Collecting bread tags

Our local dog-friendly park provides doggy-do bags waterproof receptacles. This is a refreshing alternative to sharps containers... Each doggy-do bag contains a handy rectangle of cardboard for use as a scraper. Whether you want it or not, I will send you one. An unused one, be assured.

Woof!

THAT IS A GOOD LOOKIN BREAD TAG! I BEEN COLLECTING FOR A FEW YEARS, WELL.. NOT SO MUCH COLLECTING AS APPRECIATING SO I'VE REALLY ONLY BEEN COLLECTING FOR ABOUT 5 MONTHS. I'VE GOT A NICE LITTLE BAG GOING. WHEN I WAS ABOUT 13 I HAD THIS REALLY NICE YELLOW BREAD TAG I TOOK IT WITH ME EVERYWHERE I WENT, ONE TIME I SET IT DOWN ON THE TABLE NEXT TO THE SUGAR BOWL AND MY SISTER WAS TALKING TO MY MOM AND YOU HOW PEOPLE FIDGET WITH THINGS WHEN THEY TALK. WELL,.. IT TURNED OUT TO BE MY BREAD TAG. SHE WASN'T JUST DOODLING ON IT, SHE BROKE IT UP INTO LITTLE TINY PIECES. SHE THOUGHT IT WAS SILLY THAT I'D VALUE SOMETHING LIKE A BREAD TAG SO MUCH. SHE STILL HASN'T APOLIGIZED. I'LL TRY TO GET YOU MY PIC OF MY BREAD TAG DISPLAY UNIT THAT I MADE. I CLIP IT TO MY BREAST POCKET. HAPPY DAY! -HANET

I collect bread tags. It started kind of by accident and then turned into a bit of a joke. I've become more and more interested in them though. There are many different types and colours.

ive been collecting breadclips for almost a year now,..really dig on them and seem to always have at least one in my pocket at all times. not realizing it was such a widely collected item, i find myself mesmorized with the individuallity of each clip, the oldest one ive come across was from the sixties.

you are sooo nuts !!!!
Get a life !!!

Yep... I am hooked on these! I have been collecting now for about 6 years & have around 5000..... but what to do with them all! WOnderful hobby! We are not as crazy as others think!

I've been searching the web for the manufacturer of the tags and the stamping machines. I own a bakery in Colombia. Can you help me with this info?

I have been saving bread tags for at least ten years because I once heard if enough of them were collected someone could buy a wheelchair with them. But it was so long ago I've no idea who or what this was all about or if this was even true. Anyone know about this?

I am a bread clip collector from Australia I have sooooo... many! everyday my friends bring me bread clips, the teachers too. I found a really great green one today it was a shade I had never seen before. I love it so. And I know about that wheel chair thing, that same thing happened at my primary school in Coffs Harbour. I regret to say I didn't have the heart to let mine go. It is great that other out there appreciiate these historical and "O" so useful things. Bye Bye... Love Tori-Lou

Hi Tori-Lou in Australia! I am in Hobart & we should chat! Eeeek I cannot believe anothr collector in Australia..... I did a tally count on my collection the other day & i am at about 8922... so hopefully I will hit 10000 this year! I am trying to get some overseas ones too! I am also in written negotiation with the guiness book of records who used to have a record but they withdrew it... so i am at them to reopen it! Long story!

tori you can write me at purple_primadonna@hotmail.com Cheers... Susan:)

I've been collecting the clips from the bread & milk bags now for a few years. I prefer the dated ones. I'm just starting to employ friends & family so I can really get it going. What I'm trying to do is get a clip (tag) for every day of the year (a little project of mine). It sounds strange, but if I find one that I don't have, or the colour is rare, I am elated! It would be great to get some international ones if they are any different. Also, who manufactures these little guys?

