Introduction
: Aluminium Plant Tags
Annual labelling is the thing of the past with Alitags
Aluminium Plant Labels, 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. The Victorian label (A7) is a traditional shape for fruit trees,
roses and wall plants. A5 and A51 are ideal for shrubs and P8 is ideal for
small plants and alpine for examples.
|
Alitags
are available in 2 versions : Pencil Alitags and Professional Alitags, both
of which are made from special Aluminium but Professional Alitags are much
thicker than Pencil Alitags. Professional Alitags can not only be written
with pencil but can also be punched with Alitags Character punches.
Pencil Alitags can not be punched but can be written with pencil only.

PENCIL
ALITAGS
: All of our Aluminium Alitags Labels
can be labelled with an ordinary HB pencil or our Alitag Pencil.
The pencil will react with our
Alitags that are made from specially etched and anodised aluminium,
making the writing very permanent. Pencil has been reported to have last
over 30 years on etched and anodised aluminium. A rubber will remove the
pencil should you wish to reuse the labels, but the writing will not be
washed off by the rain. Pencil Alitags are
approximately 0.5 millimetre thick.

Alitags Pencil (picture above)
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 so the whole pencil is a solid pure graphite measuring 0.70 cm
thick and 17.50 cm long. |

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.

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 ensure straight lines and even spacing of characters. |
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.
Professional Alitags can also be written with Pencil. |
