Here's another custom silkscreened ribbon order I completed over the weekend. I think it came out great. Two rolls will be cut up for tags, and the other roll will be used as ribbon for packaging.
I get a lot of emails from people wondering how many "tags" one can get from a spool of ribbon. A lot depends on the size of the type. (so far, most of the type, ie..FroggieBaby™, measures over 2 inches) I usually leave .5 on each side of the type allowing enough room to cut and then sew the tags into your product.
The average amount is @75 tags per spool. I then give @ 10 more cut tags from my test strip that I do. So that's about .41 cents per tag. Now if you have a smaller type, like the one I did for Mary Ann's grandmother, where we only used her initials I counted over 150 tags from a single spool! That brings the cost to about .23 cents per tag! sweet.
The other thing people email me about is my packaging for the ribbon. If someone has a "brand" in place I try to create spool labels that match their brand. For FroggieBaby, she has a distinct brand, which helps me to create really cute labels.
Feel free to email me with additional questions. I'd be happy to answer any of them.
Thanks to everyone for their orders. I so appreciate it.
