The material from old flexible talking book discs, also known as sound 
sheets, made wonderful Braille labeling material.

When I worked in broadcast stations that used cart machines, I used 
that material to make labels, which I then taped to the top surface of 
the cartridges.

I also used it for labeling food containers. It would survive the 
freezer, and sometimes even the dish washer if I forgot to remove the 
label first.

Some of those sheets that came inside print magazines were 
transparent, and could be placed right over printed material. The NLS 
sheets were not.

I could use most of those labels multiple times.

Now, for those who really want to go way back in time, who will admit 
to remembering those plastic coated cardboard records by Bobby Sherman 
that came on cereal boxes?

I also had one by Johnny Cash that came from a bag of sugar. I managed 
to hang onto that one for a long time, but it finally gave up the 
ghost.
