Rounders Labels? (1 Viewer)

[Jake14mw]

I have a set of China clay greek key mold chips that I am trying to make my own labels for. People have warned me that these chips are brittle, and I might get annoyed with them shedding dust. So, I am looking to make simple/cheap labels for them. I don't want to spend a lot of time or money on them if the chips don't work out. I thought maybe the rounders labels as they are mostly white and don't use as much ink! Does anyone have any art for rounders labels that they can share? I'm open to other ideas for simple labels as well. Thanks!

I'm sure @Gear has art for Rounders labels, and he does excellent work. He currently has a bit of a waitlist right now though...

I'm sure he doesn't. Rounders-style labels, but not direct clones.

Yes, I'm sure he has Rounders like labels, and I already have another order in the queue for him, but these chips are worth 5 cents each, I can't see putting 30 cent labels on them!

I disagree...

Are they as nice as Paulson's or CPC? Of course not. Can I afford 5 sets of custom Paulson's or CPCs? No.

So I make due with cheap chips and quality Gear labels.

It's not so much that I paid 5 cents for them, the issue is that people are saying they are brittle and break, and I may wind up hating them. I am just trying to make some simple cheap labels for now. As I said, I have another order in with him for other chips, so I know his labels are great. Your chips look great by the way!

Can't disagree. There are chips that are inexpensive, and there are chips that are cheap.

Admittedly, I have no experience with the greek key China clays you have. I do know they have been around a long time. I also know from other china clays that if breaks in half, it can be glued and near impossible to find once returned to play. Note: the glue goes infer the label area. Any glue squeeze-out is never visible through a vinyl label.

I think you should change from a bear to a fish and call it Flounders. Or has that been done before?

I thought this one should be called Grounders.

Yeah... if it wasn't raining I'd take a picture of my lawn and it would be sadly, self explanatory.

FLOUNDERS

IMO just use a different bear and call it a day.

I could use this. It's a pic I took in Alaska.

The chips were sold to you for five cents. They're worth whatever you think they are, and they'll be worth a lot more to you with high-quality labels on them.

That said, I'm working on a similar project - labeling my spirit molds - and I get the reluctance to spend several times more on labels than you did on chips. I'm gonna start with self-designed, self-printed labels, but only for a small subset. After a while, I'll decide to either finish the set using the cheap option, or spring for a better design from a pro and better labels from Gear. No need to decide up front.

That's exactly what I plan on doing!

Very nice!! I’m looking to put together a custom set of royals as well.

That bear looks like he got his aces cracked by a villain that shouldn’t have been in the pot.
