Labeling sticks required

Post by khabbab »

I am desperately looking for small plastic sticks which are used for labeling of pots. I do not need the large ones with cost around 20Rs. I am looking for those with small height and cost around 5-10 Rs. I need around 50 sticks. Any idea ?

If you want to be economical, is it possible for you to use relatively hard plastic drinking straws (the type that comes with Nestle or Frooto juices)to support to plastic covered paper labels ? Or if possible, what about cutting plastic strips from an old plastic folder?

Khabbab, icecream stick are available very cheaply from stationery stores. I got around 20 of 3" height for Rs. 20 and 20 of 5" height for Rs. 30 from Mahmood Drawing store, wahdat road, b/w naqsha stop and lahore broast. They have other variations as well. I used lead pencil to mark the names and it's still intact even after watering.
