This is a key tag that can be printed in one color in minimum quantities of 250 pieces at a time. The small white box at the bottom of the text can be left blank and if a new AZer wanted to, he or she could write in their name with a sharpie marking pen.

The cost for personalizing and printing the item in one color is very close to $1.50 each plus shipping and tax if they are shipped to Louisiana. If they are shipped to another state I will pick up the shipping to ONE location and there won't be any tax. We would have to add in for a special mailing envelope, mailing labels, postage and someone's time to insert the appropriate name tag. They are light in weight so I doubt it would be more than one ounce. A basic design with contrasting lettering is attached.



The key tag is made of clear acrylic and has a paper insert that is printed FRONT AND BACK, so that no matter which way the tag is laying the screen name and AZ identifier will be facing the viewer. It can be printed in any ONE color at no extra charge. Each additional ink color is $.15 each. Also, anyone may offer up a design that could be used instead of this one. A consensus would approve the format/layout. I didn't want to get fancy, just the info in a bold manner without being too flashy. It will match a lot of the black cases you see around.

The only catch is distribution. That's a job all in itself and not one I am able or willing to take up. If enough people wanted to purchase this item, I would be happy to direct the procurement and shipping but someone else would have to volunteer to get the individual items shipped to the appropriate party with their respective ordered quantities.

Any thoughts? ARe there 250 people that would pay $2.25 each for these tags?

throw a differnet clip on there instead of the keyring (or with it), and make it a case tag.....NICE!!!! just a suggestion and a BUMP
 
Different design

I would not mind paying more for something of a different design. This one does not do it for me. Although it is functional. Now if you ask me for a new design I'll tell you I'm as creative as a rock. :eek: I do want my AZB name on it. JoeyA, thanks for this endeavor it's alot of work just to start something like this.

Do Nicknames count ?

I don't know about all this NAME stuff, but if I do get one, please put Danny Kuykendal on mine.... OK ? OK ?

It's just a paper insert. You could change it everytime you change avatars. Just think how you could mix and match, it would be exciting!!:eek: :eek::D :eek:

This is much better, than the one up top..
However i will probably buy one either way, just to support your efforts.. and the website
 
I like that design as well, but as Joey stated its a single color limit. The above design has 3. If anyone has ideas for a better SINGLE color design please post away.

You just could NOT have been this ornery for all your life. Somebody would have kilt you for sure! :cool:
 
I would want 6 or so. For differnet cue cases ,shirt fronts, etc. I would prefer something w/more color and maybe like the az logo that Blackjack suggested. Needs to have the individuals name on it in clear fairly large letters or else it's of limited value... imo.

I've been kilt plenty of times, but I brush it off... :)
I'm not ornery, I like Mr. Kuykendal and that's why I keep picking at him. I think he can take it and if not, he's too polite to raise hell... imo

Opinion

No, I wouldn't. With my credit type cards, and key ring, and cell phone in my right front pocket, it would be uncomfortable (too hard and big). And don't ask me to switch pockets because I keep only my money in the front left pocket for gambling, or quarters.

I don't want a key ring anyway. Why a key ring? I don't take my keys out while playing, and I am NOT going to lay them on a table while shooting.

Something attached to the case makes MUCH BETTER SENSE.

hey JoeyA - just curious if you ran this by the owner of the site? before you make a $$$$ off of his product.

that's nice but it will cost another $.45 each as it is printed in process color which is 4 colors (Cyan, Yellow, Magenta and Black).

It is much nicer and I thought about it but it pushes the price up.

I can have a process color foil key tag made for cheap money but the quality is not as nice as digital color printing, at least where the foil key tag is made..

Now I'm wondering how important it is to have the screen name. I can have some nice process color printing done WITHOUT the personalized screen name.

Is $2.70 getting a little overpriced for a key tag for your case? Or is the quality of the item more important? I can get engraving for $4-$6.00 each on nice looking highly finished metals.

I read your post Blackjack and responded before reading the posts after yours.

call it a key ring. Call it a case zipper pull. It doesn't really matter.

The "Tag" would be used on the cue cases only, I'm sure. It is only for identifying yourself to other AZers and possible for getting your stuff returned to you if you leave it behind.
