Some hardware stores carry a high strength double stick foam tape. I've
used a permanent outdoor rated type (3M?)
that won't come off. Just don't let the kids play with it.....
This looks like the stuff I used:

Hi Corey,
3M makes VHB (Very High Bond) "glue" used extensively in the
automotive industry to attach trim to body panels without fasteners.
If the surface is irregular you might want to use a double sided VHB
tape with a thin layer of foam between the two glue surfaces. I would
suggest contacting 3M customer service/tech support to make sure all
the requirements of your application are met by the multitude of 3M
product offerings.
Good luck,

Our local inspector is allowing sticker-type labels, so we have begun
printing our own with a laser printer. We found "weatherproof" sheets
available in a variety of size configurations:

After about six months of testing they seem to be adhering alright to
most surfaces, but we can't seem to get anything - including trophy
plaques - to stick to SMA inverter cabinets (or any surface with a
"grainy" texture) without using some sort of super glue. I'd be
interested to hear from anyone who's found a successful method or
product for this application.

If you're using a P touch there are labels with adhesives
available that are non-removable and stick on real well
The regular labels will unpeel at some point
The nonremovable ones don't unpeel their labels and hold their
colors very well especially inside a box
Opening a box and finding five labels laying on the bottom isn't
pleasant!
