Just in case anyone else is having this problem I thought that I would post about it, as there is a solution.
I previously purchased all my shipping supplies from CJ, and just ordered another 100 pink poly mailers, same style and same size 10 x 13, as previous orders.
Went to use them last week and found that it was extremely hard to slide a top that was packaged in a 10 x 13 zip-lock, into the pink poly bag. Also when the pink poly bag was sealed, the zip section of the zip-lock inside was starting to protrude into the poly bag and I could just see it busting through as it got handled through the system so I applied tape to the edges.
Went to check all my bags on hand and decided to measure them - sure enough the NEW pink poly bags were 9-7/8" wide, not the full 10" as all my previous orders. Found a few older bags and measure them and they were indeed a full 10" - so her new supply of pink bags is short by 1/8" and as small as that is, it's makes a big difference when final packaging is being done. I will just use them with my items packaged in my 9 x 12 zip-locks.
I wrote to Threeb and asked if they could measure their pink and blue bags and they wrote back that they measured a full 10", so I ordered them. The bags arrived a few days ago, and they are perfect, full 10" across, the 10 x 13 zip-locks slide right in with no problems or protrusions.
So, if you are having this problem and recently ordered 10 X 13 pink poly bags, it's the poly bags that are off by 1/8" that are causing the problem.
