HELP! Need suggestions....

Posted by Frances Fontaine on August 24, 2013 at 10:38am

I have the Florish mesh panels and was wondering how other artists put up their price information on these mesh panels.

I am a painter with some gallery wrapped canvases and some framed. I want a professional looking way to hang price tag/cards next to my paintings. Some have suggested putting stickers on the side of the painting or the frame, but I don't like the way that looks and have seen customers searching for the stickers.

Anyone have some good suggestions?

Thanks so much,

Frances

Thank you, Deborah! Those look great -- very professional, even if they are a bit pricy. I learn so much from this forum! :-)

Thanks so much, Jane. I am going to get some and try them!

I use white clips that have pins on the back that go through the mesh. Make sure they are all one color. I found white ones at Staples. On the carpeted panels we purchased little round Velcro and I put yhat on the back of each prove tag. It ten stays put

Yes, thanks so much, Deborah. I bought some of those to hang a tar paper painting in my booth. Didn't think about them for the price tags. Thanks so much!

I don't have one in front of me but I think about 1 inch by 1 inch or a little less, plus the stick pin part that hangs down (actually 2 pins). There are larger clips available but the ones I bought are the "standard" size. When I hang them just under the bottom of the frame, allowing the name badge to hang just below the frame bottom with the title and price info, it looks quite clean and nice. But if you need to hang the clip and tag next to the art, it looks fine on the wall - again very clean and professional.

How big are the individual clips, Deborah?

I bought them through Amazon - they are called Advantus White Standard Size Panel Wall Clips for Fabric Panels - came 20 to a pack for $9.14 plus shipping. A little pricy to buy a bunch but well worth solving the longstanding "how to hang price tags" problem. We are very happy with them. We also have a pro panel desk unit at the front of our booth and we clip our note cards in these clips and hang them on the front of that carpeted desk which puts our note cards front and center and seems to really make people stop and look (and buy!). That is why I know they work great on the carpeted panels too!
