I store my coins in archival safe flips I get at the Forum.  I like to make my own tags, and was buying them from the forum as well, but the Forum does not carry them anymore, and I understand from Joe, he is having a hard time sourcing them.

Does anyone know another source for flip tags so I can continue to print my own tags?  Any help is greatly appreciated.

You could try printing on thick paper (I think it's called stock paper) and cutting them out yourself.   Just use text boxes on a word document and customize them however you see fit.

That is what Forum does too.

Thanks for all of the input.  I will switch to card stock.  I have some for certain uses in my profession, and I've probably used 1/10th of a ream in the 12 years I've been at it.  Now, I just need to learn to cut strait!

Blimey Lucas, have you turned into Moses?  Parting a passage of water between 2 seas now.  Is there no end to your skills?  ;D
