2racingboys, Here is what I used just a little while ago to put holes in about 100 plastic plant tags. The holes have a nice weld around the edges that makes for strong edges. I have used drills a lot in the past and on occasions tears would form on the edges of the holes.

You can use a hot nail held with a pair of pliers and heated with a butane torch or what I used this morning was a tiny hobby electronics soldiering iron. They cost several dollars and you can pick one up at Walmart, Lowe's, Home Depot, or ACE hdwe.

I plan to write on the tags with a #2 pencil and just stick a tag in each 4" pot when I transplant the peat pellets. Then when I transplant from the 4" pot to the garden I will attach a tag to each plant. With 19 different tomatoes and 4 or 5 of each it will be a choir to keep all the varieties identified correctly.

ps....don't burn holes in the kitchen. The fumes of burning plastic is strong.
