I've used gummed back clear laminate from the office supply store on many
projects and just run them through a copier after making a master on my home
printer.
Commercial copiers have better fusing of the toner and the print holds up
better.
If your panels aren't too big you might find a label as large as 4x6
postcard size. I think those come two per sheet and I've seen several
popular colors.