ALl the tags are made by a company called Kwiklok which has companies worldwide (I havee written to them all).... I now have tags from Mexico, Canada, Japan, SDth Africa & more..... the ones that have bits of card with recipes etc are really interesting... specially the asian ones... which I cant understand but they look great... my collection is up to 10000 now!

And I have some gold ones! Eeekkkk very exciting!

I had no idea so many people were interested in collecting bread tags. Sheesh, an' I though my sister was silly at first.

Hey so good to hear that i'm not the only collector. How about this i'm a jeweller and I make silver and gold tags as a 'bread and butter' line to support myself, at the moment i'm working on an exhibition containing bread tags plastic and silver, and am looking for people that would like to be apart by handing over a small part of their collection...I will be making a large pile in the centre of the gallery and everyone who contributes gets their own represented in the gallery.I've been collecting for about four years now and would love to hear from anyone who wants to be apart of the exhibition.i'm in the process of getting a website i'll post it up here when its done!

Hi, fans of our closures.

We are the leading company in Europe. Producer of many different closures. Alo we produce the so called Schutlok.
It looks like Kwiklok.
If you are interested, please don't hesitate mailing me.

Hi, I have been saving bread tag clips cos I heard that there was a charity in Australia that could use them. Does anyone know who it is and where I can send them? Otherwise if there is anyone else who would like them, they are welcome to them, just email me.

Jen

Oops sorry, forgot to post my email address from the above post ..... I am in Western Australia and my email address is jenika_w@hotmail.com

I have finally found a use for my bread clip collection! I think I have been asked "what are you going to do with them all?" at least once for every one of my 4721 bread clips! And now I have finally found something. I'm getting married in June & have decided to use them as part of our bonboniures - the idea is that its a sacrifice. But I'm not sure if any of our guests will realise what a sacrifice it is!! Sigh! The most breadclips I've ever heard someone having is 1 000 000. It was a teacher at Oak Flats High School on the South Coast of NSW Australia, and he'd collected them just to show his students what a million of something looked like! Inspirational!!

We manufacture vastly improved "new-tech" bread bag closure that is user-friendly, unbreakable, and freezer-proof. It can be reused thousands of times... Bakers and Homemakers love it.

I have been a bread tag collector for 12 yrs. I would like some ideas of what I could do with them.

hi keen bread tag collectors!! im a primary school teacher and i was hoping there was something out there like "collect the bread tags and save the whales" ??? any ideas?

A local teacher has had the kids collecting bread tags to show them what a million looks like. She heard of a school that had them made into rulers, but wondered if there was anything else that could be done with them. (It's in Nova Scotia, Canada)

I'd been collecting bread tags without even really realising I was doing it for a few years and now I've got quite a little collection.
It's amazing that so many others are into it too! They are the most fascinating little items - the colours and dates and other mysterious numbers and the shape!... I really love everything about them.
I've heard the thing about the wheelchair thing too (I'm from Sydney) but I think it's a myth from the late 60s/early 70s.

I am so surprised at this site. i have collected tags for awhile now also and really like them. i have been thinking of making them into jewellery also, but unsure exactly what to do with them. they are so fascinating and im not too sure why.
glad to c others appreciate the non-appreciated

Hi there.

I am a teacher at Shailer Park Primary School, Shailer Park, Brisbane, Australia. My grade 6 class ius trying to collect 1, 000, 000 bread tags as part of a year long project. Most of our school is involved and the community so if anyone has any they would like to donate...please please please send them down to us in Australia!!

I have about 40 tags, I was keeping them because I heard that same wheelchair story. Does anyone want them? I'm from Montreal, Quebec. I can send them via mail to whoever is interested, if not I'm recycling them.

Hi i,m Scott i would LOVE some bread clips. I live in the UK and can't get hold of any. If you would be so kind to send me some i would gladly pay for the postage. My Address: 5 Franklin close hartburn Stockton on tees cleveland England TS185JW. Hope to here from you. Cheers Scott.

