    earring card dilemma 

    I have for years used earring 3x4 cards  and stuck hangers or fish
    hook style hangers on the back of the card (peal& sticks)for
    displaying earrings..  I like the big 3x4 look in displaying  our
    earrings, but  recently have not been happy with the quality of the
    card stock.. In an attempt to upgrade I have been searching
    (endlessly) for a big heavy  earring card I have seen in the past
    that is commercially made.. but don't know who or where to buy
    them.. I know they are not cheap but cheap isn't everything..  I
    like the big , Heavy ,either laminated or ridged plastic style card
    floxed ,textured or not but all I can find in my search are.. these
    2x2 black or clear etc cards.. not what I want! 

    Can someone out there that has a really heavy , thick , laminated or
    plastic 3x3 or 3x4 earring display card refer me to a source to buy
    them wholesale by the 100's ???? I want to print or hot stamp them
    with a logo and "Handmade" aswell... and if they are available in
    colors even better..I am looking for a card that is "really
    rugged".. won't curl, takes alot of handing..3x3 or 3x4..  laminated
    type surface to keep clean... with hanger "?"style back. I have all
    but give up on looking on the Internet..  I know they make them .. I
    have seen them .....About the only way I am going to solve this
    problem is from someone else's experience ..so I thought.. What
    better place to get advise than from other jewelry artists ... I
    like my earrings to be first rate and don't want a second rate card
    to hang them on.. I feel if you are going to invest the time to make
    quality you need to display them equally.. I am open to other
    suggestions. Most printers I have talked to don't supply a heavy
    enough card stock or one that won't curl with heat and moisture, or
    have the fish hook or hanger style card on  the back...  Other
    problems I have encountered Bending thick card stock... Currently am
    using a painted louvre door to hang cards on.. Thought if I double
    the lenght of the card and folded them over and pushed thru the
    slot. But only printer I could find would only print on paper that
    was to thin and they said they can't bend thick card stock..Oh
    well........ If you can help me with this dilemma.. Your help would
    be appreciated.. Email me with a subject line of " Earring card
    Solution ".(so is don't end up in the spam box)
