Brother label makers (and maybe others) also make a white lettered label on
clear tape. This looks okay from a distance for panels, but won't fool
anyone up close.

These label makers have pretty much replaced the rub-on type that used to be
available in endless varieties 20 years ago. Let me tell you, it is a lot
quicker too. I still remember painstakingly lining up each individual
letter as I rubbed it onto the panel, then gave the panel several coats of
clear acrylic for durability.
