Sample Label Kits (3 Viewers)

Hi Spencer,

Your sample set is on its way; I believe it was mailed the first week of January. Lettermail between the US and Canada typically takes about 6-8 business days in either direction, so it will likely arrive soon.

If it hasn't arrived by Jan 26 let me know and we'll get another one into the mail for you.

Thanks!

Hi Gear,
Are sample labels still available?

 

[Gear]

Yes, absolutely. Send me a PM or an email, and we'll get one out to you.

 

[orsonberger]

PM sent

 

[GryphChip]

Sent in a request for these myself. I always hear such good things i'm excited to get a chance to see them too. Looking forwards to seeing these and working with Gear very soon.

Just a heads up that Gear may be out of the office until next week.

Great person, forum member, and vendor, but if he doesn’t respond right away - that may be why.

 

[Gear]

thanks @rowlin! You are correct, I'm out of town but will get a sample set into the mail for @GryphChip once I'm back on Monday June 25.

What do you recommend as the best label to use with Paulson solids (THCs, MD-76 or -76a)?

(Eventually, I plan to use a laminated 7/8" label, myself. Probably matte.)

 

[Taghkanic]

Not textured?

That depends on the type of chip -- that is, whether it's an inlaid chip or a hotstamped one.

If you are labelling over an existing inlay without removing it, I recommend unlaminated labels.

If you are removing the existing inlays or milling the hotstamps, I recommend laminated labels, and the choice of laminate is largely personal preference.

I recommend against labelling directly over hotstamps. However, sometimes you can get acceptable results on used chips, i.e. when the hotstamps are somewhat worn. In that case I would again recommend unlaminated labels.

 

[Taghkanic]

Thanks. In my case, I would be milling hotstamps before labeling. But the full info is useful to have for the whole group.

 

[allforcharity]

Not textured?

Unsure. Will have to look over the samples again. Also haven't finalized my art.

Thanks a ton! No rush from my side here. Still deciding exactly what chip I want to stick them to as well.

 

[GryphChip]

Got my labels and have to say I like the look of them a great deal. I have much planning to do now.

Question for @Gear -- Sent a couple PMs over the last couple weeks to place an order, but haven't heard back. Wondering if I'm doing it wrong? Is there anything in particular I should be doing to place an order? Thanks much!

PS Tried to look thru threads for specific ordering instructions, but didn't see anything. Apologies if there's something obvious up there that addresses this already and I'm just missing it. (I'm told by my wife my "looking for things" skills are quite poor. )

 

[stevea]

That’s how I contacted him. He might just be busy. Maybe keep trying.

 

[pedrofisk]

I think he might even be on vacation. He's very reliable and I am sure will touch base.

 

[Gear]

Thanks guys -- and sorry about that, @slurpeee ! I'm behind on correspondence (again) but I'm getting caught up today.

Great thanks... apologies. Wasn’t intending to nag, just wanted to make sure Imwasn’t using a wrong channel

Thanks again all.

I am interested in samples but I'd like also to know about the website. Any information?

I think gear has just been too busy to get the website up and running. He’s on here often and will eventually reply to messages. Just gotta be patient.

 

[Nick84]

Well I'd like to have look on products, order sample and plan a design. I guess a website should be a good reference for that

 

[BGinGA]

Samples are described and can be ordered per the instructions found in the first post of this thread. There is also a 'testimonials' thread where many real-world examples of @Gear lanels can be viewed.

 

[Nick84]

Thank you for your reply,
What about design, are there any templates? Average cost?

 

[BGinGA]

You can supply designs (either yours, or professionally done), or @Gear can also do the design work in many cases. Contact him via PM for pricing.

Presumably this is the thread referenced, though there may be others:

Looking forward to my sample set of labels, I have a lot of ideas!

A bold move.

PayPal sent for a sample. Looking forward to seeing these. Planning on making a tourney set.
