How to make plant and seed tags

A 2" × 1" garden tag: the plant name and variety, a sown date that stamps itself, and a QR code to the care notes.

2" × 1" roll 5 steps about 6 minutes

Steps

  1. Start a 2" × 1" label

    New label → Roll / thermal → 2x1.

  2. Plant name large, variety underneath

    The name is what you read from the bench; the variety is what you check up close.

  3. Add a sown date that stamps itself

    A text item reading SOWN with Auto date field pressed. Weeks later that date is the only thing that tells you what is ahead of what.

  4. Add a QR to the care notes

    Watering, spacing, days to harvest — a QR code saves writing any of it on a two-inch label.

  5. Think about the weather

    Sun and water will lift an ordinary sticker in a season. Use weatherproof stock, or stick the label on something rigid and let the tag take the weather.
