One of my business partners just called Laven this morning, and they said that their minimums were 1000 per label. What am I missing?

I will be calling them 1st thing tomorrow morning. I have been working with customlabels4U.com and there prices seem reasonable. Wouldn't hurt to look around though. Ill let you guys know what they said.

Very confusing...their website clearly states "no minimum". I'll be interested in hearing the outcome. Keep us posted.

I called Laven this morning and they were super nice. I'll let everyone know as soon as I get some price quotes.

I actually am changing tactics now because we want hang tags that are also stickers... I think I saw somewhere on this forum that Cruz label offered that. Does anyone know of other companies that also offer sticker/hang tags?

Can anybody who got samples from them post a picture and maybe a sample quote they gave you?

It says "no minimums" but others have reported a 500 piece minimum.

I didn't receive samples but I did receive a quote.

My logo (The one on my shirt) to create a - 2" x 2" tag, 1 color : white,
cost will be -
1250 total @ $.60 each
2500 total @$.50 each
plus $85 set up - one time
delivery- roughly 1 week

This gets pretty pricey and time consuming since they would have to be applied too. Our printer could do this for about this price and we wouldn't have to do the application.

Here's a quote:

Quote: 1. printed on satin (what most do for t-shirts/lower quantities A. 1 colour logo print only 100 @ $70 250 @$ 80 500 @ $90 1000 @ $120 Plus $50 plate - one time only Del - roughly 1 week B 2 colour logo printing 100 @ $80 250 @ $90 500 @ $100 1000 @ $130 Plus $70 total for plates - one time only Del - roughly 1 week 2. woven label - for sure higher end, but not as easy on the pocket book on lower quantities 100 @$300 500 @$ 350 1000 @ $375 2500 @ $425 5000 @$ 550 Delivery - 2 weeks

Hope this helps some of you.

Thanks for that breakdown, Greg, that really helps.

I wonder why some are reporting a 500 piece minimum?

As I thought, those prices are somewhat outrageous.

No, but their price for their minimum (1200) is pretty much the same price as the 100 minimum from here.

Probably cheaper in fact.

My woven luckylabel labels (smaller than those above, so a bit cheaper) were USD $200 for 1200 (I opted for express post). Total time from quotation request to having the finished labels in my hand (including a digital photo of finished labels for my pre-production approval): 7 days.

I sent a quote request Thursday evening, and had the finished product the following Thursday morning, so we're actually talking 4 business days.

And better quality than the samples I got from the one US company that sent samples (most ignored the request, even though I filled out their own "request samples" forms). It's not just price, their quality, service and speed are better too.

People get caught up in screen charges. People get caught up in minimum orders. People get sucked in by free shipping. Got to compare the whole cost!

To be fair only an idiot would spend $300 on 100 labels when 1000 cost $375, so the comparison should probably be made at the upper level anyway.

Putting the question another way, does luckylabel do low minimum orders XXXX? No. Does luckylabel do low minimum orders $$$? Yes.
