Great advice Don, thanks. I have always used ziplocs but like you I am tired of the hassle of sticking on labels and writing on the plastic bags

There are also larger (3.5 x 5.25 or so) coin envelopes at this same store. I think I'll get those so I can fit those LPP and OPP motors.

  I boght my last batch from Office Max,
  Brand: Columbian
  Size: No 3 Coin, 2 1/2 x 4 1/4
  Box Size: 500 envelopes.
  Price : $14.49

  I generally fly models with rubbersizes below .075. If you fly events
  with bigger motors like OPP, these bags can get 'bulky' looking with a
  piece of .110" x 20"long in it. I have also used the 3x5 wax
  paper/stamp type and plastic 3x5 ziplock type bags as well over the
  years. They work fine too but I find the wax stamp ones fell apart
  easier from use. The ziplock ones were OK but you then had to make a
  label up and place it on the bags to write anything on them (same with
  the wax ones) Then I got some plastic ones with the white writing area
  on them, but that tends to bleed if you get rubber lube on it. So of
  all I have tried I still find nothing better than the little yellow
  envelopes. You can write notes on them and they work well. And if you
  open the box nicely, you can use the box as the container you store the
  rubber motors in as well.
