Hi Eugene Walter and all
I sell all my honey(1500-2000 lbs) from an honour table at the end of
my drive. I normally sell in 500 gm, 1kg and cut comb packages but
occasionally use other sizes if they become available on sale. I use
the address label section of MS Word and include honey type(summer
blossom, autumn blossom etc), size, year and contact information
including E-mail. Too many variables for preprinted labels
considering the size of my operation. Ink jet printers use inks
which run if they get wet( sudden summer storms do happen here). I
bought a HP laser printer(less than $100 in Canada) with Avery type
labels and haven't replaced the original cartridge in 4 years. I
agree with Eugene that simple labels are best. The extra details
about the honey that I include(summer, autumn etc) helps to sell more
honey as people can't believe that there can be more than one taste
to honey.
