250 THERMAL PLANT TAGS
(Orange not shown)
These thermal, polyethylene plant tags, 7" x 3/4", have a very smooth surface
on both sides. They are 10 mil in thickness compared to the 12.5 mil thickness of
the vinyl plant tags. Because of the smoothness of the surface of the thermal tags,
some permanent markers will not work. The Sharpie pen is easily rubbed off but may
work for shipping purposes if the Industrial type is used. Some permanent pens that
will work are the Sakura Identi-Pen, the Sakura Permapaque Opaque Pigment
Marker and the black paint sticks, such as DecoColor available at Walmart.
Besides the two Sakura marking pens, I also have a Sanford Uni-Paint opaque,
oil-based paint marker listed. The Sakura pens, and possibly
other permanent markers are satisfactory for shipping and will last for at least
one season exposed to the weather. The black, oil-based paint sticks will last the
longest outside but take longer to dry.
These thermal tags in the 7" x 3/4" size are less expensive than the 7" x 5/8" vinyl tags.
They are perforated and are easily separated. Color is white or lime. The vinyl tags that are currently listed in this storefront are no longer being manufactured and are in limited supply.