G'day I am from Sydney, Australia and I to collect these marvellous clips. I have a collection of around 5,000 all different colours and shapes with different types of print also. unfortunately i haven't been able to get my hands on any Gold ones and for that matter don't know if they exist?

Hi all, i'm from Sydney Australia and my Nana and her tennis group have started collecting bread clips to raise money for African charities. I am unsure as to the exact charity, but they have been told that for every bread clip, an African person can recycle them and receive 10 cents. Now for a starving African family, this is a lot of money. I just stumbled apon this website as I was trying to locate the name of the exact charity, and find more info as to how this charity is set up.

Keep collecting guys.

Hi my name is Tori and I have been collecting bread clips half my life. I started collecting bread clips when I was in primary school, I was nine or ten when my school started collecting bread clips for an organisation that would buy a boy a new wheelchair if the community could collect enough bread clips to match the weight of the wheel chair.

I was really good at collecting the bread clips and knew I had collected more than anyone eles in my class. When it was time to hand in the bread clips for the final count I couldn't bring myself to let go of them. I really loved them!

At our next school assembly the principle made the announcement that not enough bread clips had been collected, I felt horrible. I didn't say anything, and I am pretty sure my bread clips would not have made a difference. I didn't tell anyone and only secretly collected them after that.

When I got to highschool, I really got into them again. All my friends would collect them for me, some teachers and my favorite cafe. I am now 19 and still collecting more than ever. There is something about bread clips that make me really happy. I love finding them in weird places and random people giving them to me.

I posted on this sight over 2 years ago, I just wanted to share with all the bread clip collectors out there that I got a bread clip tattoo a couple of weeks ago. It is wonderful...

Hello Every One,

Hi all. Wow...Other bread tag collectors!! I have to admit that I'm a 69 year old Adelaide guy who collects bread tags. I don't remember what got me started but I have a few hundred at the moment. I'd be interested in chatting with other collectors in S.A. to swap notes etc.

By the way... you can email me on jord0034@internode.on.net

I must count mine again but I think about 600.

does anyone know any good craft sites where they use bread tags to make a christmas wreath?

which charity needs bread tags? please let me know as our Church has been collecting them.

hi there,

I have heard about Shailer Park state school collecting the tags. hope you are going well Gemma. i hear you are up to about 880,000, but need to reach the million by Friday. I know the local radio stations are behind you...so send tags asapso the school can reach it's goal. they can be sent to ABC Radio Brisbane p.o. Box 9994 Brisbane or left at any Abc Shop in Brisbane.

Jenny

hi im from the shailer park state school bread tag collection. We made over 1 million.

Well, I thought (as does my wife and kids) I was the only nut who collected bread clips! I currently have 10,255 and have been saving them since 1985. My closest friends do not know, oddly enough I really dont collect anything else. Keep collecting fellow freaks!!

I had no idea people seriously collected bread tags! I decided to start collecting them for an art project which had to be made with a collection. I don't have many yet, but have asked my friends and family to start collecting for me. If anybody has unwanted tags, I'd appreciate them for my project. I want to make a work in response to the issue Greenpeace have recently raised about the effect of small plastic items on marine life. See http://www.greenpeace.org/international/campaigns/oceans/pollution/trash-vortex

Good luck with your collections everyone! Its amazing how appealing they are. They are so familiar, - the shape of these little objects seems to be embedded in our psyche now!

Any tags would be welcome, - email me at gmkeen@optusnet.com.au. Thanks!!

hi bread tag collecters!!i thought i was the only one, but i guess i was wrong.I ahve been colecting for about a year now and have neally 300 bread tags!!!what do i do with them???????

When I was a kid I used to collect them to clip to the rim of my summer camp hat.

If any of you would like to donate your bread clips to help a friend of mine raise enough for a new wheelchair please email me at fancythat2003@hotmail.com.

actualy i was thinking i would make a pair of pants out of bread tags sewn on... kind of like fish scales, you know? but im not patient enough to collect them all so i was thinking id order them and i wanted lots of colors so any idea who i should try to order from?

