We just had to buy some more 1" x 2" lined, yellow key tags with a ring. The price went WAY up to 250 for $60.00. Anyone know of a less expensive source? Thanks

you mean the Lucky Line ones?

like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/121409661468

or the ones with the clear window like these: http://www.mrlock.com/lucky-line-key-ta ... 0-bx-16900


you can probably get the part numbers from the catalog and google for them to find deals on amazon, ebay, or some online reseller: http://www.luckyline.com/downloads/LLCa ... 2Press.pdf

I dont have an HL Flake account, but I'm sure they sell those, maybe someone here can check their prices.

No, none of those. I am talking about the cardboard tags with a wire ring. We call them give-aways. They used to cost about a dime each but are now up to a quarter each. Our old supplier went completely out of business and we have had to order from a locksmith supplier.

Ebay does have a few good offers. I may check those out tomorrow. Even if they are blank and have a 3/4 ring, they will meet the requirement.
