????Are These Shipping Bags OK????
Hey all, wondering if these bags would be OK for shipping corals. They were all I could find in the 3mil size on Ebay. They look good, is poly safe?
http://cgi.ebay.com/Clear-Poly-Bag-B...QQcmdZViewItem I found 2mil that are advertised as fish shipping, but would rather go with 3 if possible. The size is right for me. Thanks!

Hmmm. Well, I could go with 6x15 in the 2 mil, but these are a little thin for comfort. I guess I could quadruple bag them
They are for small-med sized frags, so 4 inch width would be fine, but they are a little short at only 9 inches... Thanks

4" is perfect if your shipping frags, it keeps the weight down. I just ordered a few thousand 4"x10" 3 mil just yesterday.

2x8? not too small? I had 2x12 before and wasn’t able to fit anything inside of it. I ended up blowing them up like a balloon and popping them.
