Resealable bags for mailing tea?

Greetings kind Steepster folk!

I’ve been receiving lots of tealove from folks in the last month and would like to be able to pay it forward to others. I’d love to get a hold of some bulk resealable bags, preferably on the smaller size (for samples), and preferably opaque that I could write on with a marker. You get the idea :)

Anyone got any favorite sources, good leads?

Thanks!

I use the craft bags from the dollar store. They are resealable and they are on the thicker side, so the scents don’t contaminate other teas as much.

I get 4mil bags. The standard thing 2mil bags will leak out smells and contaminate the other teas.

something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/100-3-x3-small-reclosable-ziplock-bags-4mil-HEAVYDUTY-/140725862913?hash=item20c3ea4201:g:8jUAAOxydkZRjUHV

These work for me and you can’t smell even the strongest teas through them: http://www.ebay.com/itm/50-3-5×5-Ziplock-Stand-Up-Pouches-Bags-SUP-AA-Clear-Silver-/310658911232?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4854b6cc00 They have other sizes too. These fit about 10 teaspoons.

I have gotten the craft paper ones before, but I wanted smaller sizes for samples, so I just bought these:

Bonus US shipping, so I will get them in three days rather than 3 weeks.

I bought these from amazon. They’re 4 mil, which is important, and also rated safe for food (many zip-lock bags aren’t):
