do you know where i can get cellophene bags for ties

[cooltriker]

been all morning trying to find the cellophene bags that you find ties displayed in .....cant find any anywhere unless i want to buy 5000

i only want a few prob 100 max.....its for a trial run...so to speak...... as i have loads of men's ties.....which to be honest i just dont know what to do with.......they are too good to sell on as rags.....

so does anyone know where i can get a small quantity of these display bags from....? the little tie hangers are no problem to get hold of.......

any ideas where i could get a small quantity from i would be extremely gratefull.....

I don't think you will be able to find these in a small quantity as they are such a off size type bag. You could buy some cellophene sheets like you use to do gift baskets and make a few bags using clear double sided scotch tape.

I use these for packaging my patterns. They are available in pack as small as 400 for $9.99. Perfect fo most size patterns.

They have lots of sizes but I don't see any long and narrow enough for ties but you could try calling them to ask.

This is an excellent question. I had some I got from some old store stock I bought but I want more!! It's an excellent way to store them while they are sitting for sale in your Ebay store that keeps the dust away. I hope someone comes by with an answer.

I've not seen the long ones - I usually use the paper backed sellophane bags purely because I happened to find some cheap ones, but this seller in the uk has various sellophane related packaging things in smaller quantities. Don't know if any of those could work?

These are made for wine, but would probably work. I just did a quick google search for cellophane wine bags and it returned alot of results.

thanks peeps for the links and the suggestions.........

i had a brain storm/idea this morning......( prob a bad one lol....)

i have loads and i mean loads of ties....of various ages....thin/thick ones... various patterns etc......

and they are too good to be sold on to the ragman.......so i thought i would ...re-label and package them..... and see if any of these ethical green shops ( or even normal clothes/department stores) would be interested.....

i know its a long shot...... but i thought with a little info about recycling ...reusing...saving the planet....etc......and a good name/label...... it could work.....

either that see if i could make some tie skirts......just sew a load of ties together and make hippy style skirts.....

ok..... i will come come back to the land of normality now ....

Good luck with your tie project!! I have also seen tablecloths for those round decorator tables (the inexpensive press board variety) made from ties that have been quite spectacular!!

and they can also be made into WAY cool purses!!! i can't find any links to any right now, but i've seen some really really cute ones!!
