    Where is the best place to get plastic bags to ship coral in?
    I'm checking into U-line, but I don't know what kind of bags to get.
    Any recommendations?
    Thanks!

    What kind of bags do you need? Do you need a flat bags that you can heat seal or thin bags that you can tie with a rubberband?

    The kind where you use a rubberband.
    Heat sealers are intriguing though. Which kind do you use? Also, which kind of bags do you use with them?
    I think I've seen you and JJ using them and they seem to work great.

    I'd like to know where to get those little tiny frag bags that you see some of the vendors have at the swap. The larger bags that I've found online are way too big.

    I order all my bags in from Uline. Pay the few extra bucks more and get 3 mil bags. I always get long bags, 24" L. That way you can put a ton of Oxygen in the bags as well as not havet to use rubberbands and just tie them off. I have quit a few if you just need a few.

    Thanks Waverz and SGM. I ordered from Kensfish this time. Next time I'll try U-Line, I'm guessing most of the other suppliers are just middle people between U-Line and me anyways.
