These are the metal labels that I use for putting my clear laser labels
on. I usually screw them directly into the landscaping timbers edging
most of my beds and avoid the "graveyard" effect. I just ordered 200
more of just the plates. I am using a 96 order form so the price has
probably increased but the face plates alone were $11.00 per hundred.
