Baggie Sizes

I've searched the forums a little and anything regarding "baggie sizes" is people arguing how much comes in a dub in their area.

What I need to know is what size little zip baggies typically will hold a gram, 6th, 1/4, and half. I need them for each of those amounts. I don't want to purchase 1000 of them of each size and not be able to fit it all in or not get it to close.
 
Some of you need to calm down and not be so paranoid. LEO is not gonna come knocking at my door, serve a warrant, or call in the SWAT and raid my house because I'm asking about baggie sizes. And I'm asking hypothetically. Where in lies the jurisdiction here or probable cause? How does that even equate to a crime (intent to distribute w/o any drugs)? Even if your wild conspiracies were to pan out and they show up at my door "out to get me," they could just as easily end up finding nothing because nothing is actually going on. I know there are a lot of dumbfucks on here, but don't generalize. Before you try to school someone on the legal exposure, thing about it: who knows the law better than the people breaking it?

Back to the topic at hand:
If you want a little more back story; there's nothing of quality in my area (like a 30 mile radius) and if there is, it certainly is kept a good secret and no one knows how to find it. I'm hypothetically part of a committee planning a hostile takeover of the majority local market share. We found a good broker of high end stuff for cheap and want to monopolize the area. It wouldn't be all the same stuff all the time, we can negotiate for different product. But we just don't want it showing up here and there often or have clients have to search for who has it, or even if this is really the actual stuff. We want to "brand" it and we're going to start a marketing campaign. We have a network of about a dozen trusted distributors and we're working on covering a larger area by finding more distributors and matching their source's price but with higher quality shit.

Firstly, we're gonna launch our brand by giving it out free along with some wild story of "the brand" to create a buzz (like straight from Cali, developed by the Dutch, bred with BC's elite, cures cancer, grown by the Most Intersting Man in the World, blessed by Chuck Norris) and give out about 4000 sample sized bags (1/4g for a taste). Hopefully, they'll come back with money in hand asking for more of out stuff and it'll be the same price as they were paying before. After that, we'll need baggies for every other size up to an ounce (we're not distributing in any larger quantities for a discount). So, it's not just some stuff you're buying in a makeshift bag, standard plain clear or tacky patterned bag. It's going to be highly recognizable and people will ask for it by name. It will always come in a branded bag, be medical quality (have no seeds, bugs, or mold), always be available (no dry spells) and have everyone talking about it. And if positive word travels as fast as they claim, we'll have others small-timers wanting to sell our stuff cause they can't compete. And "Operation: Weedwacker" isn't going to happen until we can be certain all our ducks are in a row. So again, I'm inquiring about what would be an adequate size for each amount. I'm asking for your experience before I purchase a ridiculous amount of custom bags.

Yes, I know that different or unique bags can "trace" back to the source, but the individual distributors would get a brick and some bags. It's not like they already come prepackaged from one source. Just as if they were plain bags, the product could come from anywhere and would no easier for LEO to track down.

A sandwich bag will hold everything from a gram to an oz. why OCD the shit down to pretty little bags that are the size of the quantity? I promise your buyers aren't gonna go awwww my fucking dealer gave me my 1/8 in a sandwich bag.

edit: I didn't read your big post... It's not good to mix meth with business brainstorming.

I've gone back and read your whole post out of boredom and its hilarious to say the least. It sounds like you've just had a marathon weekend where you watched breaking bad, weeds and half baked. If you had continued to write your story of awesomeness is where it would have unfolded more into scar face. Mansions, whores, piles of bud on your desk and a rocket launcher mounted to your m16.

You want any joe blow douche with a free sample of your dankness to be able to purchase more from you yet you're addressing a baggie being too custom and leading cops to you? Did you wake up retarded or is it something you were born with?

I never claimed to know how to sell or anything. But enlighten me. I'm just a broke, jobless MBA grad that's trying to help orchestrate someone else's operation. I wasn't looking at this as "dealing." I was looking at it as any product based business model. My goal was to offer a better product value than a competitor, by offering something same quality but cheaper or better quality at the same price. If you had a choice something ok and something excellent at the same price which would you choose? The branding was to deter people claiming to be our product and riding our coattail like the Foakley's to Oakley Sunglasses or the Cucci knockoffs to Gucci purses.

My target market wasn't the cheap ass stoners who want to buy as much as they can with as little money as possible. Its the college aged kids with their parent's disposable income and sick of smoking whatever is available.

From reading posts about baggies people hate bags tied in a knot, half empty bags (makes them feel shorted) and the paranoid people claim they can always track you by your bag type.

The first 2 responses I got here were "so you're a distributor" and "use gallon sized bags". I wasn't looking for ridicule, just a simple response to my question from someone's experience.

Building a marijuana empire takes years, if not decades, of practical weed business practices. Including identity, security, economics and yes, even branding. Successful dealers work through word of mouth, not marketing. To me, it sounds very unsafe for your twelve small timers and in turn, unsafe for those above them. Be careful.

You've obviously taken a lot of flak for your question. This might be the wrong forum...I've only been here a little while, but most people here seem to grow for themselves, their friends and as caregivers. Maybe a few make a few bucks at it. But my guess is a very, very small percentage is actually dealing the way you describe you will be (and yes, it is dealing -- call it what it is) and therefore not only can't point you to the manufacturer of the "right" bags for your operation but also might be slightly offended by the question.

But back to your question: I suggest you purchase the amounts you mention and then look at an assortment of bag manufacturers to assess size and quality -- you don't want your bags splitting open if they're too cheap, etc. I know this because a friend of mine is a chocolatier and it took her a month to find the right producer of bags for her product.

Also -- just fyi, bags are out in my neck of the woods. Dealers around here use hard plastic boxes, which are more sniff-resistant (lots of police dogs around these days). So that might be another way for you to differentiate your brand. :)

It's not your product or brand, your Just getting a good price and reselling; don't worry about baggies.

No one gives a shit what you bag it in, you're wasting, time, and energy; go out go the grocery store and get the cheapest bags available.

Does sound like a plan fuelled from a weekend of HBO movies.
