Best poly & plastic packaging bags according to redditors

Looks alright but tiny, I have a feeling I'd burn through that salt in two meals.

I just use tiny ziploc(aka weed baggies) with whatever spices I feel like.

I absolutely hate the shitty bags all games come with. I open every game box and immediately throw them in the recycling bin. I applaud them when they at least make it easy for me by surrounding them all in one bag.

The seal on them is usually shit. The components push through too easily, they offer no component protection or protection from components. The sizes are all over the place, typically you get a handful of same size bags for a varying number of components, and usually not able to split them up in a way that will make sense.

The answer is 4 mil Plymor baggies. Best fucking things ever. They're thick, sturdy, clear, and seal well. Every game I have now has them in the 3 sizes I bought. It's nice and consistent and you don't have to worry about having enough. You have hundreds.

The 3 sizes I found that work well for 99% of games I have (if memory serves I think my TI4 tiles are in 2 Ziplock quart bags) are:

3"x4" Great for little bits, dice, cubes, wheat, tiles, currency, even a few whole ass regular sized cards cards (great for separating replaced cards (Xia, Vast) or games with very few cards). Buy a million of these.

4"x6" Great for "player packs" (all bits, tiles, dice, meeple for 1 player), large sets of tiles, or lots of cards. MiniUSA/Euro size stack up in them (Gloomhaven, TI4 = only 2 bags each for all the cards, sleeved).

5"x8" Great for large tiles and component heavy player pieces (TI4). Or for laying out cards in side by side stacks (even Euro/"MTG" size) so you can still close the fucking box (looking at you, Agricola, AFfO) and not have cards fly everywhere. Buy quite a few of these. 100 bags will last forever.

*edit* had my 5x8 description in the wrong place.

The problem isn't weight it's space. To have a container that performs half as decent as ziploc bags you would need a larger thicker container. Especially when you want to limit the "smell" in bear territory. Think of it this way, would you rather pack your meals in bags or bear cannisters?

Now what I use are these they are 4 times as thick as a regular ziplock bag and hold up extremely well. The meet the usda and FDA requirements.

My brother uses these and just leaves them in his "waste" hole. And yes, by waste hole I mean where he shits.

However they seem a bit flimsy for me.

I prefer the thicker 4 mil bags so I bought a bunch in several different sizes. The 4x4 size is my default size.

2x3

4x4

4x6

5x8

I bought these and love them: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00OOE6OSU?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_yo_pop_mb_pd_t2

Once I list, I fold the item and put in here, seal and then store in a big box in my closet.

I purchased these bags and these bags from Amazon to store my game components. They seem high enough quality and I haven't had any issues with them at all.

I recommend checking eBay and Amazon, sometimes you can find some really great deals. For example, I just bought these for $4: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C7FWZSN

That works out to 4 cents per item and this size fits pretty much all tops (aside from bulky sweaters/hoodies), most dresses, most shorts and skirts and some jeans and pants. I lucked out and got 100 12x15 zipper bags for $9 awhile back but they're sold out and most other ones are $20+ for that many bags. If you keep checking back you might get lucky and snag them cheaper though, new listings pop up all the time on Amazon and eBay.

I have some of the adhesive bags but I hate them, the adhesive strip sticks to everything (including itself) and it's a pain to open and reseal if a buyer wants another measurement or if you want to slide a thank you note inside the bag or anything else. The zipper bags are thicker plastic and can be opened and resealed as many times as you want. Plus, I feel like buyers are way more likely to reuse them rather than tossing them in the garbage.

I’ve had great luck with these 6mil ones. In the short times that I’ve used them I’ve neve had one break. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078WHVNCV

Yeah, you're comparing a 5 day food supply to 30 day food supply. Even if we assume the extras are useful, it's not a good deal.

A cursory look on Amazon yields:
9 day worth of SOS Rations, $20.45 (vs 5 days)
Ammo Box, $5.98
100 Aquatabs, $9.90 (vs 10)
10 1-gallon mylar pouches, $8.99 (vs 1 small bag)
Similarly stocked survival tin, $15.50

Now I already have more things and I'm only at around $60.

Use these bags, or ones like it:

Wrap it tight around the item and if you print your own labels, put the label on the outside of the bag. Or just have Amazon do it.

If you would like, you can choose to have Amazon prep the item and label it, for a fee of course.

Absolutely! They have myriad applications... Here's some on Amazon

• This pack of 600 bags will pretty much set you for life

I would put some tabs in a bag like this in my pocket. If you're going to get searched just swallow the tabs.

I use these tiny ziplocs to pre-package pills. Saves money over the travel sized packets and I can either do a packet of one thing (aspirin) or a packet of hubby's daily pills (about five different pills). For his prescriptions I take a photo of each pill as well as the prescription for each medication and keep these on my cell phone. I would be more careful with opiods. And if anyone (like police) are wondering what the pills are you can easily google the number code on each pill and it will tell you what it is like this.

Mine come in 9 " W x 13" high mylar. Plenty of room to spare.

Edit: one gallon

When my golden had cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy, I purchased a cadaver bag just in case he passed at home and I had to bring him to the vet for cremation. Keep in mind that when most animals die, they release their bowels and it can get quite messy.

I use those super tiny ziplocks that you get randomly with electronics (2.5" x 3.5". I then pack them inside a lite smith DCF Zipza sack. I use two, one for repairs, one for first aid. Keeps things organized enough. If you don't have any you can get them here:

> Ah... I can see that. The first manga that I got also didn't have furigana :')

I see :( What series was it? How was reading through it?

