Making my own Spawn Bags. Need a supplier

Hey guys/girls. I am looking at bumping up spawn production and want to start making my own bags. I have been using bags with filters already attached and I like them but they could be better. I find that the filter is too low. Or it could be said that I am over filling them. I have had a few where grain has come into contact with the filter even though the grain is 4 inches below the filter. It usually ends in contaminants once the filter gets compromised by one piece of grain.
My plan is to make the bags with no side filter and to use a polyfil filter zip tied in the top.
So I need a supplier for the rolls of plastic. I like the 4x8 size. Will most likely cut the bags at 12-16 inches.
Is polypropylene the correct type of material for the bags? I have been using 1/2 - 1 gallon jars until a few months ago. Still a newb when it comes to bags.
Where should I buy them? What mil? 2-4 mil I would think. Thanks for the input.

Outgrow on eBay sells these bags but with the filter already fitted, they work pretty good in my experience. But yes polypropylene is the plastic they use, pp5 to be exact.
They also have a website http://out-grow.com
But try not to use more than 1 to 1 1/2 pounds in those bags

Myco supply has rolls of plastic that you can make bags out of. Polypropylene is the correct material. 2 mil is what I use. Search ebay. I get my bags from "southeast mushroom company" The bags from them are 2 mil. 24" high, x 9-1/2" long, x 5-1/2 wide with a .5 micron filter patch.
Do you have a plan as far as how you are going to provide filtered gas exchange on the bags you generate?

Thanks for the info. I will look into buying a roll. I do not want them if they have a filter already attached.
