Namelabel printing service

[nomihoudai]

Hello fellow InsectNet users.

It is dark outside and winter in most parts of the world, the time to clean up our collections. Mounting, sorting, identifying, there is plenty of work for a collector in these times. It could be so relaxing when one not had to make these bloody namelabels for the drawers every time one got a new species for ones collection.



Have you ever ...

# ... looked at a site like www.butterfliesofamerica.com and just wished to have all these informations ready as labels?

# ... collected for decades, switched the style of the namelabel several times and wished you can get the same style on all of them but did not want to redo the whole work ?

# ... wished to include describors on your labels too but you did not because it was too much work for you ?

# ... written an excel file containing every species you have and wish to get labels out of that file ?




Well in that case this service may be for you. I offer here the service of making beautiful namelabels for your collection to put into your drawers using existing checklists on the internet !


Everything is fully editable :



1) Genus and taxon can get

#Every font-style from Microsoft Word
#Every font-size from 1pt to 72pt just like MS Word
#Bold or italic style
#Aligned in center, left or right

2) Describor line can get the same features too than the previous line but may become different from that line

3) The border can get any skin you are used to from MS Word, also custom skins allowed that are not found in Word



The size of the label can take any value in millimeters*millimeters or inch*inch

Depending on the source ( as stated above I will convert pages like butterfliesofamerica, mothphotographersgroup for you ) different styles are possible at the moment and I am working every day to get more styles:



The prices will be :

# 0.04€ (4 CENT) a label when you order under 500 pieces
# 0.03€ (3 CENT) a label when you order under 2000 pieces
# 0.02€ (2 CENT) a label when you order more than 2000 pieces

The labels will be printed on stronger, acid free paper with laserprinter and send to you by post. Shipping from Luxembourg ( Europe )

It's only winter in the northern amphitheatre but I live in the southern amphitheatre and it's the hottest part of our collecting season here now and in our own winter here I travel to Asisa to collect. I can never find any time to do this kind of labeling.

Hey Claude,

They DO look nice...but are the prices in the first post correct (4€ CENT per label for less than 500)

Is this 4€ per label? So would 10 labels cost 40€

Or am I reading this wrong?

Hello Simon, you did indeed read wrong, I did not know how to express the price better, the prices under 500 pieces are :

0,04 € or 4 CENT per piece

I could not just write cent only because this would also refer to $ Cent. I just edited my previous post to make it more clear.

The prices drop when getting more labels and I will also give discounts when someone wants whole bundls like " All Heterocera of Europe ".

My service here offers the possibility of having the labels of all specimen from a certain region ready, for example all butterflies of North America, you do not lose any time writting the label anymore, you just take the page I printed you and cut it out when you are in need of it. This has been pretty impossible, or only achievable with a lot of work in the past.

What I also want to clarify: This service mainly heads for the larger labels you put inside the drawer and a series of butterflies underneath, I was not speaking of the small labels you put under the datalabel onto the specimen ( altough this is also possible to be done, I have no restrictions in size ).


@lucanidae, I wrote most parts of the world, the landmasses are more distributed towards the north so the statement should hold...anyway

I can also print onto self-adhesive paper if you want to label your papered specimens ;D

Today I printed the Rhopalocera set of Europe for personal use, labels use MS Word pt 4 1/2 border and are 40 mm * 18 mm

Hi Claude,

Oops - my bad!!!

Thanks for clarifying the prices. They do look very nice indeed.

Have you had any interest?

Like everything that is new one must have patience until people approve of it, and this service is something new, the first of its kind.

For people that are not yet sure about purchasing, I can send files with 3*3 labels that you can print out at home and see immediately if it pleases you or not.

Today I added a new style to the ones above, I call it basic style as it just shows genus and taxon, the plus point of this is that it is compatible with any source, so I can print every lepidoptera name there is in the world and the few coleoptera lists I found using that style.
