OK, many thanks everyone, you’ve all been a great help. No brackets and definitely no parentheses it is 😆
I started off this thread saying ‘I’m thinking of getting…’ Having just completed the artwork for 21 labels, a vague, indulgent whimsy has suddenly become a must-have purchase that I couldn’t possibly live without. Hmm, how did that happen?

The question is - how did you do that to me, Nollie? I am busily pondering font size. Lol
I think aluminium hanging tags for me, though.
I think my garden (1907) has been owned by a stream of keen gardeners. I regularly find metal tags from 1992 with legible writing. Someone was very keen on snowdrops. I am mystified by what they wrote with that could stay on so long (it's not embossed or with regular pen). It might be pencil - but would it really survive 30 years of rain etc? Intriguing.
Sorry about that @Fire! Aluminium will look good too. Pencil lasting 30 years? That would be something, but would never have been legible in the first place if I’d written them!

Pencil becomes permanent on aluminium as this site describes https://alitags.com/products-aluminium-tags-pencil.html. I bought some for my sister and she is dithering about which plants she will 'spend' permanent labels on. I considered the punch for myself but it would take an age. I like the letters in the box and the jig and think this sort of thing quite lovely. https://alitags.com/products-labelling-tools.html

Well, yes, I have that problem too.
