Thats correct 4Leaf clover. The best way seems to be to fold a piece of card stock and place them in between and staple or tape it closed. Without this , they don't stay in the envelope very well.

I haven't had any problems using rubber cement and a letter.

Unless someone decided not to tell me, I've mailed out about 50 or so, and have lost none. I use index cards, and tape the little plastic baggie onto them. But, you have to get tape past each edge of the baggie. When it hits the scanning machine (automated), if any edge is just the baggie, the tag shoots out. Then, when in the envelope, it's like a knife. I figure, if they can rip the whole envelope open to get the card out, the tag wasnt going to survive anyway. Cuz that sucker ain't coming off that card. . . . I also tape the card in place in the envelope, to kind of delay it shifting. it might break loose, but by then, it should be through the tough sorting. Its cheap, and only costs you a couple bucks for packing tape and index cards.

My two cents :roll:

Did you get my email about the colors?

General note to everyone:

If you are going to be picky about colors you HAVE TO provide a Pantone Matching System (PMS) color number. No other numbers will work right. It has to be PMS. Someone familiar with optics can explain.

What I've done with mine is staple them to a piece of card stick. I then tape that piece of card stock to an index card and staple around all 4 sides.

I'd be surprised if one managed to make it through that :P

and see...I didn't think the staples were okay (don't ask me why...)

I have been removing them from the bags. I won't anymore.

BTW...I need to order more tags already 8)

Tha wheel was running until 6am this morning. I saw that some Blueprints were in around 2, so I started on them. 30-some later, I was finished and GirlGeek's alarm clock was waking her up and putting me to sleep!
