I should add that, in addition to the possible problem with reflectiveness,
we had an exhibit come through that used these labels in conjunction with
wall-hung textiles that couldn't be touched.  The font on the labels was
large, but not large enough if you're more than arm's length (3-4 feet)
away from the adjacent piece.  We also had a problem with the print losing
contrast (and therefore legibility) when put on a painted background.  For
specific applications, though, it's a nice idea!
