Looking for shrink bands

does anyone have a link or source for shrink bands? I used to get them from nicebottles on amazon but they have been out of the 52-46 that fit 28mm necks. I tried their 38mm and they are way too big, shrink all wrinkly and sad looking. 
 
Filmore has them at a reasonable price but then wants $16 for shipping which is absurd. 
 
Anyone else got any options? The capsule lid prices are a bit high as well $9 for 30

I'm low but not out. How many will get you by? I need to order more anyway.

Burch has them 250 for 10 bucks. But shipping is weird from the bottle companies.

How big of a batch do you have to order SL? I'd throw down lol

The ones I got from Berlin weren't perforated, I don't really like them

250-500 should get me through the winter. 
 
I'm looking at berlin now, https://www.berlinpackaging.com/sbb242-24-mm-black-pvc-2-shrink-bands/ they got better pricing than filmore but shipping still $15... these places want more for shipping than for the product. Silly. 
 
maybe i'll just order enough to make it worth while. 
 
24mm or 28mm? I was using 28mm in the past but they started out pretty loose. .... maybe 28 so they still fit my quadra bottles too.

I got the 28 I'm pretty sure. Do you use a heat gun? They shrink just fine.

If you call them, and order over the phone they will fix the shipping. At least they did when I just ordered bottles. But know the product numbers before you call, cause they sent me little 1" clear shrink bands when I asked for black. They sent me the black ones for free though.

I ordered from Source One Packaging, quantity 20,000 or something like that. I like them because they are taller and work for both 10 and 5 oz woozy. Just a personal opinion, but i dont like short bands that show the fill line. Always looks like the bottle is short filled even when it may not be.

D3, i have that. Wanna trade for some of the Thai sauce? John used it all in a couple stir frys.

Interesting...i was looking at black bands on the berlin site and every size from 24mm to 100mm shows a picture of a 12 oz sauce bottle.

OK, I contacted the supplier.  Will let y'all know what the price is and quantity when I hear back, probably tomorrow.  If anyone wants to get some, let me know.  I don't think I'll be needing all of the 20K right away~~~  :lol:

I'm interested. Ill take however many you need me to get, to take some of the load off of you. Its very generous of you to offer these. I paid more than that for 250 so its a good investment

Sure thing! Ill make another batch and run through the food mill this time. Will send a thick and thin batch of bottles. I should have time to make some tomorrow.

Awesome!  John asked me just last night if we had any more of the Asian sauce.