I have been saving tags for about 10 months as I have always hated throwing them away, there were always a handful floating around my kitchen draw. I decided to make a bracelet by drilling a hole through each one and threading with stretch beading thread. I finally had enough to make one when a friend emptied her bread bin of about 6 months worth of tags (I could tell by the dates on the tags) Finished it last week and wondered if anyone else had made anything. Had to laugh when I found this site!

hi all, a collegue of ours at work has a mentally handicapped daughter aged 28. we heard that if you collect enough bread tags we can get her a well deserved wheelchair. if any1 can provide us with more info kindly mail me at faria@matasis.co.za.

we really would like info on the amount and who can we redeem the wheelchair from.

Thanks for all you guys help
faria

Other uses for bread tags. Aftrer blowing up a balloon wind the tail around a tag, works well also for multi plug power outlets, put a breadtag on each cord and put name of appliance on it in texta to see easily what appliance is on or off. ihave 204 tags.try muffins they have tags as well.

hey cant believe so many aussies r collectors, go austrlia, im from central coast n my sister n i collect them, i originally colleted them cause my friend showed me that if u snap one in half it works good to flick at people, can even hurt a bit, but after i got so many i just stopped snapping them n collected them in a cup then a container when it filled. my sister just started collecting because i did but soon overtook me because she woked in a canteen and was getting 200+ in one single night while i was relying on the house bread :-(

I have a large bag of bread tags. I would like to give them away for someone in need of a wheelchair. I don't know where to send them to, so if anyone could please post this information it would be very helpful.

I'm Beaver leader and I wanted my kids to start to collect bread tags.. was wondering if anyone know any charity that is collecting it?

Hey all you Tag collectors - I thought you might be interested now you can buy Jewellery in the shake of the Tags you love to collect :

Hi, had a look through all the posts but can't see any answer? Does anyone in Australia know if saving bread tags will really provide a wheelchair, or anything else for charity for that matter? If anyone has the answer, please let us know the details, ta!

It's true, you people need to get over it.

Collecting a few is okay but more that a hundred and you've got a few screws loose. At least find something to do with the damn things.

Glue them together to make some kind of LEGO city or something.

Just having bags and drawers of them is a sign of OCD.

If you don't know what that is Google it.

You are wondering what you'll do with them and why you can't stop collecting them. You're surprised to find other with the same problem, but soon you will begin tp obsess about something else...and something else.

My dad was evicted from his house because he rescued stray animals and any junk left outside for the trash truck by his neighbors.

Although the intent seemed normal at first it progressed into a virtual nightmare.

Try turning your focus on counting how many good things you did for your friends, family and neighbors and get out of the house!

There are lots of real people out there that need your help and could use your company.

Seems to me your obsession is just an excuse to hide away with some self-invented purpose to escape the world or a troubled past.

Next thing you know you'll be on your death bed wondering if you lived a fulfilled life. Well, no...but at least you have 6, 878 bread tabs (at last count). Errr..lemme see...my glasses....one, two....three...CROAK!

Maybe they can fill your casket with them all and some archaeologist in ten thousand years will proclaim you King of the Dumbasses.

Make a real mark and stop playing around with plastic tabs and get a life!

May sound mean, or even funny to some.

I am serious folks.

If I was your son or father, mother whatever I'd smack you up'side the head and say wake up Johnny go into the world and make something of yourself. Not for me, but for yourself.

So when you face that final curtain you can be certain you did all you could to make the world a better place for everyone and everything in it. Amem!

I have been keeping them for 16 years now and I have 3919 so far

Dr. Phill, You need to lighten up! What fantastic things are you doing for the betterment of mankind? Now an update on my collection, I now have 11,677!

Not specifically bread tags but a bread related collectable on ebay.

