blt212 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I was thinking about using mesh bags for firestarter packaging....anyone know where to get them for a good price. I was thinking a mesh bag that's similar to an onion bag so the scent would come through without opening, like you would with a coffee tie bag...ThanksBrenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokerjen Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 That's a neat idea! I would be interested in seeing the finished product if you do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southern.scents Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 These may be too small...http://packaging-supplies.hubert.com/wicketed-soft-net-produce-bag.htmlThere are more sizes of these...http://packaging-supplies.hubert.com/non-wicketed-soft-net-produce-bag.htmlHere is the stapler you are supposed to use...http://packaging-supplies.hubert.com/hog-ring-stapler.htmlOverall, you're looking at quite a bit of start up expense. You might shop around a little more because, IMO, Hubert is a little on the expensive side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blt212 Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Wow, these are interesting but you're right startup might be a bit high....I really appreciate the links though and will keep them in case I can't find something else...Brenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jade Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I bought netting at Walmart to use for a birdseed project. It's like the onion bag & is in the sewing section. I know it was less than $1 a yard. I gathered the netting around and tied it. Could you do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blt212 Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 That's a great idea ....I'll check that out. I've exhausted my options on looking for the real onion bags. Basically you have to purchase 1000's + and most of the companies are overseas....Appreciate your help!Brenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
