Magazine boxes and wraps

[tholly]

i dont really know what im searching for, but i read somewhere that you can get cardboard boxes made specifically for storing magazines in

also, i am looking for "plastic wraps" that would fit nintendo powers...im looking for the things that people put comic books in to protect them, but are big enough to put a nintendo power in

a local comic shop has them for $0.15 a piece, but im looking for something online wholesale...i would need 200+ of them and i would need them to fit 1 nintendo power each

also, they need to be a lot cheaper than $0.15 .. most of my Nintendo Powers i paid about $0.12 for, so i dont want a plastic wrap to cost me more than the mags cost

any websites or ideas on what to search for?

Yup, both of those items they sell at comic book stores. If they dont carry it they can order them for you. You need magazine size not comic book size. Make sure the bags are acid free. You should also buy cardboard backings that go in with the magazines too. This way the magazine doesnt bend and stays minty fresh.
The bags and backings come in packs of 200.

I've ordered from this place before and they shipped quickly with no problems at all...not sure what the going rate for this stuff is, but they seem to have very fair prices. They also sell the cardboard backings that you will need.

Yup, I usually get mine at the comic store. And, yes, standard magazine size is what you'd want. I've seen the backer boards go for as cheap as .10 each, or in a pack of 100 for about $25. Bags usually run about the same. You'd want to get both standard acid-free backers and polybags (don't go for the standard-regular, I think they're called). Anything less and you'd need to change out the bags and boards after 5 years, or as long as 10 (but 5 is best). The cheap bags and boards can start deteriating the closer to 10 years you get. Of course how often you'd wish to change them out depends on your finances, how the mags/comics are stored, and how anal you might be.

I changed out 10,000+ comic bags and boards over a 3 year period (yeah, that's expensive...that's why it took me so long).

Storage boxes you get at the comic shop usually are acid-free, somewhat waterproof, and varmit resistant (mice, paper bugs, silverfish, roaches) and would be the way to go. Boxes are alot cheaper than the bags and boards. Boxes usually run about $5 each and seem to last for an eternity.

It's already been mentioned, but try this website out:

They carry alot of odd-sized bags and storage boxes I use for my gaming stuff, too. I'm sure there are cheaper places out there, I've just done business with this site for years and have always been happy with what they got.

That bags unlimited seems like it has good prices.

What you'll need is magazine sized boxes and golden age polybags for the NP's. If you want to store anything larger theyd do make bigger ones for magazines (I use the for my heavy metal mags).

It's Wednesday so I'll be going to my local shop later tonight and if the prices are any cheaper there I'll let yu know, and if you want I'll get you some and ship them out very cheaply.
