These LEGO nozzles are presorted into bags with quantities 10, 50 and 1000.
Whether you’re a LEGO seller, a LEGO builder or both, presorting your pieces into quantities in advance can streamline the process of pulling pieces from your inventory, saving you time and headaches down the road.
Using the 10, 50, 100 Quantity Rule
If you’re not sure how many pieces to put into one bag, start by presorting LEGO pieces into quantities of 10. Then, group 5 bags of 10 pieces together into a larger bag (for 50 pieces total). Finally, group 2 bags of 50 pieces together into a bag that’s larger still (for 100 pieces total).
Preventing recounts: seal bags closed with tape
You may choose not to seal the bags of smaller quantities like 10, but sealing the bags of larger quantities like 50, 100, 1000, etc. can prevent unnecessary, time consuming recounting in the future. If the bag is sealed and the tape is intact, then you can be confident that you haven’t dipped into the bag of 50 to fill and order or to complete your LEGO creation.
Presorting brings flexibility
The beauty of presorting LEGO pieces is you can “break the seal” on the larger quantities on an as needed basis. So if a buyer purchases 42 LEGO pieces, break the seal on a bag of 50. Count out 4 bags of 10 pieces, then break open a bag of 10 and count out two more pieces. Easy!

Spending a little time presorting LEGO pieces now can save you a lot of time later. Keep in mind that counting thousands of pieces in one sitting can be mind-numbing and grueling. If you find your mind wandering, take a break and resume counting later.
