How can I make long-lasting labels?

I love makint these! http://www.hometalk.com/diy/decorate/packing-tape-image-transfer-and-diy-clear-labels-24557261?expand_all_questions=1 I've done it and they come out great- have fun!!

I labeled all of my husband's spice containers...I designed them at avery.com and had them print them - the labels they use are much better than the ones you can buy in the office supply stores!

Shoshana has the right idea!!

Cover them with clear packing & shipping tape.

I print on regular paper and then either cover the whole page with clear contact before I cut out the labels or cut them and then use the clear packing tape. I also make my own business cards using a color picture of my home and use packing tape to cover both sides. Works great!
