Carrier Bags - small quantity initial order

Hi

Does anyone recommend a plastic bag supplier who accepts a small quantity for first order?

Looking around, most suppliers ask for 1000 minimum order but we are just starting out and would like to start with a smaller amount (250 or 500 at a stretch). :confused:

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Many thanks
Jays

    I had 200 recycled, large heavyweight carrier bags from ebay, I think it was market holdings. £4.00 or thereabouts.

    I got to Batleys a Cash and Carry they have about 30 depots around the UK, I pay 79p + VAT for 100.. because I only need them in very small quantities this works out best for me. I use about 100 a month.

    When I did shows and events I used to buy my carrier bags from Makro and they were very reasonable. I'm sure ebay would be a good place to pick them up as well
