Plant labels

Metal labels

We are often asked about good metal plant labels, which are difficult to find. We occasionally import a pallet full from the US (by sea freight), which allows us to keep the price very affordable. We have been selling them for years and use them ourselves! They last forever because they are reusable and also look great.

The Small and Medium Plate Labels are now available in a 'Heavy Duty version' with stainless steel wire and a thicker zinc plate. They are significantly stronger than before. Write on them with a regular HB pencil; the graphite reacts with the zinc, ensuring that the writing remains legible for years. They can be removed with steel wool or very fine sandpaper. The adhesive labels from the label printers also adhere very well to these plates.

Thin metal label

Thin metal label

Where a label does not need to be conspicuous, but must prove its worth. Very suitable for potted plants or low (rock) plants, but unsuitable for taller perennials in a border. Dimensions: 1.25 x 17.5 cm.
Hairpin label

Hairpin label

A beautiful label with writing that is always visible above the ground. The long pins ensure that the label remains firmly anchored in the ground. Writing plate dimensions: 2.25 x 8 cm. 30 cm high.
Small plate label with stem

Small plate label with stem

Heavy Duty version. The smallest version of this label with an attractive raised writing plate. Very useful in larger pots, herb gardens or rock plants, where the name needs to be clearly visible. Writing plate dimensions: 2.25 x 6.25 cm. 14 cm high.
Hat label with stem

Hat label with stem

The writing plate is slightly curved backwards, making it easy to read. The most attractive label we have, elegant and suitable for all kinds of purposes, both for open ground and pots. Writing plate dimensions: 2.25 x 6.25 cm. 26 cm high.
Medium plate label with stem

Medium plate label with stem

Heavy Duty version. You can slide the writing plate so that it is in exactly the right position (angle). The writing plate is slightly larger than that of the hat label, so there is more space to write. Writing plate dimensions: 3.1 x 8.75 cm. 29 cm high.
Large show label with stem

Large show label with stem

Very attractive label with extra long stem. Ideal for open gardens, collections or other places where the name of the plant needs to be immediately visible. Size of label: 3.1 x 8.75 cm. 52 cm high.

Plastic labels

For those who find metal labels too expensive, these white plastic labels are an excellent alternative. However, it is important to bear in mind that these labels are made of plastic, which ends up in the soil. Although they are of very good quality, over time these labels will become brittle and crumble under the influence of sunlight. All plastic labels are not very environmentally friendly, as the material is made of PVC.

Just to be clear: these are NOT the labels you buy at a garden centre. You know the ones: those hard, smooth labels that are almost impossible to write on and become brittle very quickly. Ours have a slightly rough surface and both pencil and marker pen work very well on them.
