Re: Garage production run

You can buy labels for your personal printer that are a full 8.5 x 11
sheet size.

If the finished size of the gameboard (and therefore the flashing) is
smaller than that, the edges of the label would fold over the edges of
the flashing, providing protection from sharp metal edges.

Another material to consider would be very thin particleboard --
sturdy, can be cut to size, but no sharp edges.  You can stil apply
the label, or your could paint directly on the surface with a stencil.
