transparency film with adhesive ?

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

We want to make durable equipment stickers/labels that will last a couple or
five years on typical baked enamel finishes on appliances, such as ovens or
freezer cabinets.

Does anyone supply/sell transparency film with adhesive, sometimes called
decals perhaps, for printing such in a laser printer? We would cut various
custom styles and labels from standard, say 8-1/2" x 11", stock.

Does such work OK? Surely somebody is doing this in-house! Thanks!

I've also used 100u white self adhesive film from Canson. I sprayed the
whole metal panel with clear acrylic after fitting the labels. The only
problem I've had is outdoors on a sign. Rain caused the acrylic to
delaminate from the panel around the edges. Kept dry they work well and look
great.
