tagging thingy

[crisgal]

does anyone know where I could buy one of those gadgets that puts plastic through labels on clothes? Sorry - I've no idea what they're called!

If you know a shop where they put those tags on themselves, ask to have a look at the "tagging machine".  It may have a manufacturer's label (so may a box of spare labels).

You could use a Buttoneer to do it

Back in the days when I worked in retail we called it a kimble gun and the plastic tags were kimble bullets. I know a company called Avery make them, they call it, simply, a tagger, but they only sell directly to traders. A local stationers should be able to get one in for you but they might have to order it in especially, as these can sometimes be difficult to buy off the shelf. If you can let me know what area you're in I might even be able to give you some telephone numbers to contact.
