    Default Clicker Bag Tape?

    What size (3/4"; 1/2"; or?) tape measure do you use in your "SMALL" (5" x 6") Clicker Bags? I tried an 1" tape but could hardly open the bag. Thanks for any help. Diane

    I have done both. Maybe you have it installed in the cuff too tight. that would make it hard to open. Also, my first one, I put the tape measures in backward. Doesn't work.

    Well, first of all we call them "snap" bags here in Virginia but it's the same thing. I bought a 3/4" tape in the Dollar Store and it was so flimsy that I had to double it. So I guess it's up to you as to how strong you want it to be and how much money you want to spend on your tape measure. If your tape is so stiff that you can hardly open your bag, perhaps you bought a tape that is "too good" to be used in bags - like a carpenter quality tape?
