bags low minimum orders from China?

    Hi, im currently trying to find cellophane bags online (for food packaging). There is plenty of resources, but being new to this I have recently discovered the value of ordering from China. I am getting prices much cheaper, but the problem is the minimum orders.
    I found one place that had good value(something like 1c/bag) but minimum order was 50k bags. This is ok in the long but for now I am on a very tight budget, and would only want approx 5k bags at the moment.

    I know its a bit of a long shot posting here but im wondering does anyone have any advice on tracking down products at similar prices but dont require the same kind of orders (prices wouldnt even have to be that good tbh, just reasonably close)

    Thanks

    The prices from china can be excellent, but always add the cost of shipping and customs charges.

    What size are you looking for and I might be able to give you both a Chinese option & local Dublin option.

    Hi 91011,
    The size would be length 10cm * width 7/8cm. This isnt exactly set in stone for now as we just want to try out slightly varying sizes, but that would be the general size alright. They don't have to be resealable or anything like that.
    Id appreciate the help, itd be even greater if we could stick to an Irish company,i guess if customs + shipping adds up to Irish prices then we'd definitely go for it.
    Thanks again

    Go to Budget Greetings cash & carry in Parkwest Industrial estate -(huge place in middle of Park) second last aisle towards till area, right hand side at bottom on last bay of first section.

    They have about 5 sizes ranging for what you are looking for to A4 size.

    About 1c / 1.5c each based on size you are looking for.

    You'll need trade id (2 invoices from other companies) to purchase from them.
