    Default Neck tags

    Any idea why neck tags suddenly went off the market? Its my understanding they arent even being made anymore. Kinda sucks.....

    BAP is likely correct, when manufaturers make too little, they drop items.
    Try other hang tags in other industries, I know for one thing, hang tags are still used, in fact I recently bought 2x3" wire attached hang tags that I use to lable my bulk syrup in 5 gal jugs. When I open a 40 gal barrel, or even a 26.5 gal one, I don't usually pack the entire amount at once, I often pump 5, 10 or 15 gal into 5 gal jugs, lebel it for grade (specifically the % of light transmission) and label each jug. As I pump it, it gets filtered, so usually when I need more of a grade, I can just pour in into the bottler, heat it, retest density and light transmission (LT) using my Hanna checker and bottle it. Reheating generally drops the LT 2-4%. To label those jugs I use blank hang tags that I write the LT and the date packed. My tags have a fine wire attached. I think I bought them thru Amazon.
    If you go a similar route you will likely want to get labels to place on the blank tags. I never used hang tags, prefering all info stuck to the container. I use label guns, I have 1, 2 and 3 line guns
    Dave Klish, I recently bought 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.
