To protect greeting cards from the elements like dirt or moisture, plastic sleeves like greeting card bags are used. To end up with the right greeting card bag, you must first determine what will be going into the bag, find a material that suits your item, find out where you can purchase greeting card bags, and finally think about crafting your own greeting card bag.
Greeting card bags do not just protect greeting cards, but they also have other uses. Thus, you need to know how to pick the correct one depending on what your items are. Here are some quick and smart tips that will help you get the perfect greeting card bags:
Figure out what you're going to place in the bag
Before you start looking for greeting card bags, you need to identify what you will put in the sleeves and determine the size of the content. Today, greeting card bags aren't only relegated to store greeting cards. Other uses for these sleeves include using them as storage for photos, compact discs,
job ticket holders, trading cards and other small paper items, and sometimes to hold larger items like clothing and artwork. Figuring out what you will place into your bag and the size of it will help you realize what greeting card bag size to purchase and the materials to pick. To ensure the best protection, the content should be adequately fit to the bag.
Try to pinpoint and identify what sort of material will be the best fit for your particular item
The common materials that made up greeting card bags are cellophane and polypropylene. While polypropylene is a plastic product made from crude oil, cellophane is a paper product made from wood pulp. While cellophane card bags are more expensive than ordinary greeting card bags, they are terrific for protecting whatever is inside of them and can be heat-sealed. On the other hand, polypropylene costs less and works very well for products that don't need to always stay fresh. This material is softer to touch and it does not have the natural fold that cellophane has. These materials are environment-friendly and highly resistant to moisture, oil, and solvents.
Your decision on what material to use depends on what is inside your bag
Items needed to be kept fresh, including soap, potpourri, photos, and various foods, can be maintained in cellophane greeting card bags. Polypropylene can be used in storing greeting cards and posters, or even foods like breads, cookies, and cakes.
Find a place that sells greeting card bags
Greeting card bags can be found in a variety of ways. You can either review your regional director or the Internet. Find the preferred sleeve size and material and, as many companies sell them in bulk, inquire about purchasing details. If you do not require the full number of bags which are available for purchase, you may consider checking your local bookstore if they have some available. If you're buying less, try websites such as eBay.
Make your own greeting card bag
You can also try making your own plastic sleeve, especially if your item is small. All you need to do is measure the item, get some thin acetate, scissors and scotch tape. Give enough space to the acetate, so that it can conform to the folds of your greeting card bag.
Whether you use your greeting card bag for greeting cards or for containing other items, make sure have just the right size for your contents to keep them well-protected and the right material to keep your items fresh and free from all possible dirt.
