Thx. Check your local trophy shop. For a small fee, I can carve it in cherry, walnut or mahogany if you give me the final size (preferably not too small). Quote

Good company. But, I just need a little 2" x 3/4" engraved label with a sticky back. Probably cost $3.00 from the right place. A place with "Aircraft" in their name will probably be 10 times that...

laytonl Posted March 13 Report Posted March 13 I use a local trophy store for labels. I send them a PDF of what I want and they print it on aluminum, cut to size. I believe I pay about $5.00 per label. Lee 1 Quote

Thickness 0.025" - 0.05". White letters on matte black finish. Quote

I’m redoing my panel right now and had him do all the switches. He is a great guy and does fantastic work! Priced very reasonable too. cheers, Dan 2 Quote
N201MKTurbo Posted March 13 Report Posted March 13 The place I used to work at had a control panel shop. They had an engraver that made those labels. They used it to label devices in the panels and to make the data plates for the panels. If I needed one for a work project or other project, I just asked the panel shop manager and they showed up at my desk in a few minutes. I think it was this one: https://www.visionengravers.com/applications/tags-badges.php Quote
Pinecone Posted March 13 Report Posted March 13 Brother P-Touch label maker. All sorts of sizes and color available. Quote
AJ88V Posted March 13 Report Posted March 13 Cheapest I found online was about $7.50 through Etsy. Think it was for a "switch" label used for electrical panels. EDIT: LaundryRoomShop - https://www.etsy.com/shop/LaundryRoomShop As @laytonl, a local trophy shop may be similar (or cheaper) and faster. Quote
0TreeLemur Posted March 14 Author Report Posted March 14 Matt at Engravers.net quoted me $10. Told him to proceed. It will meet or exceed my specs. 2 Quote
