Phil Palmer Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 Rather than bumping a thread from 2013 I figured starting new might be in order. The source for my mylar/foil/laminated labels has gone away from years ago and I've gone through several orders of very bad replacements. I do a simple Name/Phone/Location on my labels, with no barcode. My inventory is done a different way (spreadsheets, etc). Need a new source. Who do you use for labels and how has the label performed? Thanks all... P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Feeley Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 I've been happy enough with Maverick Label (and ordered more last week). And note that they offer asset tags in different materials. They write: Quote Typical materials are white polyester, metalized matte silver polyester, security silver polyester, destructible reflective vinyl, or LexSaver®plus. For simple, indoor use we have popular White Polyester Asset Tags. These are the most affordable indoor property ID labels available and no one prices or prints them as well as we do. When you need property ID labels for outdoor use, check out our exclusive LexSaver®plus Asset Tags which are a durable and affordable alternative to metal. If you feel that metal is the best fit for your application, then you should order 8-mil Anodized Metal Asset Tags which should give you many years of outdoor and harsh environment use. But I'd guess that's a brand you're familiar with. Did they not work for you? And I'd be happy to hear other's recommendations and experiences.

Phil Palmer Posted January 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 On 1/14/2023 at 6:57 PM, RunAndGun said: My Asset Tag .com Which of the labels did you order? Foilguard, Permaguard or Alumaguard? I've done Foilguard before and they do not last at all, nothing like the video on their site. I jumped to the Alumaguard and they are essentially metal name plates that bend and do not store well. They are ok upon application but they still bend. Expensive and not really good for curved surfaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spin360 Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 Any sources for the European market would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Ear Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 I moved to full color laminated vinyl stickers from Sticker Mule https://www.stickermule.com and have been very happy. I’ve found them to be durable and hold up to all weather and abuse. With a lot of prolonged rubbing (like on talent tx) they aren’t quite as tough as the aluminum tags, but more than enough that i rarely change them.

tourtelot Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 https://idmystuff.com/ Simple plastic labels if you just want to tell your stuff apart from someone else's. These are not "security tags" (no use for those myself) but come on sheets of a bunch of different sizes for not much money. I use them on everything. D.
