Okay, my views on magnetic labels are pretty well the same as my views on
all pen friend labels.
Having used them since the penfriend first appeared, I am definitely of the
opinion that the small round labels, like the size of a 1p coin, are by far
the best. I do not see any merit in varying shapes as you can say anything
on any shape of label. Also, using the small ones you might use one at the
top left corner of the packet or tin which could tell you what the item is,
then at the top right corner you may want another one with a use by date.
then you still have two more corners for other labels with ingredients or
recipes or cooking details. that is probably overdoing it a little, but you
get my idea. One larger label just gives you less space for other labels
and you cannot use a large label on one of those bag clips because you only
have a small surface on which to stick. also, you get loads of little
labels on one page, and only half a dozen or so big ones. I have not had
difficulty in finding small labels with the penfriend, but it could be that
a few people find this a problem.
I have tried magnetic labels on tins but they often slide off, so we do need
to make sure that they attach firmly.
Those are my initial thoughts, but I may well come back with more.

Hello Everyone,
We are in the process of defining the spec for our PenFriend magnetic
labels. These are for use with tins obviously as well as things like
sticking on the fridge for messages or other appliances to remind you what
knobs to press.
So we are interested in your views as prospective customers.
You can send comments privately to me or Alison of course but we'd quite
like to see a debate develop where ideas and concerns can be bounced around
on the list.
We would be interested in basic things like size and shape. How big should
they ideally be and would there be any benefit in having a specific shape or
range of shapes or sizes? how many recordings you might want to put onto
one label and anything else you want to say about them.
This is not a scientific survey and we will be using other means to hear
from other potential customers but the folks on this list have always been
very creative with suggestions for the Penfriend and you don't just tell us
you are grateful for anything we offer you. Believe it or not we like
customers who challenge us because that's how things get improved.
Our supplier has told us we should get our first sew on label samples for
the laundry in a couple of weeks from China.We'll let you know when they get
here.
