No specific sellers in mind but browse the packaging categories; the more you buy, the more economical it becomes. I recently bought 50 padded envelopes for £7.70. I suspect it will be quite some time before I have to buy any more.
The only ones I would actively avoid are grey plastic; they make items smell of smoke."Well, it's election year, Bill, we'd rather people didn't exercise common sense..." - Jed Bartlet, The West Wing, season 4

Also bear in mind that plastic bags do degrade eventually. I bought one lot off eBay that were completely brittle and unusable. Now I am very picky about who I will buy from. No specific recommendations but check a seller's feedback very carefully for the specific item you want.They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth. -- Plato0

For bubble envelopes look for Mail Lites. I use thousands of them and rate them very highly. They are excellent quality and generally a bit cheaper than Jiffy.0
