You might look into either a heat mount or cold mount adhesive or Crescent makes an adhesive mount board. We have used all three methods, but currently use a cold mount version that comes on a roll. I think it is a giant roll of ATG framers tape actually.

 

Some museums  still make labels on paper or card stock and then place a plexi cover over the label with a couple of brads to nail it in place.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] making labels- alternative to aerosol spray

 

Good morning!

 

Does anybody have suggestions for making in-house labels? Right now we use cardstock adhered to mat board with an aerosol adhesive spray which is then cut to size using a mat cutter. I’m hoping to find an alternative to using the aerosol spray. Any suggestions or ideas are greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!
