[NHCOLL-L:2840] tags for ethanol collection

[Christopher Conroy]

>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,
