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!
