Any suggestions as to where to buy film window bags -- the sort that have cellophane on one side and paper on the other -- for covering mounted prints.
I'm down to my last few 13 x 18 inch bags and can't find anyone supplying them. I'd like to find some of that size and larger at a reasonable price.
Small bags seem to be a reasonable price but the only website I've found so far that carries bags 13 x 18 or larger charges about 50 pence each.
I've tried making my own bags. It works but it's time consuming and the cellophane is a bugger for attracting dust -- it has so much static that dust even seems to find its way through closed doors and windows (to say nothing about the dandruff).
So what do other people do about covering mounted prints for display?

Hi Mike,
Think this crowd might be able to help you. In addition to a wide range of stock bags, they can also do up small runs of custom sized bags at very fair and reasonable prices. I've used them before, and found quality, price, and service level were very good.
It's worth noting that if you're ordering custom bags, be sure to stress which side you want the opening (no bad thing to send them a sketch of what you want). I neglected to do this on one order ...
I also use the Magik Wand system. Great for wrapping items of varying sizes, but if you have a reasonable enough demand for the right size of cello bag, for me they beat the shrinkwrap system hands down in terms of timesaving.
Lemon Drop, do you know of a source for suitable shrinkwrap rolls in Ireland, by any chance?
