The mylar is Cleer-Adheer Clear Laminating Sheets No. 65001 which I buy in
boxes of 50 for around $25. The sticks are either ones I cut or which I
farm out to aplastics company. I am now looking for a local company to do
it. I don't have a favorite polycarbonate plastic brand. I suggest that if
you wish to do this, you look around for a local company to do it. Normally
if you ask the company to do it as a baskground job, you can get a better
price. Some years ago (~7?) the price of acrylic labels, including both
material and cutting was $0.30. Polycarbonate will probably cost double
that. These plastics come in 4' X 8' sheets. I am about to get a full
sheet's worth of label sticks.
>How do you cover the printing? Stick the two halves of a sheet together?
yes
In my recent labels, much nicer than the one for Genista dalmatica, and
taking advantage of the much wider array of fonts than were available 15
years ago, I now use 18point Helvetica or Arial for the plant name and 9
point for the source and date of planting.
