I have asked them whether one needs to order 50,000 of the same colour - awaiting their reply.

I have lots of friends who are looking for an alternative to the usual labels, and these seem ideal.

I would be happy to act as a post office if the answer is - order 10,000 of 5 different colours.

That's a lot of labels!  I assume the price quoted for 50,000 is £15.15 per 1000.

No, I don't think that, Diane.... price for 50thousand  (120mmx20mm )is £15.15 as I read it.

Can't be, Maggi, the price goes down as you get more.  If you only want 1000 it would be cheaper to buy 50000 and throw away the other 49000

Price is lower for larger quantitiy.... see this:  

Size                   1000    5000   10000    20000    50000
80 x 13mm - plain 14.15   11.50   10.85   9.65      9.15
100 x 16mm - plain 18.95   15.20   14.05  12.95    11.40
120 x 16mm - plain 21.20   19.85   18.05  16.60   14.65
120 x 20mm - plain 21.80   20.20   18.75  17.10    15.15

Yes,  but these prices can't be the total, it must be per thousand

Logic says you are right, but the site does not say per thousand 

Hopefully their reply to my email will clarify everything.

If I get 10000 of any colour they will go quickly as people are looking for this sort of label that is long lasting and will not crack into tiny pieces.  I like to write details on a white label and then use a coloured label to identify say Cyclamen, Frit, Crocus etc. or the watering requirement.

Diane, Art, I was going on the website, which does not state "per thousand"  but when I looked again I thought it was rather ambiguous..... thought best idea was to phone.... nice chap there tells me it IS per thousand! Rats!
 Shows how important it is to make one's listings clear, though!

There must be some Scottish blood in me - I thought it cheaper to email 

[Diane Clement]

Phew, I thought this was getting silly!

Just to confuse issues, I also use this company for labels
http://www.theessentialscompany.co.uk/Labels.html#Coloured%20Pot%20Labels

They do even M O R E colours.  They are not as tough as the Anglo scot ones and not so good for writing on, I just use them as genus markers, alongside the others.

Oh dear, the rot's set in - I've posted on the AGS for the first time.

Don't let it worry you, Anne, I've done it several times!! It's perfectly legal and you've asked a good question!!!
I do wonder how they'd view a thread announcing SRGC stuff, though , eh?!

Well, no, an Anglo Scot is about as rugged a hybrid as you can get, I reckon

Arthur, does Maggi's clarification of the price change your mind?

Not at all.  You only need to find 10 people who want some and that works out at 5000 labels each.

All my friends complain about the lack of good labels, and as I belong to 4 AGS groups, I do not think there would be a problem in finding buyers.
