t-shirt bags for farmer's markets

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

Help!

I have been looking for a source of t-shirt style bags to use at the farmer's market. I can get large ones at Sams and Costco but I am looking for smaller ones. I really don't care if they are seconds and has someone elses name on them.

I have done an internet search and cannot find what I am looking for. I have heard there is a place in Shipshawana, IN but I do not know their name. I thought it was something like Dick's Canopys or something like that. If anyone on this forum know if them or anyone else near the Chicago area, please let me know.

Thank you in advance.

go to a "party" store,, some independant one,, they usually buy the seconds,, and would know where to find them. Or,, maybe you could ask a nice manager ata grecery store or something,, they might give you some,, doesnt hurt to ask

O.k. I'll bite. What are you talking about? Tshirt bags? Why would a canopy have to do with a canopy?

Use a search engine for wholesale plastic suppliers or pick up a copy of Closeout News, they usually list at least a few sources of packaging supplies. Sorry I don't have the address for closeout news, but they are based out of CA.
