I just reuse black bags from fiber paper/film for my 8x10 film holders. Works fine for me although I'm sure there are people who would rather buy ziplock baggies.

There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!
I get mine from McMaster Carr. They have all different sizes and types.

I use something identical for 5X7, which barely fit. I load them up and keep them in the fridge until use. I like the fact that they are sufficiently dense to keep bright direct sun off the holders in my bag.
Unless the plastic bag has been intentionally made/processed/treated to reduce or eliminate static, you are inviting a dust nightmare if you're shooting anywhere in a dry climate.
The only trouble with doin' nothing is you can't tell when you get caught up
I believe they are anti-static bags and I am nearly always shooting in a dry climate. They work fine. I haven't worried about dust on a negative since I started loading holders then blowing them off with a hepa machine before putting in the dark slides.
