<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">We are looking for tie-on tags, which can be used to label bags of specimens that are submerged in alcohol in 30-gallon steel tanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">For similar purposes, our ichthyology department uses 100% rag card stock tags, 1.5 x 2.75 inches, with a reinforced brass eyelet. Unfortunately, their supply is nearly exhausted and the source of the tags is unknown.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">Can anyone suggest a supplier for tie-on tags that withstand long-term storage in 85% ethanol?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you very much,<o:p></o:p></p>
