Harold,

You might check out these people:  http://www.pacificpkg.com

I've got a local store and the seem real competitive.  They've got tubes from 1 1/2" to 48"

 Thanks, Steve. I'm trying to find the cheapest way to buy rolls of sealable poly, so I can cut at the length I need.  All I can find is precut bags on a roll. I have lots of shorts that could be used for many projects, and, would waste precut bags, as I also have meter long pieces, of the same width and length.

 I just don't know what terms to type in the search.

 I will contact a couple companies, and explain what I want.

 It is the only easier way to ship small amounts of wood, because of the new bull crap laws being passed, to stop ALL cutting of tropical wood. Importing into the USA is going to be non-existant, before too many more years go by.

 BUT, China buys anything, and is directly responsible for devastating lagre tracts of Tropical Timber, but, that's OK, I guess

What about shrink wrap?

Use to use it to hold pallets of blocks from falling apart while transporting them on a flatbed truck...

 I want to put a folded card over the top edge of the wood, and seal it down as close to the end of the wood as possible. Makes a SEALED pkg, that gets by Customs easy, and looks professional.

 Also want cheap as possible.
