labels for soaps

Finally found a company who will probably be the ones I am going to get to do my labels. The guy who owns it seems very nice. Minimum order is only £50. Much better than the 1000 labels minimum order with the larger companies I have been talking to. They all cost loads. This sounds more affordable, the company is up the road so I will be able to actually pick up my labels or get them to deliver reasonably cheaply, and they are also a small company so more like me. They seems nicer to deal with and really shouldnt I be supporting local companies rather than giving my business to large corporate entities? There are too many large companies and not enough smaller entreprenours out there. Napoleon called us a nation of shop keepers. In recent years the likes of Tesco, Adsa etc have put most of the local corner shops out of business. Likewise the local soap makers ( Unilever, P&G, Boots) and the local printers are probably exactly the same. I think it is time to actively aim to buy locally. Then we support each other, our communities and we all work together to improve our different lives. Much better idea.
