A4 labels 25 in a pack
cut into 4 (postcard size) =100 labels
print out
stick on
then sticky back plastic over top.
bit of a polava but works well.

if you make the sticky back plastic 1 cm bigger than the label all round! tadaaaaaa, it'll stick on and be waterproof. i really do deserve a blue peter badge now. ;D

i checked them first, limited weather proof, not sure what that means but doesn't sound good. they'll be stored under the sink most likely so need to be totally waterproof.

might have a chat with mark at dp, see what he can do for us.
