Hi Ivan,

I don't actually know this "pressure sensitive pouch film" you mention (more 
please?), but my main problem has been finding a WHITE lettering for such 
labels since most printers use the white = absence of any color (i.e., let 
the paper show through). I will check on the site you mention to see however, 
thanks. One other suggestion: drill your holes before you apply your label. 
I've ruined a few good labels by drilling into panels which I'd already 
applied labels to -- the chips came up and got between the panel and the 
label.

These are laminating pouches similar to what you protect documents with; the 
type of thing that a lot of ID cards and backstage passes use.  Except in 
this case the back of it is self-adhesive.

You would print out your graphic with a black background and reverse 
lettering.  It will use a lot of toner or ink depending on your style 
printer, but can give satisfactory results.
