Numbering Tips
Our flexible numbering templates make it possible for us to meet your special needs. If you can think of it, we can probably do it. For churches using digital number boards, you will be limited to the number of digits on the board, typically two, three, or four digits. Some churches use different number ranges for different rooms such as 100-199 for the one-year-olds, 200-299 for the two-year-olds and so on. It is common for churches with two or more different label designs to use different number ranges for each label design. Whatever number ranges you chose, try to keep your job simple. If a complicated numbering system requires an hour a week to keep straight, the benefits to the system may not be worth the extra effort. Please feel free to call us with questions about numbering imprints. Our friendly staff understands how our numbering system works and can help you work out the best system for your nursery.
2 and 3-Part Labels are sold in quantities of 800. The standard number range is 100-899. When considering custom number ranges, keep in mind that each quantity of 800 labels will include eight sets of labels numbered X00-X99. The "X" position can be any number, numbers, or letters you like. For example an order of 800 labels could include eight sets of labels numbered from 100-199 or it could included four sets of labels numbered from 100-199 and four sets of labels numbered from 200-299. An order of 1600 labels could be numbered from 100-1699. You can also choose to leave your labels un-numbered. Just type "None” in the Number Sequence box. If you want a space for pager numbers, type in "Pager #".
Here are some examples of numbering sequences for 2 and 3-Part Labels:
| Order of 800 Labels | Order of 1600 Labels | Order of 2400 Labels |
| 1 set #100-899 | 1 set #100-1699 | 1 set #100-2499 |
| 1 set #000-799 | 2 sets #100-899 | 3 sets #100-899 |
| 2 sets #000-399 | 4 sets #100-499 | 6 sets #100-499 |
| 4 sets #100-299 | 8 sets #600-899 | 12 sets #000-199 |
4-Part Labels are sold in quantities of 1000. The standard number range is 000-999. When considering custom number ranges, keep in mind that each quantity of 1000 labels will include ten sets of labels numbered X00-X99. The "X" position can be any number, numbers, or letters you like. For example an order of 1000 labels could included ten sets of labels numbered from 100-199 or it could included five sets of labels numbered from 100-199 and five sets of labels numbered from 200-299. An order of 2000 labels could be numbered from 0000-1999. You can also chose to leave your labels un-numbered. Just type "None" in the Number Sequence box. If you want a space for pager numbers, type in "Pager #".
Here are some examples of numbering sequences for 4-Part Labels:
| Order of 1000 Labels | Order of 2000 Labels | Order of 3000 Labels |

Special Numbering Requests: Once in a while, our customers have special needs not covered by our typical numbering sequences. A few churches have asked us to print the word "Infants" in front of the 100's and the word "Toddler" in front of the 200's. Some churches may want to use certain numbers for a nursery room every week such as the range of 200-235 for the two-year-olds. If you have special numbering needs, let us know by typing in your request in the "Changes" box and we'll do the best we can. Complicated numbering needs might lead to a change in the number of labels ordered and might result in a modest charge for the time required to set up the sequence. This charge is typically $10. We will call you if necessary.
