The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

 Post subject: Nametape Question

I was wondering if anyone could help me with a couple of questions i had regarding the nametapes?

First off does anyone know what font is used on them or a good alternative?

Secondly what size webbing is used for the nametapes?

Thanks for the help.

I just thought i would ask as i am about to make my own set up. Last thing i want to do is get it completely wrong.

Ditto with http://www.camotech.com/Tapes.htm (although min order is now $10).

I placed an order about at the beginning of the month and got it delivered yesterday - very quick turn around for a small business. Very happy with em and will use again.

For Screen accuracy and a few $$ saved, use a fine point black sharpie! ;)

But for a crisp look I second camotech!

Super accurate is 1in British 58 webbing and a sharpie.


I set up 1800name tapes with the uscm font, and the correct size years ago.

There usual font size for name tapes is too large.
