Printer Paper for Sight tapes?

[nighthawkf-117]

Anyone have any suggestions for printer paper for making sight tapes? I’m using Precision Cut archery, they recommend sheet labels but curious if there is anything available on Amazon or locally that has worked well.

I use an avery Label with clear shipping tape over it, then trim to fit my sight bar.

I use weatherproof Avery mailing labels that are half a notebook sheet in size (8.5” x 5.5” I think). Once printed I cover the printed tape area with scotch tape then cut to size, install and wrap with another layer of scotch tape. Totally weatherproof, last forever and won’t come off easily.

The paper precision cut recommends is great. I recall getting the paper from some odd website, totally worth it

I just use regular paper, packing tape over it. Tape a little larger than the strip of paper so it seals it. Hasn't been an issue.

I'm using these vinyl sticker sheets in my all-in-one inkjet. I cut just a tiny bit narrower than a metal sight tape, stick to it. I've tested some with packing tape that wraps around but doesn't overlap in the back for extra protection and some without. Doesn't affect staying power either way thus far.

There’s a diy thread on turret stickers too

Thread 'Turret stickers'

I saw some turret stickers on a scope and thought they might be cool so I bought a set for $8. I didn’t like them as much as I thought I would because they were hard to get straight, and took up too much room while covering up the scope markings. I tried my homemade version and put a strip of clear gorilla tape over the painters tape to keep it waterproof. I would still look at my phone or dope card if I had time, but thought this might be nice for quick shot opportunities.