Being a environmentalists I reuse,recycle 99% of things and I saw last year at a craft stall something had made books marks with bread tags and ribbon and I would like to know if there is other craft ideas to use the tags for,as like I said I don't like to add to land fill.

Looking for ward to hearing from you!

P.S I live in NSW Australia

Is there anyone in South Africa that can tell me if the bread tags can be sold for wheelchairs? Who can I contact. We have a lot of these tags and do not know how to deal with this matter. Thank you. Wilma Olivier South Africa.

Hi Wilma,

I read an article in the Rekord newspaper a couple of weeks ago about swopping
bread tags for wheelchairs, and am actually surfing the net now to try and find out more about it for a friend of mine who is trying to arrange a wheelchair for a friend of hers.

If you've heard anything, please let me know via this site, likewise I will do the same. I'm in Pta, SA.

Regards,
Angel

I came across this site while surfing, the organisation is based in Zimbabwe so It might be useful for you who are from South Africa.

The donations go towards wheel chairs.

http://www.rachelswart.org.za/news-planet.asp

I'm suprised theres hardly any U.S people here, they all seem Canadian, South African, Kiwi and Aussies like me.

thats nice for a change

The best tags I've ever collected come from industrial sized bags of parisienne potatoes that we use where I work. They're about three inches long and 2.5 inches wide. They sometimes use tags this size to close big bags of beats and carrots etc.
Anyway, my collection isn't huge, but it is growing. I'm just not sure what to do with them.
Any suggestions?

Hey everyone...

About the breadtags being swopped for wheelchairs it just so happens that there is a drive going on at my school. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone who knows of a company who supplies breadtags would let me know about them. It would also be really really cool for anyone who has any extra breadtags to send them to Wynberg Girls High School before the 26th of March, it goes towards a really good cause. :)

The address is:
Aliwal Road
Wynberg

ps. may you please also specify that it is for a Kelly Phiri - 9R or email me at guavanades@gmail.com

Is there a collector/school in Nova Scotia, Canada? I have maybe a thousand - half a breadbag full! You can email me at mclc@ns.sympatico.ca

I also have more than a breadbag full of clips- from Welland, ON- I used to give them to a family member for a charity, but I don't have anywhere to send them anymore-anyone local who can use them?

Hello,

My name is Leigh Morgan, I'm in the process of collecting bread tags from around the world of different colours and dates for an art project I am planning. I would really appreciate any emails offering bread tags for purchase, or any information on companies or suppliers of bread tags from anywhere in the world.

Thank you so much.

Leigh Morgan

Where are you located? You just want an assortment from different locations?

Are there any gathering for Charity in Central West NSW who would like some bread tags. I have 35kg approx collected from various places and my on forwarding person has ceased to exist.

To all the people from south africa who wants to know more about the breadtags for wheelchairs project.

A lady started collecting breadtags - which is high density polystyrene and can be recycled. She sold these to recyclers and used the profit she made to buy wheelchairs for people who cannot afford them. The project is now run by many more people and is really starting to grow.

For more information on the BREADTAG FOR WHEELCHAIR PROJECT you can contact the Polystyrene Packaging Council on aletta@polystyrenepackaging.co.za or give them a call on 012 259 0054. Otherwise go check out the polystyrene packaging website for articles on breadtags for wheelchairs [www.polystyrenepackaging.co.za]

Hope this helps

Breadtags for wheel chairs

Did you know that the tags keeping your bread bags closed are made from high impact polystyrene? And the good news is that the collection thereof will give someone in need a wheelchair.

Numerous schools, churches and communities have started with their own Bread Tag Project. You can also get involved in this splendid project. All you need to do is collect bread tags from family, friends and neighbours and contact the PSPC to let them know that your project is underway. The amount of bread tags collected for a new wheelchair will be discussed and the PSPC will assist with the contacts to get a basic wheelchair to the value of R1 350.00 to you or any person / organisation of your choice.

