Re: weatherproof

No I wouldn't use them in place of the Ptouch. these are on 80 count pages - return address style. (other sizes are available) They are handy for quantity situations as in our MG nursery. Some wholesalers supply plant tags with their plants, others charge a reasonable amount. But some don't provide them at all so I end up having to write them on miniblind plastic and that's a lot of writing. They have to be durable and readable.
These labels seem to work well on the miniblinds (it's important that the label be placed on the concave side of the blind.) they could also be placed on pots.

It is cloudy and rainy- not really raining, just
sputting, but definately feels like a spring day
here...

So Kitty, do you think they are better- as in more
durable - than a ptouch label? How does the cost
compare?

weatherproof inkjet labels.  I
contacted the company and asked for a sample; they
were quite generous.
Well, the black ink on these labels is as dark and
readable as the day I put
them out there and they've been through -20F temps,
heavy snow, lots of wind
and rain.  They aren't cheap, but not overly
expensive either, considering.
