I've had success with eco-film from Imprintables Warehouse, or a digital print on my versacamm using solutions opaque.

I also am wondering if I can use eco-film for tagless labels,
I'm already using it for most of my designs, I currently have too low of a production run to sub out to a screen printer.
I think the logo size would be ok, but not sure how small to make other info.
Question is, how small of a font can you use successfully?

Thans for the reply Greg
Thats a good question JV. i can imagine the weeding process, if you have very small fonts and alot of wording.
but would be great to do if you have small runs.

Also, i have a Roland Stick SV12 vinyl cutter, hows the cutting detail in terms of small fonts?

Thanks again

Weeding something that small would way take a creative layout and would still be way more tedious than its worth.

I don't know what kind of volume you need, but the CAD-PRINTZ Digital transfers from Stahls are about $.15/sq. inch, $20 minimum purchase. I print my own so I don't know the specifics (set-up fees, etc.) that Stahls may charge, but assuming your tagless labels are around 1"x1" you can buy 130 full color labels for 20 bucks!

PS - the Solutions Opaque is the CAD-PRINTZ material you will want

We've cut as small as 12pt text for our trade show polos. It's pretty small, about 2/5". I'm sure you can cut a little smaller but the weeding would be pretty tough.

Greg is right, it would probably be a little tedious. Depending on how much you'd have on the tag, it could take quite a while to weed each one.

I would just find a transfer screen printer. Since they are labels you can gang them up like crazy. They would be real screen printed labels. You could probably get 100's or thousands for cheap. Check it out and just heat press them in.

Good Luck
