I have those, but they are too big. My ideal size is 60mm by 80mm. I have some that are smaller, but now that I'm getting more spares it's nice to have a bigger baggie. Dye lots differ in colour slightly, but I mix them up. Although I tend to keep drills from one company in their own baggies since their drill quality is superb (low quality drills I dump, though that hasn't happened yet).
I found the store we use. I know that we're running low on a couple of sizes in the store. And they had some other things we need. So I can get my order with the store's, otherwise the shipping would be almost as much as the 1000 baggies I want to order.
I've decided to splurge and get the ones with the white writing strip, so I can write the DMC colour code directly on the baggie instead of using label stickers.
I'm ordering tomorrow. I'm hoping they ship quickly and it'll arrive on Friday or Saturday. Then I can kit down my finished painting (put all the extra drills in my spares box) and kit up the next smaller one. It's a green plant on a white background, I'm making it for my sister. I'm also working a very big one, that one's more colourful. I tend to work on one painting for a couple of weeks, then when I get fed up with it I switch to the other painting.
