Anybody have some good techniques for labeling electrical panels? Stickers do not thrill me. Have some good ideas for some professional looking labels for two panels I am building?

Visit scrapbooking and art supply shops. They carry all sorts of lettering supplies.

You might also try this: 1) Using white spray paint, paint a strip of plexiglass. 2) Using the lettering mentioned in my earlier post, create whatever labels you want. 3) Using a contrasting color (black, red, dark blue, etc) spray over the panel and the letters. 4) Let everything dry well and then peel the letters off. You will have white letters on a contrasting panel.

I am in the same situation. I am going to have a custom plastic panel made. I plan on sending the panel to a company that does engraving.
