Wendy and all --
A similar method is to use Velcro instead of the double-stick tape. Staple
one half of the Velcro to the wall -- adhere the other half to the back of
the label. The Velcro also allows for re-positioning the label if you don't
get it level the first time -- which double-stick tape doesn't let you do.

A method recommended to us by Clifford LaFontaine (NY exhibition designer)
is very easy and very kind to walls: You use a staple gun to adhere
either a piece of paper or matboard to the wall, then use double-stick
tape (like white rug-tape) to stick the label itself to the paper.
Removing them leaves only the tiny holes of the staples. If you use
strips of matboard, the label applied atop it stands slightly away from
the wall, which looks very nice, but if you prefer no shadow lines, simply
use a thinner piece of paper.
We had tried just about *everything* else before Clifford gave us this
siimply method.
