Trade cards, Cigarette cards, Labels, Coins etc.

[Geoffrey Quadland]

I really like the Metaltype publication, and think that it fills a niche that needs to be filled. I have one small suggestion.

In the USA and Canada, at least, professional printers do not like or use the term "stickers." Their term for them is "labels." For instance, their trade association is TLMI, the Tag and Label Manufacturers' Institute. When they hear the term "sticker," they cringe.

Because of this, you might want to consider renaming the subject of this column "Trade cards, Cigarette cards, Labels, etc."

Best regards, Geoff

Thanks Geoff, I am often surprised by how our usage of the same language varies.

I have made some changes and further posts on this thread should ditch the word stickers in favour of labels.

That's great, Dave. Thanks for being receptive to that suggestion.

Regards, Geoff
