Introduction
: Aluminium Plant Tags
Annual labelling is a thing of the past with Alitags
Aluminium Plant Label, leaving you time
to do other gardening jobs and saving the frustration of forgetting the
names of your plants due to ineffective labelling. Our Aluminium plant markers are made from specially etched and anodised
aluminium, a material of traditional character, which will not compete
with the plants for attention, but will last for decades. Both
our permanent labelling and Alitags are used worldwide in Botanical
gardens and Research Institutions, gardens open to public including the
National Trust, and Council Parks Department. ALITAGS featured in the
Consumers Association Publication Gardening Which, and have also been
featured on many television programs and recommended in many newspapers
and magazines.
Choose
the right labels for your plants
Our Aluminium plant labels/markers
can either be used by tying onto the plant or pushed into the ground. A4,
A6 and A3 labels which offer both options can have their stems bent around
the plant and pushed through the hole. P8 which also offer both options
can be bent to 90o so that the labels is read level to the
ground. A5 and A51 are ideal for shrubs and P8 is ideal for
small plants and alpine for examples.
|
 |
The standard Victorian label (A7 & P7) with 2 holes is a
traditional shape for fruit trees, roses and wall plants. The
Victorian labels are also available with a single hole for
nailing directly on the tree trunk or onto a post. |
|
|
| |
ALITAGS
are available in 2 versions : Pencil Alitags and Professional Alitags, both
of which are made from special Aluminium.
- Pencil Alitags are 0.5mm thick, and can be written with pencil only.
- Professional Alitags are 0.8mm thick, and can not only be written with
pencil but can also be punched with Alitags Character punches. |

TIP
: If you just want to write on the labels with
pencil, we recommend you use Pencil Alitags which are good enough. You do NOT need the Professional Alitags unless you need
stronger labels or longer and larger stem labels. |
|
| |
|
PENCIL
ALITAGS |
|
Alitags plant labels are made from
aluminium with a special surface. They can be
written with an ordinary HB pencil or our Alitag Pencil.
The pencil will react with the special surface, making
the writing permanent. Pencil has been reported to have last over 30
years on etched and anodised aluminium. It will not be washed off by the
rain. A rubber can be used to remove
the pencil within one year, if you wish to reuse the labels. Pencil Alitags are
approximately 0.5 millimetre thick. |
|
ALITAGS PENCIL |
|
 |
Alitag Pencil is made from solid pure graphite
which is darker than ordinary HB pencil. Unlike
ordinary HB pencils, our Alitag Pencil has no
wood round it, the whole pencil is a solid pure
graphite measuring 7mm in diameter and 17.50 cm
long.

TIP :
We do NOT recommend you use any other so called "indelible" pens on
Alitags, becasue they will not last. Simply use an ordinary HB pencil
or our Alitags pencil only. |

PROFESSIONAL ALITAGS |
|
Many gardeners and plantsmen have become frustrated by plastic labels,
which weather harden and become brittle, snapping easily, and indelible
inks that only produce labels which fade and become illegible. The Alitags
system of labelling is TRULY PERMANENT - the
professional Alitags are 0.8mm thick (about the thickness of the average
knife blade) and the lettering, effected by punching the letters of
the plant name into the surface of the label, cannot wear off or fade, but
are truly permanent. |

Wooden Holding Box for
Character Punches |

0.8mm thick |
| |
|
TIP : you can also
write on the professional alitags with an ordinary HB
pencil or our Aliags pencil. |
| |
|
TIP : Most customers who bought character
punches without a jig came back to buy a jig later.
Unless you have already got a jig, we do recommend that
you buy it together with labels and character punches to
save the cost of P&P later. |
| |
|
TIP : Character Punches
come from a manufacturer in a rather tight plastic box.
For an extra cost, we supply a wooden holding box that
keeps each character apart, making it easier to use.
|
|
|
The lettering
process
uses 37 characters (alphabet, &, and numbers), which are available in 3
sizes; 6mm and 5mm for trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants; and 3mm for
alpine plants. The character punches are used individually as required to
produce the plant names; each letter punch is tapped into the surfaced
leaving a lasting impression which provide a most professional, truly
permanent, resilient, and clear label. |

|
A Jig
is available to aid the positioning of the character punches The jig,
which is made of steel and brass, clamps the labels in position and the
calibration ensures straight lines and even spacing of characters. |
