Where do you buy your bird bands?

[birdy old man]

Hi, I have lots of birds in flight aviaries; mountain and button quail, finches, parakeets, canaries, and more. I have been buying the tiny split plastic, colored bird bands with year printed on them, but they come from Australia so the shipping is $20-40. Ouch!
Do any of you have a USA site that you can recommend? Or have you tried a 3-D printer to make some? (I have no idea how these are actually made)
Thanks for any comments!

I don't use bands but I have bought from this company before and I know they carry them. https://pinnonhatch.com/

Another good option is AliExpress (I use the app). Skip the middleman and get it straight from China since most US retailers source products from there anyway. All I looked at had free shipping, there are different materials to choose from as well as sizes. Shipping from China has gotten surprisingly fast, 2 weeks tops, usually less. Just be sure to check the sellers rating (aim for 97%+) and check their shipping score.
