    What brand of sealable plastic bag best fits 4x5 film holders?

    I use sealable plasitic bags as many of you do for my 4x5 holders but was curious what brand bag you use that has the best shape to hold 4x5 film holders?
    Thanks!

    Take a look at "zipper bags" from McMaster-Carr Supply at www.mcmaster.com

    They have a slide closer, designed for repetitive use. Very nice.

    This link takes you to the ziplock bags page, zipper bags are linked near the end: http://www.mcmaster.com/#resealable-bags/=iv65wd

    If you believe you can, or you believe you can't... you're right.

    I carry 3 to 5 4x5 holders in a simple gallon zip-style bag. I reinsert exposed holders upside down after I shoot them.

    I like Ziplock freezer bags. The freezer bags are a little heavier material than other Ziplocks and hold up better.

    I don't like bags with sliders. I've had to fight with too many sliders that came off the track.

    Unfortunately, minimum order quantity is 1,000, but the absolute best for plastic 4x5 holders is Item 1648 here:


    Note that the page takes a long time to load. Be patient; it will finish -- eventually.

    I use ones like these:

    In theory the antistatic property helps cut down on dust.

    Any zip-lock style in the quart size for 4x5's. Cheap, easy to find and works great.

    Ditto. I don't fret over baggie desing too much, but the freezer bags do last longer.

    Quart size ziplock bags work for me. No specific brand or thickness. If it breaks I get a new one.

    I use pink anti-static poly bags. I bought a lifetime supply on ebay.
