Ordering syrup labels
I'm getting ready to order printed high quality labels. I've send quote requests to CLOV and syruplabels.com. Any other leads? I do not want to print my own, I want to order custom printed labels. Ideas please? I will in time be ordering in quantities of 1000 and 2000 on rolls.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.

I've ordered from SyrupLabels.com for the past 10+ years, they do a great job, quality is excellant and they're easy to work and communicate with.
Mine are all on rolls of 500, which makes application a simple task. Made with a clear gloss laminate over the label they are water proof and hold up very nicely.

John, one of my current labels came from syruplabels.com Yes they are good I just wanted to check around. My other 2 labels were done locally, but that printer went out of business. Too bad, he was a nice guy.

Dave, I just wrapped this project up for us purchasing two labels. For us we worked with a local company which has had some experience in the maple industry here in the mid-west. What I have learned is when you think you have your label down exactly order the "one offs" which are samples, usually 1-4 labels. By doing this you maybe eliminating any potential problems and saving money. For us if we purchased 1,000 labels the design and artwork was covered in the expense of the label. Pricing for us was around .40 per label.
2022 - 157 taps, 40 gallons of syrup
2021 - 171 taps buckets and tubing, 41 gallons of syrup
2020 - 225 taps bags and tubing, 45 gallons of syrup
2019 - 180 taps buckets and bags, 50 gallons of syrup
Lapierre 2x8 Vision with reverse flow, hood & preheater
Leader Micro2 RO
Lapierre 10" short bank press
We order from syruplabels.com as well. However, we needed 1.5" circles not offered in the discounted run they do. We went to vistaprint.com, worked with a designer (for free) to get the labels the way we wanted them and ordered them. With a quick internet search for coupons, you can get up to 50% off. Our last order was for 1000 labels and it was round $0.15/label with coupons. Glossy print and they stick very well.
305 taps on 2 Shurflo's, 31 taps on 3/16" and 229 taps on gravity. 565 in all
Mountain Maple S3 controller for 145 of the vacuum taps
2x6 Darveau Mystique Oil Fired Evaporator w/ Smoky Lake Simplicity Auto Draw
Wesfab 7” filter press
The artwork is all done already on mine, but there is some minor type changes. On my local guy who retired, he did the artwork and printed 500 labels which were 3.5" x 2.75" and were a unique shape for $.27 each.

I suggest getting a quote from Studley Printing in Plattsburgh. https://www.studleyprinting.com/
I have used several companies through the years including CLOV and SyrupLabels... This year I went to custom labels for all of our products and Studley gave us the best price.

We used www.websticker.com for our labels. They did a good job helping us tweak the design to make it our own. Local company in Stowe, VT.

600ish taps and looking for more.
I ended up using my old printer who now sells for his new employer. The labels were priced right and quality was top notch. Good adhesive and well done. I got them from Ansun Graphics in Syracuse, NY. Their salesman Dwayne knows what to use for syrup labels. However I chose a lower cost option, mine are on 5 label strips with 2 holes at the top to hang them, that option cost quite a bit less than on rolls. I get 5 of my labels on an 8.5" strip.
