So my first t-shirts are due to arrive tomorrow/wednesday (yay) and I need something cool to put them in.
I'm actually going to be selling them on Saturday at this venue with a table and everything, so was thinking the best thing to do was put them in some type of cellophane bag.
Has anyone had any experience in packaging for t-shirts? I know the cellophane bag thing sounds really boring, but for now I need something quick and cheap.
Any advice ideas or links to recommended suppliers? Thanks and I'll post some pics up when I'm doing the Del Boy' thing. :)

Don't you get your tshirts already shrink-wrapped from the printers?
Whenever i've had tees done, this has been the case. They've even put S/M/L stickers on each bag too.Why not get some nice brown paper bags to put the tees in?
They are super cheap but look the business if you get a stencil/print/stamp on them of your brand name.

Aha, not sure because I haven't got them yet.
I've wanted to do the brown paper bag thing for the subsequent online phase. I agree they will look better, dunno how much that would cost though.
Do you know any suppliers that sell batches of brown bags? (that sounds pretty drug related).

Tube is a good shout too.
Erm, I dunno where you'd get brown bags.
Try food prep wholesalers?
I say that as a mate has a mobile deli and I noticed he had nice paper bags when I was at his stall at the weekend.
Tshirts arent big things and fold up small so the bag only needs to be large sandwich sized.

get bags.
get some stickers printed to seal the bag at top.
and perhaps a stamp made to stamp the bags with too with your logo/brand or even a stamp per tshirt design. or even a blank "spec" stamp which you stamp on bag then handwrite the design name, size and print number (if its a limited edition run).Do i get a free shirt for that awesome suggestion? :)
- Good suggestions mate. I'll give you some some free badges and stickers if you're in Londonvuc

Not to sound an asshole, but... How to store bags?
How do you handle, for example, 50 bags?
How do you mail a paper bag? A bag is good to be prepared and sold at the time. Even you can make a loop as a ritual of sale, but ...
If you just want a package, choose something hard. You can even take a hole to see the color of the shirt.- I think I wouldn't mail paper bags. For the future I intend to put the t-shirts in some kind of box + a stencil on it.vuc

Miesfan,
Not to sound like an asshole, but did you READ the first post?
He's going to be selling these tshirts (in this instance) from a market stall. I'm sure the people buying the tshirts from here would MUCH rather have a bag to carry it in rather than a tube.

I just found a shop near Spitalfields market which does carrier bags and brown bags etc. Very cheap too, will probably look to get them and then a stencil sprayed onto the bags.
Sorted.
