But how do you make your own tags?

Not screen printing , but like the ones he was cutting

[tshirtforums]

@Swaggtasticc01 you order woven tags like that from a woven label supplier. There are lots listed on our T-Shirt Forums site in our Relabeling section.

@Shecki603 and also what Salsuero said . .

@Shecki603 I'm not sure but I think you are asking about covering the other tag logos? And if that's what you're asking, he uses paper to cover them because if oyu used tape, he runs the risk of the tape pulling off some of the emulsion in his logo. With paper, there is nothing that might ruin the image on the screen. Hope this helps?

If you cover up the stencil area with tape, peeling it off becomes more of a pain after having spread plastisol for the label right next to it. Also, tape can leave some residue (like lint) as well as adhesive inside the mesh that you'd have to try to get off (screen opener, etc.) -- which is just an extra step you can avoid by covering them up with a non-adhesive solution like the cardboard pieces he used. I would have simply used a couple cardboard ink scrapers, but it's the same result.
