Cache Label

[rocketmann]

I've noticed that on many of the caches that I have found there is a green "official geocache" sticker. I think it has the Groundspeak logo on it and some other info like cache name, name of placer, ect. Anyone know where to get these things?

I've used those on a few caches but be aware that they are SHINY and don't lend themselves to hiding.

I make my own labels, camo-style.

 

I design them on my computer and print them out on regular white typing paper.

I make the paper camo'd by rubbing on a couple shades of forest green/brown dye ink pads (Ranger brand) from the craft store. After the paper dries, I laminate front and back of the label with Avery self-adhesive sheets to keep out moisture. To get rid of the shine of the laminate, I sand the front-showing label side, then apply a few brushed coats of matte varnish.

Finally, I attach the label to my container using camo tape.

 

They blend wonderfully with the camo tape, and still make the cache look "official" (I think!)

Wow... If I am ever in TN I'll have to check a few of your caches out... That's a lot of work! Any non-spoiler photos you can share?

It doesn't take long to make one. I've gotten the technique down pat for my art, so I just apply it in other parts of my life as applicable.

Here is a scan of the top of one of my cache containers, a 6x6 inch Lock-n-Lock box:

Hope you don't mind, but I borrowed your logo design.

You did a nice job. I have been trying too come up with some different ways to make my own. Some good ideas here, thanks.
