Default Need some suggestions

Ok, i have been approached with an opportunity to sell my photographs at a high traffic restaurant in Eureka Springs AR. They will not accept any commissions from me, i tried, which is extremely generous of them. They finally accepted a free print for their time and space, of their choice. Anyway, back to the question. What is the best way to display these without putting each in a frame? We thought of plastic bags, but a few pictures are 20x30's, and the minimum I can find anywhere to order is 100 bags at a time. I don't need that many at first, is there anywhere that sells them in smaller quantities? We also thought about putting them on a mat board with it. I'm assuming we should wrap each separately? Or should I just wrap them together, or not even put the mat in a bag? I have never done this at all, and am really in need of some help. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks.

Editing OK?: Ask first

When I do a gallery or a show, I wrap my matted photos in a plastic wrap. I have it done by a friend who has a frame business. She wraps them in a clear thin plastic wrap so smoothly that it is hard to tell they are wrapped.

It is easy to price them this way also. This wrapping give a good clarity to the work and does not cloud or distort it.

good luck with this, I'm sure you'll do very well.
