I'm looking for some etched labels for a dashboard. White etched letters on a black background

The sort I want are similar to the type used in 40's/50's areoplane panels, if you're a plane buff.

any ideas?

cheers

Chris

EDIT: like this

I just went down to the local trophy shop / engravers and he made me up what i wanted out of sandwiched plastic so you can pick your colour and the text colour. My fuse plate was about £4 IIRC.

Oh right, I didn't think of that!

did you have a choice of font and such?

cheers

Chris

I think he just had one font which is fairly plain.

Steve

~These are engraved. check local engraving companies the ones that do sports trophies and the like, they do these lables for industrial equipment.

Thanks chaps!

ask for traffolyte if you're ringing anywhere up.

that's the name of the sandwiched plastic.

googling it also brings up a fair few places online.

Or you could go for even more locost option- those old letter punchers with a sticky tape for labels (I think I have seen them used in racecars in '50-ies and '60-ies). That ought definitely add a bit of retro look.

DYMO is the thing you refer to.
