I swear by my P-Touch label maker and I still have legible labels from 2004. -----Original Message----- From: pbs <pbs-bounces@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> On Behalf Of Shoal Creek Succulents via pbs Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2022 11:08 AM To: Pacific Bulb Society <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> Cc: Shoal Creek Succulents <scsnursery1@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [pbs] tags I wonder about the longevity of P-Touch labels. How long do they last before fading? Peeling the label backing takes a long time if there's a lot to label. I also have a Thermal transfer printer, which uses wax to transfer text on the label. I suspect the text should last a long time, but the problem has been finding a UV rated label. I bought some 4" x 1" labels for the printer and they didn't make it through this season (just in the greenhouse where the sun is somewhat muted). Vinyl is a good idea! https://flori-culture.com/products/… Best regards, Lisa On Wed, Sep 21, 2022 at 8:59 AM Tim Eck via pbs < pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> wrote: > I recall much discussion on tags and markers, but the specifics fade > so I don't recall whether this answer was given before. > On another list a person made the best suggestion for tags I have > heard - vinyl siding.
