Default My Tag/Label Solution

I was browsing my local Office Supply (rhymes with maples), and I came across my tagging/labeling solution.

I am sure it has been posted here before, but I was impressed with the results

Here is "my" solution:

Purchased:

One Garvey Tagger Gun & 1000 Garvey Tagger Tails



One ream 110 lbs. Card Stock paper (250 Sheets)
===

Created "my" tags on the laser printer


Front & Back View (Company name ommitted to comply )

Popped one on a shirt



Bagged One Shirt



Ready for shipping



====

My issue with Labels and Tagging were dealt with for less than $70.00

How much did the tagging gun set you back? Most of us buy them on eBay as they generally seem to be a heck of a lot cheaper there (certainly not a big deal in the long run, as it doesn't exactly take long to make make the twenty bucks ).

Probably Tianbao, since that's the main one on eBay.

It's pretty much exactly the same gun, if not completely identical.

It's only twenty bucks, so it's not a big deal. Although it's also 875%

THANKS Jim, I think that is a great solution to tagging. I told my wife about this and she has one that she uses for basting quilts. I told her it will be doing double duty. Hey check out my new shirt design. This one is dedicated to ( my hero ) you, Mr. Cool Tech! LOL ............. Good luck ..JB

You didn't have to blank out the company names used in your helpful example photographs. Heck, even Lou throws a plug for himself in his videos
