REFLECTOR: Placards

[Douglas Holub]

It's supposed to rain today. I'll put some coated labels outside and see how they do.

  You need a weatherproof label.  Avery shows #15513 as weatherproof.  I have some special paper I had made up for my business.  I've used it on my plane and it works fine.  I can send you a sheet if you want.  It only works with laser.

  I was going to get some custom vinyl labels made for the 5 placards on my panel, but I knew it was going to cost me more than $100, and it would be a pain to make changes later if I needed to. So I Googled and found out that I could print black background and white text on Avery shiping labels using Word and a laser jet or ink jet printer. They came out very nice. My hangar mate thought they were done professionally. 

  The first time I did it the placards looked great for awhile, but then they started getting all smudgy.  So I looked for some sealer in a spray can, and found VitaClear Transfer Coat which is used for sealing decals on models, I think. Now no smudges. I've attached the Word document of my placards in case anyone wants to use them for a boilerplate for use on Avery 5263 2"x4" adhesive shipping labels.
