If you really want to do it the old way why not get Kicad, gEDA,
Eagle, etc. and print out the symbols you need onto sticky back
label paper and trim to size. Use the printer driver or the package
to scale them. I haven't looked for labels lately, but last year I 
bought some blank, transparent address labels at WalMart.
