Default Clear plastic cover/jacket for cards

Hello,

I am considering putting some cards up for sale in a friend's shop, but want to put them in clear sleeves. Since this is something I never bought before, I figure I would ask here for ideas/suggestion before I get them. Places to buy, price range, quality, anything you can share is greatly appreciated.
Thanks. Be well
Miriam

I use clear treat bags from the dollar store. You get 25 bags for $1. The card and envelope fit perfectly inside. I print labels with my logo, etsy shop address, etc., to seal the bag. And voila, a very professional looking packaging presentation.

I got my clear treat bags from Target - 50 for $2 or $3, I seem to recall. They work very well. I'll check my local dollar store and see if they have treat bags as well.

Just wanted to say that if you want something that will allow for looking at the inside of the card as well as the outside (to read the sentiment), you cannot do this with ordinary treat bags and will have to come up with some way to show the buyer what is stamped inside. However, Amber does sell clear card sleeves that will allow you to do this!

I use clear treat bags and tie w/raffia or ribbon. Most of mine are blank on the inside, but the ones that do have a sentiment, I stamp the sentiment on a separate piece of paper and it gets tied like a tag with the ribbon.

I buy mine from Stampin' Up. I use them for the cards I've made, until I send them off.
