Great suggestion, Mike!

Thanks!

I was also thinking of ILA.

I'm asking for feedback here because I don't want to order a bunch of sheets 
from somewhere, only to find that they will not stand up to Braille 
labeling.

A P H sounds like a good first try.

American Printing House for the Blind sells two sizes of labels.

I use them for my CD collection.

Just go to the APH web site, and search for labels.

Hi, all.

Does anyone know where one can get good plastic laminate sheets for
making
Braille labels with a Perkins Brailler?

My immediate use for the sheets will be to update my QSL card
collection.

I put my QSL's in plastic sleeves, which are then filed in loose-leaf
notebook binders to keep things organized.  I like to label each
sleeve with
the call and location of the station that has confirmed the QSO.

I could use dymo tape for this purpose, but larger laminate sheets
which I
could put in a Brailler are much more economical in the long run.

I found some laminate sheets at Staples, but they are too thin, they
often
get wrinkled when putting them into the Brailler.  Also, the Braille
on the
labels does not hold up well.

Any specific recommendations would be appreciated.
