Name labels??

I thought about using labels for my rods instead of hand-writing my name or anything else. Those of you who use labels, where do you get them?
Thanks,
Steve

Decal Connection! Give them a call. A full sheet of your labels is pretty inexpensive. They do great work

Here's a third vote for Decal Connection. No doubt about it ... a great group to do business with.

If you wwant to try your hand at it there was an article that showed up in Rodmaker that told how to make your own labels for rods on your inkjet printer. They work real good if you follow the directions. Mine are holding up great even in the sun.

I also used Decal Connection before I got my Alps printer. Now I make my own waterslides.

Tightlines makes sheets of label decals to your custom order and will mess with the fonts and styles for you till you're happy.

Also, Testors (the model paint people) make a decal kit and also supplies additional papers, fixative, and the needed software to make your own.

As always, you guys have some great information. The custome labels from cabochonrods look great, I am going to try that out soon. I had also thought about trying to get some clear mailing labels for my general information like name and phone number, has anyone tried that route?
Thanks, Steve

Steve -

I have tried almost everything imaginable ... IMO, nothing beats the service, selection, ease, quality and price of Decal Connection. Obviously, some people have found other methods that are acceptable for their situation. However, as a OCP riddled full-time custom builder - I have not.
