Vic Power of VP Coins holders up his coins in SAFLIPs with inserts on the other side.  He's printed on both sides of the inserts, one side with all the descriptive information, the other with a stocking barcode.  Very neatly done and a LOT of work.

We had some custom blank labels for a DYMO printer designed, and have been using them for a few months now. These labels fit onto the back window of the saflip, and sit behind the coin when the saflip is folded over.

This has saved us a huge amount of time and looks better than the hand written descriptions we used to have on the white cards we inserted into the back windows before using these.

The printing technology means that the ink is burned onto the label paper, that said you wouldn't want any coin to come into contact with the label just in case. As enworb has said, once folded the chances of something serious like that happening are remote.

Hi,

I have made an office template if anyone is interested. The dimensions are 4.8cm x 4.8cm to allow it to fit.

You can type whatever you like just by clicking on whatever box you wish.

If you are interested let me know and I will post up the .doc file.

Just remember to use archiving paper for printing, you can get this at officeworks (make sure it is acid free) for $10 for 50 sheets.



I have an idea on how to keep coins where they belong in saflips but I am awaiting my ebay purchase and then subsequent purchase of saflips. I am also working out a way to cut the middle out of these squares so I can see both sides of the coin.

If you want any info please ask!

Thanks for a great product in saflips.

I have been putting the thinking cap on with these flips as well.
I hate that the coin moves in them and you can't write on them.
My solution is buy some staple type 2x2's (cheap as chips) cut them into 2 separate parts.
Then use these to centralise the coin and write /type information on them.
This way you can see both sides of the coin, the information can be on both sides as well and aesthetically they will be more pleasing,
With this method you can even cut the saflips into 2 and double the value of your purchase.
I am waiting on some staple type 2x2’s to arrive plus a heat sealer and I will give this a go.

I'd be careful using a heat sealer as you wouldn't want to melt anything..maybe only a 6 pack before ya start mate :drinks:
