I have not bought shipping bags in a while and I forgot what size I had.

So I was wondering what size bags I should get to ship frags in? Also, where is the best place to buy these bags from?

I do not like the extremely tiny bags that hold maybe 1/2 cup of water nor do I like the larger bags that hold 6 or 7 cups of water.
 
I use 3x9 2m bags because I use plastics cups to secure the frags. The cups slide right in and there is no bunching of excess bag material. They are narrow allowing them to be horizontally boxed and maximum amounts of room for squishing in bags! This seems to be the most cost effective method for my shipping procedure..

Ok I will use that size as my starting point. Thanks for the quick reply.
 
Does anyone have a recommendation for the "best" place to buy these bags from?
 
I use 3x12 and 4x14 bags from Uline. You have to order one case at a minimum. Or you could try aquabid.com Sometimes you can find someone on there selling smaller quantities. Good luck
 
Look in to hospital "pee" cups. ;) Sounds dumb I know, but frags fit in perfectly. That's what Mstansbery was reffering to I believe.
