Hello all.
Here's Maria's dilemma. I hate plastic tags. Hate them with a passion. Don't like the look of them.
I just bought a labelmaker and replaced all my plastic tags with new ones in February of this year. They are already brittle and misshapened.
So, I've been looking online and found this link:
Alitags | Horticultural Aluminium Labels - Metal Plant Labels, Aluminium Tags & Garden Markers
for their aluminum tags. Or, this one for their copper tags:
Alitags | Horticultural Copper Labels - Metal Plant Labels, Copper Tags & Garden Copper Markers
Now, the cost is not abhorrent to me, so I'm looking for comments besides, "OH my God, I can buy ____ amount of orchids for that kind of money."
I want the professional series, because the whole point for me is for the tags to look professional and well, polished.
In any event, what are the pros and cons (besides the cost) that you would see in purchasing these? I don't know enough about metals in relation to orchid culture/growing to make an informed decision, which is why I've come to you brilliant people for your comments.
thanks!!