> How do you study kanji? If you know the radicals, it isn't that difficult to look them up (still a lot better if we know the reading though haha)

Good point, I'll have to try looking them up by radical instead of drawing them :) I've been going through Heisig's "Remembering the Kanji" to learn new kanji and I try to learn how to read/write them when I learn new words.

> I didn't even know that it existed for English volumes... Where do you get them?

I don't think they're specifically for books, but my friend recommended these which I've used for some of my volumes. I'm not sure I like the ziploc, though; it's kind of difficult to get them in and out. Were you talking about something like this?

Since I bought 2 and 4 mil but suggesting 3 mil, I did a quick search to find a better product. Oddly enough, not a lot of 3 mil on Amazon.

But I did find these, https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07FF8VGRP

Without having using them myself, be cautious. But I would probably start here if I were you.

I have Dominion and all its expansions except for Alchemy, and all those will fit in one of the boxes if you remove the insert. I printed out some dividers, and shoved all the rest of the boxes in the basement. It's pretty packed in and the box is heavy, but it's way better than lugging around a ton of big boxes, and if you don't have any money like me, it's probably the best solution for storage. If you only have the base game, I think the plastic insert is just fine, and nothing else really needs to be done.

For any games with a stack of loose cards that don't come with a tuckbox and don't snugly fit into the box insert, I print out a tuckbox using this website. It's really convenient - just measure your stack of cards, get the pdf, and print! I also remove the little URLs they stick on there, and center the template, because otherwise my printer cuts it off, but that takes seconds. Then you just cut it out, score the lines, fold it up, and tape/glue it in one or two places (I like to use double-sided tape, because glue is messy). I bought some cheap card stock to print it out on, and it makes great little tuck boxes that fit neatly into any box. :) I have Tales of the Arabian Nights, and this was a lifesaver for that, since that game has like 4-5 distinct decks of cards and nowhere neat to put them in the box, haha. Before I made tuckboxes for them, I was having to keep each deck in a plastic bag, and that was a huge pain....

Netrunner I have sleeved, and I keep that in one of these. There's nothing wrong with the box it comes in, but I already had this lying around, and it's smaller than the Netrunner box, which is nice.

For games with lots of little tokens and stuff, I just put them all in little plastic baggies. I don't bother to label the baggies unless there's a lot of distinct but similar-looking tokens (like with Small World) - it's pretty obvious what's in them otherwise, haha. These are a good size in general. You almost never need them to be bigger. If the insert is really good, I sometimes don't bother with this. If they might be flying around in the box, though, it's a good idea.

2. Yes, use clear polybags with a suffocation warning. I bought this multi-pack: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OOE6OSU/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1457960621&sr=1&keywords=uline+suffocation+warning+bags.
   
   

I pack them out in these: https://www.amazon.com/Inch-Black-Reclosable-Resealable-Zipper/dp/B00I0G76X0/

​

I put a few of these black bags, some tampons, and some toilet paper in a quart-sized ziplock bag and that is my bathroom kit. I'll use a single black bag for a few days worth of waste and dispose when i get a chance.

​

Unfortunately online was the only place i could find bags like this and I had to buy a ton. Now I'm set for years and have shared with friends.

This is what I would reccomend http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006JNJD82/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I usually dose out my beans into separate small baggies like these: http://www.amazon.com/Ziplock-Type-Clear-Reclosable-Thick/dp/B0002ZOY5A/ref=pd_sbs_hg_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=12JS913R1Z9YAACM2EXH. Just be sure to squeeze out the air.

Yeah, I don't see them in stores. You'll probably have to go online, maybe something like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Ziplock-Type-Clear-Reclosable-Thick/dp/B0002ZOY5A

2x3" 2mil zipper baggies in 100ct packages are sold by Uline in cartons of 1000. Various people are selling these by 100ct for about $3-4 shipping included on Amazon. Note 4mil are also available. At Uline, they are foodsafe, can't guarantee everybody's is from Uline, but if you really care, you could inquire before buying. (Note as an oxygen barrier, plastic is considered permeable especially in the long term- months and years.)

I use this: https://www.bodybuilding.com/store/ts-fit/monster-pill-dispenser.html?PLASKU=TSFIT3720015

But I take all my supplements in the morning at home.

If I had to carry them around with me, I'd probably just get a small ziploc bag, around this size: https://www.amazon.com/100-CLEAR-Reclosable-Zipper-Bag/dp/B000OVHW24

Most people are probably familiar with others taking supplements and medicines during the day so I'd be surprised if anyone looked at you weird for taking a couple capsules with your lunch.

I use these but they're 4x6:

There's also these at 4x3 but you have to buy them with something else to get free shipping:

https://www.amazon.com/Beadaholique-4-Inch-Resealable-Zipper-Shipping/dp/B009LIOOPO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1481228838&sr=8-2&keywords=4%22+clear+storage+bag

I know some people use small ziplock baggies like this.

Not who you asked but I think they're referring to ones like this

Maybe slightly larger ones though.

Maybe something like this?

https://www.amazon.com/Mini-Lock-Bags-Inch-1000/dp/B00V796EXU

He probably means like this: http://www.amazon.com/Mini-Lock-Bags-Inch-1000/dp/B00V796EXU

These hold about 200 rounds of 22 each. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0093SYK7E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

These hold about 500 rounds. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AJT3ZH2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

i transfer from the cardboard to zip top bags after i open the cardboard packaging.

A Faraday Cage?

Does anyone know if those mylar static or "farady" (as they call them) type bags would work for an EMP (either natural or nuclear)?

I was just in your shoes a week ago...here is a link for some cheap bags. Best of luck.

Something like this should do the trick: https://www.amazon.com/ZIPLOCK-Clear-RECLOSABLE-Plastic-Baggies/dp/B00VZ3QHQM?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1
