Nursery Plant Tags

[ceara]

Where do commercial nurseries get their colorful little plant tags with a photo of the plant and sun/planting instructions? The kind you see on bedding plants.

The John Henry Company is one of the major tag suppliers.

Thanks! That's something that has always bothered me for many years. I wondered where in the heck people got those tags.

I am thinking of locally selling generic Lilies and other things in the future (now there is no longer a local plant nursery!) after I've propagated enough and they are blooming size. And I did not want a cheesy tag.

There is a vendor at our farmers market who has generic tags with pics. They say things like Italian Type Eggplant or Paste Tomato. I agree with your thinking Ceara, that it at least dresses up the plants and gives an indication of what the customer can expect the mature plant to look like.

There are some very familiar names in their tomato tags. Leading in alphabetical order Abe Lincoln And their prices Are not bad. $3.80 for 100 tags with the pics per variety. Min order is fifty bucks though. But then ya gotta make it worth ordering. Thanks for mentioning them I will have to remember them for future reference.

I never saw prices. Where did you find that info?

[klorentz]

With some sites you have to put the item number in the shopping cart to get a price which is what I did. Your not running them through checkout so it is just like asking a clerk at a store to do a price check for ya.
