+Ecylram Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 We've been caching a few weeks and now we'd like to "pay it forward" by replacing the occasional Zip Lock bag that have deteriorated. We haven't made a point to bring a ruler with us when caching so...what sizes should we purchase? Quote Link to comment

+dbrierley Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 If the size of the cache container allows for it, I would recommend a freezer zipper bag, which start at about 7 by 8 inches (18 by 20 centimeters). Freezer bags are made of thicker plastic, making them more durable. Quote Link to comment

+dbrierley Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 How about for the small caches such as film cannisters? In an earlier thread, Walgreens' "Pill Pouches" were recommended for small containers. Quote Link to comment
+Markwell Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I usually carry quart freezer ziploc bags. The regular bags are much thinner than the freezer ones, and the quart bags work well in most regular sized caches. Quote Link to comment
g_o_caching Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I use ZipLoc snack bags, about half the size of a sandwich bag. They are 6 1/2" x 3 1/4" They work for most pill bottles, matchstick, and magnetic keyholders. I figure they have to be better than what was in there. Quote Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 For magnetic keyholders, I use 2" x 3" Bagettes that I got at the local craft store. (Michael's, I think.) You don't have to fold over the seal. Quote Link to comment

You don't have to fold over the seal. Thats the size I use and where I get them. Great for keyholders, 35 MM film cans, and match-toothpick containers. Quote Link to comment
