I buy polycarbonate +More plastic pieces from a plastic supplier who also does the cutting. These are 7.5" long by 5/8" wide by 1/8" thick, with one end cut diagonally for easy insertion into the ground or potting medium. I also buy 9 X 12" sheets of "Cleer Adheer", made by C-Line Products, Inc., clear Mylar with an adhesive backing. Each sheet is cut to make two 6 X 9" sheets. The plant names and other information (e.g. source and date planted) are printed onto one 1/2 sheet with the laser printer. That is covered with the other 1/2 sheet. The cost is less than $0.50/label. This sounds rather expensive. I just got a box of all-metal (galvanized wire with zinc nameplates) labels from Paw-Paw Everlast Label Co at $0.17/label. I expect them to last forever. They have a website: http://www.everlastlabel.com/ with more details. KK ----- http://www.kozminski.com/ "Divide by cucumber error.
