Dymo Labels

I cannot attest to the value of the following, yet, as I won't be
actually using them until this spring...
I bought a DYMO "Letra Tag" at Wal-Mart for $20-30, and it prints out
the label (including double row if you like) after typing in the name.
The thing I am hopeful about concerning permanency is based on the fact
that you can buy metallic labels for it. These are claimed to be
weatherproof. The tape is 1/2" wide. I will be sticking them on cap
style metal garden markers.

You have to buy an

the aluminum and also stainless steel labels, which I haven't tried, from
the A.M. Leonard company - they have a website)
But you have to turn the wheel and press each letter out one at a
time. When I already have the plant names and other info in a Word
table, spreadsheet, or database file I certainly don't want to have to
capture all those keystrokes again. That's why I mailmerge to clear
address labels (about 5 minutes for a thousand!) and then peel and
stick them on the zinc labels with legs. If they're not as permanent
as the steel dymo tags (and they're not), they're a heck of a lot
faster to do.
