    Default Help me figure out frugal ways to

    label my egg cartons. I want something eye catching, yet that goes well with my business cards and brochures. My cartons are plastic, ordered from eggcartons.com plastic, and in an unusual shape ( http://www.eggcartons.com/product-ex...Carton_PLEG_6M ) although my 12 pk containers are the regular plastic, 12 pk containers.

    my business cards are a muted brown color (like a brown eggshell color) and have an image, much like this one...[media]http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Egg_in_straw_nest.jpg[/media] and my brochures are muted natural colors with images of my chicks, eggs and chickens as well as brief overview of my pricing, availability, and some description of our vision for happy chickens = good eggs.

    I am pretty creative, but have hit a stumbling block. of course I'll need a regular, freerange egg nutrition label. But for the front, i'd like a color lable that went along with the theme of the business cards and brochure, so everythign sorta matches.

    I don't mind having to make the lables by hand. I just can't seem to come up with a idea how i wanna do it.

    Those are fancy egg cartons, very cool. The farmer we get eggs from just re-uses old grocery store cartons, it's kind of a "bring your own carton" thing.

    I thought about that too, but the possibility for cross contamination is high with that option, and I don't know that I could handle being on the short end of that liability.
