[Nhcoll-l] Specimens tags

[Bentley, Andrew Charles]

Renan

There are a number of companies that supply specimen tags of this kind:

https://www.tlsprinting.com/specimen-tags

We have not ordered any for some time now so cannot comment on quality or price.  However, more recently we have been using the same thermal transfer printer system that we use for specimen labels to print tags using spun bound polyester media.  They hold up really well and using the thicker media ensures durability and that they do not tear.  This has the advantage of being able to print any number sequence on demand as well as include additional information or barcodes if needed.

Would be happy to provide kore information if you are interested.

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Specimens tags

Dear all,


I am planning to buy specimen tags for our collection (should work for specimens submerged in ethanol).

 I wonder if someone has any advice on where to buy museum tags like the one depicted in the image or something better.
