Hey Marilyn! :) A lot of the girls that consign with me use baggie tags. The girls who make clothes and jewelry have little tags included too. It's really a nice touch to the finished product. I do baggie tags as well as "hang tags" in any size and shape you need :)

Moo cards are pretty cool. I've thought about getting them but I'm on the fence.

I just print them out myself, and they look really nice. I found some lovely cardstock that kind of looks like a paper bag, if you get what I'm saying, just like a natural brown. I printed them with our logo and left a space to handwrite the item name and price on them. I always thought handwritten stuff was a nice touch. Then I punch a hole at the top of each tag and attach it to the item with black embroidery floss and a gold safety pin. They look classy, and they don't cost me much.

Here's what I print on them:

when i opened my shop i couldn't afford to have tags printed, so i bought some plain tags someone had cut with a tag punch and had www.prettyinink.biz make me a custom art stamp with my logo on it. the stamp was around $15 with shipping if i remember correctly for a stamp that is about 3/4" x 3/4". i later found the uchida clever lever GIGA punch at michael's crafts for about $18 that cuts out tags the perfect size to stamp my design on. you can buy packs of cardstock for about $3 in any color you like and ink pads are anywhere from $2 - $7. it's a little bit more work than having someone do it for you, but it's kind of fun i think...you can play around with different looks for your merchandise and it's and extremely affordable and convienient. :)

Thanks for the info. I think this time around I'm gonna have a fellow DIYer print them out as she's an expert. I am gonna play around with some old gift tags I have sitting in a shoebox somewhere. :)

I have these little tags I make...they are made to match your banner or logo or whatever you would like to match. I have a couple of regulars who buy them for their jewlery and other items.

I designed my own.
First I made an original piece of artwork - in the similar style to my actual cards I make.
Then I scanned it and resized it for various packaging purposes.
Then I printed it myself.... cut them and voila~
I also had some business cards printed from the same design, and made my banner for my etsy and my blogs to all blend in together :)
