<div class="moz-cite-prefix">P-Touch type labels are not what Ron is
looking for. I think he wants something like this picture:</div>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Normally you would use rub-on
dry-transfer lettering like these:</div>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">but then you have to painstakingly line
up each letter, and then you have to apply some clearcoat paint to
keep them on the enclosure.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">If you print on decal paper, you have
to use a solvent after applying the decal on the enclosure to
conform it to the surface and hide away the clear decal layer, and
then clearcoat on top of that:</div>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Your best bet is to use a vinyl cutter
(Cricut, Silhouette, or the big one at SplatSpace) and cut the
lettering out on vinyl paper, then use a backing paper over the
freshly cut letters to keep them in line and painstakingly peel
away the discard material with a tweezers from the sticky side
while trying to keep each letter from lifting off the backing
material. When you place and burnish the result on the enclosure,
you have to slowly peel the backing material away while keeping
each letter sticking to the surface -- hard to do with such small
letters and not end up distorting some of the letters. And you
still what to clearcoat over it so the the vinyl's adhesive
doesn't dry out over time and a few of the letters fall off.</div>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Another option is to get a stamping kit
from Michaels or Hobby Lobby where you can insert the individual
rubber letters into the stamp to say any word you want -- kind of
like an old printing press -- and dip into a thinned white paint
and stamp it onto your enclosure.</div>
