Good Quality Envelopes/Jiffy Bags

Can anybody recommend a good brand/manufacturer at reasonable prices?
The Post Office ones feel secure but are expensive. I've tried the ones from the various 'pound' shops and Wilko's. The 'outer skin' feels cheap and flimsy.
I will mostly be shipping high value pc parts i.e. CPU's, Memory, Hard Drives, and don't want the risk of the packaging tearing.
I don't want to place an online order for 100's without getting a 'feel' first.
Any recommendations?
Thanks

I bought some Jiffy bags on eBay.
They are proper branded Jiffy bags, so no surprises from them (although they were the cheapest for the type and quantity I needed).

Poundland envelopes have been brilliant for me when I haven't had official sealed air ones given to me."We are the change that we seek."0

I don't put any of the items you mention in a padded bag. For CPUs and HDD I use bubble wrap with an outer casing of cardboard, cut to size and made up with a parcel-tape applicator roller. RAM can (and has) arrrive bent into a bow shape, so I sandwich it in expanded polystyrene, again with a cardboard outer. Bit more time consuming, but I've had lots of grateful compliments on my packaging. Saves spurious claims for damage as well.0
