Branding and retail sales have been a big growth area for us this year. We had an Oki laser printer- waterproof ink- and can print labels for 6 – 7 pence – 10-15 candian cents ?? But, as you say start small ….. thanks
hi Curtis. little out of context to this video here, but have you used overhead sprinklers (the movable, place and run ones) inside low tunnels, instead of drip lines? drip seems to be a hassel. thanks.
About how much have you spent on growing your business? Like the equipment and building green houses and the fridges just everything that has anything to do with your business!
I've been trying to save up money this past year because I want to do this but I just don't know how much I should be saving. Please answer! A rough estimate would be great!
For small labels another option is address labels. They get down to a few cents each and have adhesive backing.
One thing I've considered is doing are cartoon character stickers as labels and putting them under the plastic. I'm an artist as well which makes it easier. The idea is to get kids excited about fruits and vegetables through the label/stickers. Kids love stickers and branding to cartoon characters can be a strong selling point. Gotta think outside the box.
Curtis, I've got an awesome label producer that I use out of China where I get labels anywhere from $.04 – $.10 each. They are great quality so let me know if you want the contact info, I'm happy to send an intro email for you. Ps – love your channel, you've really inspired me to start gardening again. Way to much trial and error lately – but I'm looking to grow it much bigger so I can start a program to help end hunger in my area. So thanks for the inspiration!
If you absolutely want a colored label. You can get 1,000 custom stickers 13 cents a piece. Just understand you would need another set of 1,000 for each product you have. So you had better be in love with whatever label you decide on. The price jumps to 28 cents each for 500.
Staples is selling the QL 700 Label printer for $49 instead of $99 – http://bit.ly/2jxBBRJ
We have this printer … it is very easy to use! Lots of options for label sizes.
you cant print in color… just use a bigger printer and buy larger paper and invest a little bit more in ink.
May I ask which Brother QL700 compatible label roll you use? Is the larger label a continuous roll or a specific size?
cheers i was wondering about that trick of yours..
no link fot thr printer?
Nothing wrong with B&W. Kidna Cut & Dry if you ask me.
The QL700 was upgraded to the QL800, same price (US$99.99) but it prints in two colors, black and red. Then, there's the new QL800W, faster, and wireless.
good info.
what information do you include on the label? weight? no price (since it could change or be determined by somebody else)?
I managed to get a hold of my Arizona State department of Agriculture to find out labelinig requirements within my State.
can i work with you like OJT
You made a video about labels and didn't show any labels…lol
omg, your GETTING ME DIZZY, ZOOMING IN AND OUT LOL
How do you get or make the bags for putting produce in
How big is the actual label you use?
Don’t you have any problems with humidity once in the cooler ? What is the reaction if some water drops on it ?
Hey! I'm out here in Colombia where it's harder to source anything so I want to make double sure. Do the labels you print hold well in refrigirators? with the added humidity. Thanks!
I'm just starting in Aust would love any info on labels etc as you didn't put that in where do the labels come from in the roll plz
Thank for this video curtis i have been looking up how to do this and this is definitly the best route
I got a Brother QL-820NWB. Very similar to the one showcased here. Thermal printer BUT it prints in black and red! A little color for a similar price goes a long way. If you can slog through the set up (YES! It's tricky and a pain!) it is a great printer.
Are your labels stick ons?
Or if you wanted color you could just buy every printing labels for laser & inkjet printers?!?
When happens when they get wet from condensation or refrigeration
