I've used the Aluminum ID Markers. They are easy to use and last a lot better than the tags that come from nurseries. I'm sure nursery tags are cheaper in the quantities that nurseries use, but for smaller quantities, the low overhead (nothing to buy but the tags themselves) and long lifetime of the aluminum markers is a great value.

The lowest priced is just to use "Aluminum ID Markers" they can be imprinted
by pressing with a ball point pen. The letters will stay for years. They
come in packs of 50 with wires for tying to the pot or plant for about $5.95
per pack. Try Mountain Valley Growers for these.

If you want something a little more professional try a Dymo Professional
Typewritter that uses Aluminum tape and impresses the letters and it even
punches a hole for a thin wire to tye to the plant or pot. The machine and
kit cost about $170 with 16 foot rolls of aluminium tape refills about about
$6 each. They also last for years.

If you want to go professional try a nursery printer that prints on plastic
or laminate. They start at about $850 and print regular nursery tags with or
without pictures.

Anyone have a suggestion for a plant label printer for a good value?
I know there are suppliers of custom printed labels, but since I have lots
of varieties of plants I really like to have a printer at hand.

Thanks,
