How do I best bag a snack for retail sale -- Do I do it myself or hire
it out somewhere? I am considering starting a small business and plan
to market and sell some snack-type foods.  Ideally I would like to
package these snacks in a bag that hangs from a peg in a
convenience/grocery store.  How do I go about making these bags myself
without any huge investment, or where do I find a means to have them
made up for me and I seal one edge or what?  The bags will need to be
labeled (printed on the plastic or a sticker or something stuck on)
across the hanging area so the product is very visible.  This business
will start out slow and I do not want to invest a huge amount of $,
but I wasnt to have something better than a brownie wrapped in Saran
wrap with a sticker covering the entire product...

First be sure to check with your state or county health department for
regulations concerning packaging food; labeling requirements, taxes,
permits etc. There are some companies that sell small plastic bags and
heat sealers.  For a couple hundred bucks you could probably get the
supplies you need.
