[PADG:2223] RE: thermal pressure sensitive labels

["Baird, Brian J" <bbaird@xxxxxxxxx>]

I know that Vernon Library Supplies (http://www.vernlib.com) provides labels for us that meet the LC specs, and when you order them, Vernon customer services staff seem to actually know what you are talking about when you refer to the LC specs.  The labels they have provided for us through the years that supposedly meet the LC specs seem to be working very well, but check back at KU in 50 years to see if that is still the case.  :)

Subject:	[PADG:2222] thermal pressure sensitive labels

Does anyone have suggestions of where to find  pressure sensitive adhesive
labels for thermal transfer printers that adhere to LC's standards? We
currently purchase from Gaylord and are hoping to find an alternative.
Specifically does anyone have any experience with ID Labels, INC? Thanks in
advance for your input.
