+CachinSpree Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I am new to the sport and would like to put a few caches together. I have been looking for stickers to put in or on the container, but all that I can find is singles. Is there somewhere that I can purchase a roll of stickers or are they only sold individually? Thanks - 69rrvert Quote Link to comment

the3gmen Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 You can find them here on Groundspeak The only problem there is if I want to order 6 of the big ones @ $1.99 each the subtotal is $11.94 and the shipping cost is $10.37. Seems a little high for a package that can be put in a priority mail envelope from the post office for $4 which includes a tracking number. Quote Link to comment
+GrnXnham Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I don't want to pay that much for the stickers either, so I just take a black marker and write "geocaching.com" on the container. A lot of other people do the same. Quote Link to comment

+BCandMsKitty Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) I've been printing my own cache document and putting them on the inside of the lid for ammo boxes, and all the different sized lock & locks. This even works for peanut butter jar sized caches. You can get various documents from here and alter them for size, etc. You can even add your own contact info if you want. Print it out and laminate to the inside of the lid with packing tape. Laminating on the inside means the sticker will last as long as the container. I have all the different sizes I need. I then also write on the outside with marker. If you want, send me a PM and I can forward the forms I have for the sizes mentioned above. I can even put your contact info on them if you want. (like your caching name and email) Edited December 1, 2008 by BC & MsKitty Quote Link to comment

I like the official stickers. If a muggle finds it I feel the ‘Official’ sticker makes it look like a real game piece opposed to something the neighborhood kids were playing around with. Plus it shows the owner cares enough about his cache to spend a buck or two. Chances are if there is a real sticker, the container is also a nice container Quote Link to comment
+trainlove Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 How about printing something like http://geocacher-u.com/content/blogcategory/31/56/ on construction paper. Laminating it and glueing it onto your container? P.S. If you just use a pen/sharpie as others suggest, then I suggest you put a layer of shelac over it. The weather, and handling makes simple things rub off over time. Quote Link to comment

Thanks - 69rrvert Welcome to Geoecaching!!!!! If you access to a computer with PowerPoint, Publisher, or Excel, and a color printer, you can make your own! The finished tag can be laminated at a Kinko's or other business printing center. Cache Safe!!!! Grigorii Rasputini http://grigoriirasputin.wordpress.com http://www.glass-cockpit.org.

+Kaboomcult Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 10 bucks to ship stickers is a bit on the steep side... I have seen a lot of caches that used stencils to mark the side... looks like military issue too... Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Go to cafepress.com and search on geocaching. You'll find numerous stickers of various designs, sizes and prices Quote Link to comment
