I assume you are referring to power rating labels. As you know, these must meet durability requirements, i.e. be hard to remove, and printed in manner that makes the required information "durable".
We typically use UL approved stock labels, with some of the contents pre- printed by an approved process. The remaining information is printed on the manufacturing line using our laserprinters. The media and printing have been approved to meet the durability requirements. For small numbers of labels, I suggest using approved stock, a PC with graphics software, and a laser printer. You should be able to find a combination of stock and laser printer that can be approved to meet the necessary requirements.

Obviously if you need hundreds or thousands of labels there are manufacturers ready to provide them. What about these low quantities? Does anyone have a recommendation. Perhaps a label with a clear adhesive overlay, or something that can be used in a Lazer printer? What about special typewriter inks. It seems to me that with our present technology, we would have capabilities beyond typing these labels. All comments are greatly appreciated.
