i have lots of japanese box sets that take 10 discs and need special bags that i had to make. I tape 1-4 of the japanese plastic sleeves and make one big one.

i have lots of japanese box sets that take 10 discs and need special bags that i had to make. so you basically melt it a bit and then stretch it? i would think that the only way it would work would be to put it on an object the exact same shape as the box set while it's still all melty

rein-o wrote: no stretching. i'll try to post some pictures. you get the larger bag, put the box inside, fold the top over to mark where you want it. take the box out, put a metal ruler on the line and run the hot knife or soldering iron along the ruler and it will cut and seal at the same time.
it should work with all but i know it will work on the bags unlimited type. Oh I see your saying get a bag even bigger then my big box set, and cut it to size. Kind brings me back to square 1, i still need a really big bag

I didn't even bother to check what other goodies they had but I'm sure there were other larger clear plastic bags that could be cut down to size quickly. Also they stocked inexpensive large plastic boxes (crates) that would be ideal for storing laserdiscs that you have maybe no shelf space for. Could be used for boxsets as well as some had lids to keep the dust out. i use little sandwich bags for 45's sometimes lol

I'm not sure if anyone made something large enough for the big 10-14 disc sets though. OK, after quite a bit of delay I got these bags. They are this exact thing: http://www.bagsunlimited.com/p-3442-box ... -flap.aspxWhat they will fit, based on my experimentation: Royal Space Force Memorial Box Galaxy Express 999: Galaxy Box Macross: DYRL Perfect Edition Aim for the Top!: Gunbuster box Brazil (Criterion CAV) Star Trek (the box with movies I-V but not VI) The biggest baddest Tenchi Muyo in Love box, the AC-3 one with the gold disk. This is a perfect fit, but nothing larger will fit in one of these bags. Aliens CAV special edition What won't fit: Schindler's List (not even close) Amadeus: Pioneer Special Edition Z Gundam Green Legend Ran Hopefully if you have at least one of these titles you can figure out if they do what you need them to do. Basically, if its a tight fitting box you might fit a 6LD set in one. Overall I really like these bags, but obviously I need a bigger size as well since there are dozens of Japanese sets these won't fit.

Because those aren't even close to big enough for many LD box sets. The ones I bought were 14x14 and, like I said, there is all that stuff that won't fit. Stuff like the double boxed Gundam and ZZ Gundam aren't even in the ballpark. Those things are HUGE. There are many Japanese box sets that are 4-5 inches thick. These bags will do maybe 1 1/2" thick.
