Bags for packaging jigs

[Kdog]

I've about depleted my supply of small bags for jigs. Last ones were 1-1/2x2 and a bit tight but a very neat pack and I also had some 2x2. However, I am getting ready to restock and am really considering a 2x3 bag to simplify packaging.

My Big question is mil thickness. pretty sure the bags I have are 2 mil and I remember how much my warehouse people hated them so thinking about going to the 4 mil bags, Does anyone have any advice or suggestions about which direction to take?

 

[Jay Wirth]

We have always used 4mil. I think they hold up better when jigs are stored or shipped.

I like the 2x3s for general purpose. Mil thickness isn't important to me - but for retail, like JW, I would go 4mil.

I wouldn't worry about thickness unless I sold retail. In that situation, you might be in fear of lawsuits for point pricks and the turmoil a lawyer could cause you.

Though, it could happen with anything and anywhere I suppose... :dodgy:

I've always used 4 mil and they hold up better than the 2 mil. especially if you happen to put any plastics in them.

I use 2 mil bags primarily. They are easier to load jigs into.

I buy whatever they have in stock @ the local craft shop (Michaels?)

But if I was commercial, it would be the thick bags and would have multiple sizes since I pour & tie from 1/32nd up to 1 oz jigs.

I gave up on the craft stores as I can buy a thousand on ebay for less than 200 from craft stores

I think I pay 9 bucks for 1000 2x3 shipped.

I am with Hookup

Also I only buy zip lock tops. The open top bags to me are pain.

Bucko do you have a link. I am using uline now and they are a bit more expensive

 

[Ron Don]

I really dont mind the thin bags for hand ties. Now jigheads should be 4mil minimum.

If you think these bags are expensive, you should see how expensive laminated bags for soft plastics are these days!

4mil are about 2x the price. You can watch auctions and get them for less sometimes.
