 items) that I'm going to be delivering next week. I wanted to pre-separate everything so I'm not digging through boxes with a line of people there, and some may not be in their offices so I'd have to leave their order there.

I wanted to find a cheap and easy way to package these orders so I can easily deliver them to these people. It doesn't have to look fancy or nice, just has to get the job done.

I was thinking of buying a butcher paper roll and wrapping and taping the orders that way. My wife suggested just rolling each order up and rubberbanding it together with a copy of the order form. I was wondering if anyone has any other suggestions? Thanks!

Before I read your post, I was thinking of rubber bands too "Very Cheep and easy for you and co-workers". But get heave duty bands, you know thick and not thin.

You can buy a cheap impulse sealer and some polybags to seal each order ~ $75. If this is a one time thing, I would use grocery bags or the butcher paper like you mentioned.

I didn't realize bags were that cheap - that may be a consideration if the rubber band thing doesn't seem to be working.

I use "cello bags" with the sticky strip, i called the company and they sent me a few different sizes to sample and they are really cheap and make the shirts look really presentable. I would shoot for cello bags. Good luck im sorry casnt think of the company i bought them from i just googled "cello bags" and theres tons of sights.

I ended up going with the rubberband packaging, it worked phenomenally and everyone liked it, thanks for all your great suggestions!
