andyrosen Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Hey All: I’m looking for a quality Label vendor that specializes in static cling labels. I note that throughout your forums, you promote http://www.diamond-vending.com as being a good Label vendor and I’m sure that indeed are good to work with. However, as I peruse their variety, I note that its limited (example- they offer no Ike & Mike static clings) and they have no 25 cent static cling labels as well. Can you offer other vendors that specialize in static cling? Thanks a bunch folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bravo Duck Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I'm not real happy with the Uturn static cling labels- they're semi-transparent and the colors are very muted/dull. I think using laminated labels with scotch removable double sided tape is the better solution for me. Bright colors on the labels make them POP.

Jax Snacks Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Not to put a damper on things, but... I personally avoid static cling labels like the plague. The reason it that over time, as your machines sit in either a hot, humid or direct sunlight environment, the label will literally melt into the globe or canister and leave a very nasty impression. The marks are almost impossible to get out and I have thrown many canisters away since I want clean looking machines in my new accounts. I know this because I started with U-Turns years ago and bought many of their labels (and have since thrown them away). Even in nice air conditioned environments, I have seen them leave a residue mark. Some vendors like Just Born still offer free labels. But Mars and Hershey stopped offering me free labels years ago. So I just make them myself now. You can use a word processor like MS Word and create a 3 by 5 table and copy and past the image from a web site that sells candy into each cell. So a 5 by 3 table would yield 15 labels. Print them on a color printer (Kinkos will do it for 49 cents). Then laminate them - they will last a long, long time. I use a small sampling of Scotch Transparent tape if necessary. I find it to be pretty reliable and it rarely leaves a mark on the globe. Again, be careful with using too much tape as the tape's adhesive will melt into the globe over time. I have cleaned up many other vendor's used machines that I have bought from them and will never use stickers, excessive tape or static cling on a globe again - a real nightmare to clean up. Another option if you don't want to use the computer is to simply buy some candy from a drug store and use that label to copy on a color copier. Most new copiers have a "multiple image" feature and will create a nice 3 by 5 replication image for you to get 15 per page. Just my 2 cents. But you will save some money (do the math) and clean-up hassles later on by doing them yourself. Jax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay-Son Vending Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 When I am out on the road and I need a label...I take out my box cutter and cut up the bag that the candy comes in...There is usually one "smaller" size candy name on a bag either on the back or the bottom....A little tape and voila...a Professional lable direct from the manuafacturer...

swd1217777 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 If you call the 1-800 number listed on the outside of the candy bag they will send you the labels for free. I got 40 Mike and Ike and Hot Tamales static cling labels sent to me. Mars will send you the graphics so that you can make your own labels.
