swedes67 Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Looking to purchase packaging (zip close) bags for stick baits and craws. Is it best to package with a laminated bag? Or can something else be used? looking for opinions/advice. Also where is a good place to purchase from? Thanks inadvance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHK Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 you could buy direct from either Inpact or Johnson but they both require you to buy 1000 - 2000 bags at once. if you are looking for less, like maybe a hundred or 2 you best option is Lure Craft at $14.75 per 100 7"x4" bags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNC Molds N Stuff Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 which bags are you using from U Line biggun? Brian I was wondering about that myself. I was just looking at the U Line website (for something else) and I looked at their bags. They all seemed to be deeper than they are wide. Not, IMO, the best configuration for retail worm packaging.

charmerbaits Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 From what I've found not matter which bag you use unless it is a laminated bag it will eventually leak and become nasty. If your going to sale I would recommend the laminated bag. Looks much better. Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basscandy92040 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 I just ordered 1000 8x4 from Johnson for $103.00. I dont think I got charged shipping! .10 a bag vs .20+ (shipping costs) from Lurecraft...Cant beat the price... In the long run you are saving $$$$ if you are selling your product....Just my .02 worth...

My baits have scent cooked in and I put a real small amount of Lurecraft Lunker Lotion to make the baits shiny and slippery. While I have bought some laminated bags for baits that don't fit, I have a large amount of non-laminated bags I bought from a local hand pourer going out of business and they work fine. In fact, I have a cancelled order in the basement that is approaching a year old and it has not leaked and the worms seem fine. Do you guys who have leakers soak the baits such they are swimming in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawghunterbaits Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hello, I have been making soft plastics baits for over 20 years (old school), It seems like this topic of packaging comes up alot. A few years back I did a on line survey of 100 of my customers and found that over 85% of them take the baits out of the package they come in and put them in a worm bag in a binder or into a tackle tray in their bag or boat. Thus my thinking is why would anyone spend the extra money in packaging. (bags) Your customers r just throwing them away! Not to mention if your bags r printed (big bucks) I have been and still use just plain ole poly bags (reclosable) that I buy from u-line I get 1000 bags for around 35 bucks +/- They have 100's of sizes to chose from to fit most apps. I do not belive I have ever had one leak, they do tend to discolor after time but I am talking a year or so down the line. The choice is your's but I always look at the bottom line. i also use larger bags on a roll for my bulk orders and heat seal them I get 5000 bags for around 10 bucks from a private supplier I know. Just do your home work there r some good deals out there on packaging. The package catches the fisherman, The baits catch the fish! I would rather catch fish!
