For my part, I hope that your embossed labels include plant family names (both the --aceae and an English version) as well as scientific names and common names! Your international visitors will be grateful.

It's great to know that there are new botanic gardens in the world!

Subject: Plant Collection Label Resource Question

HI,
Wellfield Botanic Garden is a recent startup beginning
collections management in earnest. I am investigating my accession tag
options for immediate needs and for long-term planning.
What inexpensive options are available besides soft aluminum covered cardboard tags from AM Leonard?
Are there inexpensive embossing options? Do any of you farm out your embossed label production?
For long-term planning what make and model of equipment does your institution utilize?
Thanks for your assistance.
