You could use fabric remnants or scraps in different prints (which you can find at fabric stores or thrift stores) and offer a unique bag for each individual puzzle. Alternatively, I highly recommend used fabric that would offer an additional "green" feel to the product. Old flour sacks, canvas or burlap, bed sheets (dyed if necessary), etc. I don't know what the dimensions of these puzzles are, but if you don't want to sew, could you wrap each puzzle in a bandanna or other square of fabric, gather it up into a pouch, and tie it? The pouch wouldn't be "reusable" per se (although most people are smart enough to know how to tie the pouch back the way it was), but I figure most people would want to leave these sitting out anyway.
