If this is not an appropriate place for this topic, could an admin please move it.
Down in the On30 Line some of us have decided to start a virtual load interchange program.
To enter the program, you create a piece of artwork that can be downloaded and printed by anyone who wants it. The artwork represents a label for a product produced by an industry or shipper on your home layout (built or not yet completed)
The idea is that others download the artwork, print it at an appropriate size, and create a load, or a scenery crate/barrel/drum/box/sack,..
that they can use and display on on their own layout, so you can have or ship products that originate on other layouts. |

Andy.
I tried to print your artwork but when I shrunk it down enough to fit on the sacks, the lettering disappeared into the background. I think that some of the lettering needs to be bigger. |

You'ld have to be very careful where you went wearing that stuff during rutting season. |

I have no business to speak of that exports off line so I am making up a small family run business that will ship less than car load from the depot.
The product could be very useful to many here on the site from pictures I have seen. I use the stuff all the time and the barber needs to use thinning shears on me to thin my wilt tufts.
It is made from the hoof and urine of local Yukon Musk Ox and is shipped in barrels or small bottles. [:-bigeyes]
The stuff is expensive as you can figure it is hard to collect the liquid ingredient. 
Rumor is; after you apply the stuff it becomes much easier to hunt Musk OX.

ive seen good looking sacks make with tamyia sand bag (comes in a set with a brick wall and tank traps)
and i agree with mark, sand the back of paper and pva glue on, once thin, and damp with the glue paper will go around all kinds of shapes :) |

I'd probably use decals.
Sacks can be made from Sculpey. |

Thanks. Now all I need to find is some sacks. |

John, reduce it down and crop it to the white lines and the edge of the lettering and make it about 1/3 of the bage size then sand it a little to thin the paper then mount it on the sack with white glue. much like you would on a building.
