It was mentioned among the myriad responses you got to this question but<br>
it's definitely worth trying the custom placards from <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__PVLabels.com&d=DwICAg&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=ECw7Qp6Yw25QG-4a93xiM1GhdSKgc6IiWO4v8gVWfGo&m=jteZdiNAyZGFCYa5RI9ODgKaf8xHesmNFKm9MFawJ6hA9Mp0bgXusMvqKAr_OIH6&s=Omx7b550n7R5hrWrqCAlzuuvqha8Uu3tz6dH4ecumQI&e=" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__PVLabels.com&d=DwICAg&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=ECw7Qp6Yw25QG-4a93xiM1GhdSKgc6IiWO4v8gVWfGo&m=jteZdiNAyZGFCYa5RI9ODgKaf8xHesmNFKm9MFawJ6hA9Mp0bgXusMvqKAr_OIH6&s=Omx7b550n7R5hrWrqCAlzuuvqha8Uu3tz6dH4ecumQI&e=</a>.<br>

You upload a simple graphic through their website and they'll ship them out<br>
within a day or two. We only use this service for when we need a directory<br>
placard (e.g. a site map) which are 4x6 or 5x7 and cost around $30 to $45<br>
per placard.<br>
<br>
For textual-only custom labels we own a Hellermann-Tyton thermal label<br>
printer that we bought six or seven years ago and has served us well.<br>
Those together with standard PV label stickers are all we need for the work<br>
we do.<br>
