I used them to put 4 fleece rag quilts in so I could get them in my check in suitcase when we flew to Colorado. Worked great leaving room for other things too. Would not have been able to get them all in the suitcase otherwise.

I found the bags leak after awhile and become brittle...at least in AZ...short term might be okay!

i HONESTLY think that for shipping purposes it would be just fine. I have used them for my clothes and I can take them right out of the bag and wear them. They are not wrinkled.

What about cutting a hole in the plastic bag? That's what I do and haven't noticed any moisture...yet. Now I'm getting nervous.
