Full Version: Discount Labels

Cody - we have used Discount for our customers orders and for ourselves the last 7 years - all I can add is that they have been excellent to work with. All of our products leave with a Discount label on them or the gift box some where.

We get 2 or 3 different styles of labels to use on various products from them - they are very easy to get reorders from and extremely fast (only a couple days). Good company that I highly recommend.

We do use Stouse for some customer orders - their selection of labels is larger - they have items that Discount is not able to produce. We have not had any bad experience from them but they may not be as friendly as Discount.


As Chuck would say - that's my .02 want change?

I checked out Discount's site. I'm a little confused, though (doesn't take much these days :S ). Are these labels that you purchase from Discount for your own use, or are you reselling them to your customers? From what I understood after reading the site, Discount's intention is the latter. Do they frown on you using them for your own business? I'm asking because I know my custom cast pin supplier doesn't like his resellers using his pins/cast items for their own use. Maybe Discount isn't as picky about these things...

Joe,

I have only used Stouse and Gill-line for labels. I have the catalog from Discount Labels, but haven't found the need to use them yet.

I would agree that Stouse doesn't emit warm fuzzies with every call, but they've always done a nice job on my orders.

Gill-line is a different story. They are awesome in every way. After all, they've been around since their recently deceased founder invented the bumper sticker. The company is still family-owned.

If you ever need political signage of any kind, Gill-line is the one!

We purchase labels for our own use on awards, trophies, signs and other products we sell - and we also purchase labels that are resold to our customers - we do the layout and proof of the label for the customer - place the orders and contact the customer when the labels are delivered to us.
I am sure Discount is happy that I am using there product as well as selling it - why wouldn't they? They collect the same profit from me if I use it or if I resell it. :-)

I am confused as to why a custom cast pin supplier would not want you to use his product for yourself but only to sell it for him!! What am I missing here? Isn't like a car company telling it's dealer to sell the cars but go somewhere else and buy there own personal car. 8-O


Happy New Year

David - I am passing your recommendation along to the catalog queen. :-)
I think she has used them before but having a two thumbs up from you will make her review them again.

Thanks & Happy New Year

Joe, it is my experience that they have no problem with us using thier products as long as we also resell them to our customers.

What they want to avoid is everyone getting in for one self-promtion order and NOT even try to sell to others... In other words, signing up as a dealer just to get the discount for ourselves.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU, TONI AND THE REST OF THE CLAN! :-)

Chuck - Do you have Discount's phone number handy? Their website isn't coming up (even went through a Yahoo search to make sure I had the right address).

Chuck,

You are so reserved & shy. I can only imagine the teachers clicking their heels together at the end of each school year. No doubt in regret that you were going to the next grade level. :>

Beyone reading about it....you should check out the free software...Seeing mit work is much easier to understand that looking at the main description page.

They have free tutorials on their software that you can see via the web on a daily basis. This would be a great introduction for anyone.
