is having a special bag for a customer’s quilt.  I get them from Cleaner’s Supply, a drycleaning supplier.  They are bags the cleaners would send home with a blanket or comforter in them.  The bags come out to something less than a dollar each, and come in several different sizes.  Most of the time, I use the 15×18x9 size.

COMF15     Blanket Bag           15″ x 18″ x 9″

COMF20     Comforter Bag     20″ x 20″ x 8″

Several customers re-use the bags when they bring another quilt back to me.  Of course, because they are mostly plastic, they shouldn’t be used for quilt storage, but they do help provide a safe trip home for the quilt that you’ve worked so hard to help create.

I read one time of a customer’s quilt that was sent home in a white garbage-type bag; hubby saw it sitting by the door, threw it out.  Can’t say whether it was true or not, but sending a quilt home in some type of clear bag always seemed like a good idea to me after that!