What are you waiting for?
Run for the breadbin!

our museum has 1MM bread tags collected, that we are ready to dispose of. are there any Bread Tag projects ongoing in the US?

I'm from Malaysia, and I've been collecting bread tags for a long time. It's been growing and growing for years and I have lots of people coming up to me and saying "give it up" but I could never let them go. It's not because I'm interested in them or they're absolutely different (nearly each one) but it became a habit. Now If I see one lying around I just pick it and store it. My parents are really great, they always keep the tags for me.. I thought it was unusual to keep the tags but HEY it's a whole community of collectors :D

is there anyone in Mississauga, ON collecting bread tags as I have a bag collecting dust.

It is true that hoarding is a form of OCD. I am having some counselling at the moment so I can part with much stuff I have collected over my 57 years. I am very happy to part with something if it is for a good cause and that is how I found this website because I also was collecting bread tags for a charity. I think I have some answers now and also realise a lot of people collect them for other reasons. Enjoy the life you are living!

wow I am from Mississauga as well, wondering if there's any local organizers who would take those tags.

I have collected too many and the collection phase is over and they now collect dust. Is there anywhere I can send them to (charitable) in Australia?
ljdstyln@hotmail.com

someone told me years ago if you collect so many thousand bread clips that there was someone donating a wheelchair to a needy person! does anyone know of such an organization that does this as my uncle lost both legs from diabetes and need to get a electric wheelchair for him. thank you

Did you know that plastic bread ties are made of polystyrene that is not recycable in most cities because it is class 6? Also, the market for the crud matter has dropped to the point it is no longer of financial interest. Finally, do you know that polystyrene is not biodegradable? Please sprend the word, we need to end plastic tie wrap now.

i thunk you guys are all a bunch of sados and weridos, come on who on EARTH has collection of bread tags! for cryin out loud get a life!

Hi! It is so cool to see that there are so many collectors around the world. I'm in Canada. I just started collecting them a couple years ago because I liked their color and shape, and this might sound odd but I even felt sorry for the little objects because so many are thrown away. I like finding them unexpectedly in parks and parking lots and such.

Just like some others who have posted here I am an artist who has been inspired by them and have even made giant bread clips out of painted wood because I enjoy the form and color so much. They are about five feet tall. You can see them here if you'd like: http://www.uleth.ca/artgallery/wp-content/gallery/acse10artists/02bcrabtreeb.jpg

Hi there.

I too collected breadtags without really knowing why for years. They have become my emblem and even featured at my wedding.

For the last 6 years I've been making art with my collection and getting friends and family to save them for me. My latest project is a huge undertaking and I need THOUSANDS.

If anyone would like to donate their collection to me I would be deeply grateful. It's a way of ensuring that the tags get another life!

All the best,
Beth

My husband collects bread clips/tags & I don't think it's so bad!
They don't take up much space, & there are worse things he could be doing.

When it's time for the kids to bring in alot of 1 thing to school they always have something (e.g. on 100 day)

But Dad gets a little stressed out until they are brought back home!

Just a little OCD, and really we all are.

my dad collects bread clips . i think it's crazy !!! he's obsested with them!!!!!!!!

he has 13329!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, I thought I was the only one that collected these plastic bread clips. I like to call them plastic bread bag grabs. (because they "grab" the bread)

I am in dire need to find out where to get the darker blue, the lime green, the purple, the pink and the gray grabs. I only have a couple in my collection and I am in need of the less abundant colors.

If you know how I can get these please reply to this post.

Hi fellow bread tag collectors from Australia. I have been collecting them for about 18 years. I am moving interstate soon and think I am ready to part with 2 buckets of them for a charitable cause. Please email me if you are interested.

It is TRUE, bread bag tags do buy wheelchairs! It takes 1 million tags to buy one wheelchair! In South African you can mail them to P O Box 215 Noordhoek 7979 or contact me at zkvlei@mweb.co.za. There are organizations in Australia and other countries that do this as well
