Dr. Zaius Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 I'm looking for Word or Excel files that simulate bug dog tags. I have several micro-bugs, and I want to launch them with flexible laminated paper tags. I have seen several bugs with such tags, is anyone willing to share their technology?

+brad.32 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Joani makes replacement silver-colored tags (with instruction tags) for the bugs she resurrects. I don't know her handle on here, try contacting Marky. Quote Link to comment
+Markwell Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Milo the Microcacher had a pretty simplistic tag. I'm a travel bug. Help me move from cache to cache by logging my story on the website: www.geocaching.com/track. My secret number is XXXXXX Still didn't stop him from only travelling 69 miles before getting lost. Sometimes the bigger bugs last longer. Quote Link to comment
+Gargoyle Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I make laminated labels in adobe photoshop. The tags tend to be 2 inch square or less. I have the laminater at work. The idea is pretty simple... I find a bug.... if it doesn;t have a label then I will make one from the goal section on the bug page. I will attach the tag to the bug and take 2 digital photos and send them to the owner asking permission to add the tag. One picture shows the bug and the tag together and the second photo show just the tag and what is one the tag. This way the owner can see what you have put on the tag and what it looks like on the bug. Most goals need to have the wording changed a little because it would make more sense when it physically on a bug. Most of the people I have asked have not had a problem with the tags... Some are very thankful for the help. But dont assume that everyone wants you to tag the bugs. If you are going to tag other people's bugs PLEASE PLEASE get permission before you stick the tagged bug in a cache. Quote Link to comment
+SpongeRob Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I thought of a good idea recently and placed in in a FAQ located here Use "Shrinky Dinks". Make small durable tags! Little varnish on them and they are now waterproof too! Quote Link to comment
