Anyone know where to get storage bags for arcade games? I'm looking for something like poly or something not the heavy duty vinyl covers. I've seen a few Christmas tree bags but most seem like they would be a bit short or $20 or more. The Christmas tree bags are actually a tube that you have to tie up the end. I'm okay with that. I've checked the Uline catalog and the closest i can find there are 48" rolls. I'm not sure if that means they are 48" around or 96" around (48" tube flattened.) If they are 96" around that would probably work, but i don't need 250' of it.

Uline will also make custom bags.

Any one have a source for such a thing, or interested in a group buy?
 
Never thought about McMaster Carr. Their jumbo protective bag says 60"x108." If it is actually 60" flat it would work out. Have to make a call.
Thanks!
 
i use couch storage bags,they are heavy duty. cost about $8.00 each. great for hauling games in the rain. i get mine from fred meyers.
 
All my restored games are wrapped when not played.

In Oregon people know Fred Meyers. Everywhere else in the world Fred Meyers is a strip mall diamond store.
 
Necro thread bump, I know, but this is an "on-topic" update. Does anyone have any other ideas on where to get something suitable for transporting games? I'd rather not have to depend on shrink wrap to keep my game dry for a 300 mile open trailer journey.

I have a waterproof car cover I use in my truck bed to slide and lay the game over it and then fold it over and cover it over like a large bed sheet, then I use ratchet straps to hold it all down for transporting. It ends up looking like a mummified cabinet laying in the bed of my truck.
