thin plastic in sheets

May 9, 2011 8:31 AM

Where can I find poly (polyethylene) binder material in 16" x 20" size? You know the opaque plastic binder cover material that is thin and flimsy, but doesn't tear? I'm looking for the material in sheets, _not_ for large binders. OR suggestions of materials that are much like this material and not very expensive...

Maybe try a big box home improvement store like Home Depot or Lowe's? They might have material like that in rolls or at least something similar.

McMaster-Carr sells a wide variety of plastic sheeting, try looking at their catalog for polyethylene (i.e. starting at page 3565 and working forward). Uline also sells plastic sheeting (largely targeting towards shipping applications).

I've experienced good service from US Plastics. Here is their section including sheeting material. The LDPE sheeting might be what you want.
