I used a Dymo labeler (printer type) not expensive  and they have a foil type tape that holds up well.

In the current (Nov) issue of Kitplanes Stein Bruch (of Stein Air) has a good article summarizing his experience with all the options. But you need a subscription:

I’m not building a pretty plane so I’m just using labels created on a Brother pTouch thermal label maker.

Wade,

 

 I used a Brother P-Touch label maker.  Since my panel is a medium gray, I used clear tape with white lettering.  For a lighter panel, I would have used clear tape with black lettering.  I can send photos if you want.

The pTouch labels hold up well too. I printed a black-on-white test label, stuck it to a piece of aluminum and nailed it to the south-facing wall of my house. After two Utah summers and winters at 7000 feet it looks unchanged.

Hi Wade,

I used transparent sheet material from Staples, printed in 

Ariel-Bold-Black on a laser printer. Cut them out and placed them. To do 

again, I'd think

about putting a blind transparent cover over the laser print. Otherwise 

I've been happy with the simple result where I've not had my fingers 

touching them.

I used the transparent sheet from staples also, printed with an inkjet printer. I then sprayed 2 coats of rattle can clear enamel over the print to provide durability. It has held up well for 3+ years.
