Hey, when sending pathtags through the mail to trade, how do you guys send them so they arrive safe yet not drive up the cost of postage? Small padded envelope?

I put in a small coin envelope, tape it to the inside of a greeting card (Who doesn't like a nice message with the tag) and mail it out with an extra stamp. I also put "hand stamp" on it. Never had a problem.

I keep the coin envelopes I get from those that mail tags to me, so I always have a supply. Very Happy

Thanks for the tips everyone. I also just ordered up a display board from http://geoclocks.com/ I cant wait to get started findin, trading and adding more tags to the collection.

What I do is buy a stack of 4"x6" cards, then cut in half so now you have 2. Tape the sides put tag in tape the top. Now I tape it into the envolope. this works really well. I'v sent tags to Scoutland, and Astralia, and no problems.

Agreed, I would love to get a nice collection of as many of my fellow WGA members tags as I can. I KNEW I shouldve ordered more than 50 for the initial batch. Sad

Curly Girls is a pretty sweet looking tag.

Thanks for all the nice compliments on our tag! Very Happy

I am so glad I took the push and finally did it - thanks Benny - I owe you one (the envelope is addressed and waiting).

My designers are first on the list for a Curly Girls tag (and Benny). By the sounds of it, I am happy I ordered 150. I will be happy to trade with those who would like one of their very own.

I did a trade via mail and sent it with regular postage and taped inside an index card in a regular envelope. No problems.

Does anyone use Pathtags as a reward item? I was thinking of ordering some and offering them to anyone who completes a certain cache series. The series published in February and currently only one (maybe two, I'd have to check) people have completed it.

I met an individual at Midwest GeoBash from Michigan who does just that. He has a challenge cache, something about lucky 7s, that he mails a pathtag to if the cacher completes his challenge. Even though I did not do his challenge, he was kind enough to give me a tag which was pretty cool.

I did mine this spring... even splurged for a custom code.

Great tag UWS. I ALMOST splurged for the custom code too, but opted for the upgrade on the backing that has the pirate saying "arrrrrh, you found me booty..."

Well you guys influenced me...again...(in good ways of course), I went ahead and ordered a 100 count refill on top of my starter set of 50 just to be safe for trading AND leaving in caches. Are they here yet??? I hate waiting......

Cant wait to see what you come up with for the second tag. I really want to trade with you for your first tag once ours come in, I love the spaceship guy one. (plus i like the story behind him)

Here is my 1st path tag I had made. Barry from Sweetlife made my tag come to life from a picture I sent him. My favourite team is the Toronto Mapleleafs. I consider Curtis Joseph the best goalie ever (plus his goalie mask is the coolest ever). I even change my avitar to his goalie mask for the hockey season. I have had lots of fun trading with people here in the states as well as other countries. I even traded with a Detroit Red Wing's fan lol. I am going to have to do a reorder of this design soon plus I have been thinking about what my 2nd tag will be.
