We use those bags to hang our in-house puzzles (during normal times) and those bags are the bane of my existence, haha. They tear at the handle so easily! This is coming from a children's librarian, though, and the puzzles see dozens of uses per day in normal times.
Do you have photos using these bag with board games, Dan? Do you hang the games or just use the bags to keep the games contained on the shelf?
Most collections I've seen use rubber h-bands.

Hi Amy,
Hi Amy, we use these hanging bags for our board game collection. They work a bit better than bands because they prevent the box from damage as well.

Hello!
I'm looking to convert our existing (but small) in house board game collection into a circulating collection. Any preferences in types of bands to keep together your board games that circ? I've seen the rubber bands ones and the nylon band ones and I don't know what holds up better in collections. Thank you!
