source fro premade bags of cotton or some cheap material, even linen or muslin?

Recommended Posts

When shipping off a bag to a customer, I like to put it in some kind of fabric bag. The upscale bag makers call this a dust cover. For one bag a year ago, I made a dust cover out of denim. It was fun, and I suppose not that time consuming when I get more familiar with that kind of quick stitching. However, I'd rather find a source for pre-made bags that cost about $1 piece.

Right now I'm using burlap bags from Uline. Not a bad choice . it adds a little uniqueness to the presentation of opening the box and feeling as if you have acquired something from the far reaches of the world.

Might anyone know of a source fro premade bags of cotton or some cheap material, even linen or muslin?

Check out ULine. They have burlap bags which I have used for shipping purses and larger items in.

major,

I have also been using the burlap bags from uline. What was your reason for doing so? Mine was for what I thought would be a cool presentation and to absorb moisture.

I've done it for presentation purposes Mainly. Not necessarily for protection. I had a rubber stamp made which is a blow up of my business card (measures 4"x6") and before I load the bag, I stamp the bag front and back. Just a little more advertising. The stamps work great on the cotton bags.

oooh, i like the idea of a large rubber stamp for the burlap bag and the shipping box. Do you use a large ink pad or do you roll on the ink?
