[NHCOLL-L:2841] RE: tags for ethanol collection

[Schneider, Gregory]

I spoke with Jim Russell of the TLS Co.  He said he would send me some
sample printed tags of the "colored"  Forbon vulcanized fiber.
According to the people at NVF, it should perform the same as the old
Forbon White Tag (see copy of message below).

Forbon vulcanized fibre is a chemically pure (per ASTM D 710 Standards)
wood cellulose material that contains no resins or bonding agents. The
colorfast permanent dyes used for tinting some products are chemically
fixed to the cellulose during the raw material papermaking step. The
dyes do not bleed during the laminating process which involves purifying
the product in water. The colors do not fade during the bleaching
followed by washing step which brightens the "white" products.

 

The tinted Forbon vulcanized fibre will perform as a tag/label the same
as the white Forbon. I am faxing a MSDS for Forbon vulcanized fibre.

	Hello,
	
	      I am trying to find a distributor for small paper tags to
go on specimens in the field in formalin or ethanol. These do not need
any text or barcoding, but do need to be punched. We write on both sides
with permanent ink.
	      I have tried Avery-Dennison with no luck. They do not make
any custom tags. Allen-Bailey has sold this portion of their company to
TLS printing. But, TLS gets all of their material, a vulcanized fiber,
from NVS which is no longer manufacturing plain white material. All they
have left is tinted blue or orange on one side. While I am assured it
will not bleed, we would prefer just plain white paper. Our tags are
11/16" by 1/4" with rounded corners and a 1/16" hole for string. When
last purchased in 1988, it was called Stock 10.FW by Dennison Eastman.
We are looking to buy about 100,000.
	      Thanks for any advice or leads. Please send responses to
me directly, or to the list if you think there is general interest. I
can send a list of responses to NHColl if people ask.
	
	Thanks,

	Chris
