Why not use galvanised wire and make your own; very cheap, very easy, don't rust, last years.


Aluminium labels work very well I find.

Wow Susan, that is impressive.  Big pat on the back to David for recommending them, I hope the alpine garden is already looking less like a graveyard, I certainly am very pleased with them - although I wish I had gone for the finest nib.

I went for the finest nib  and the 10cm black labels, and so far am very happy.  Although I paid shipping,the VAT was removed so that helped. From our point of view the exchange rate is not great, but 1000 will last a while if I'm careful and if they withstand our sunshine! At present the sunshine is not a bother I'm afraid.

I buy by the 1000 also. The extra fine paint pens are excellent. Their last supplier was having problems with ink suddenly blotting so they changed to a new pen. So far so good. Good news with the rusting label holders. I asked for only 12 to replace the rusted ones. He sent me another 50!
