After trying many ways to make my own labels for handmade textile items, I finally stumbled across a tutorial on how to use transfer paper with cotton twill ribbon.  I had been using a special setting solution and printing my labels directly onto fabric but the results were not crisp and saturated.  I wish I'd thought of using transfer paper sooner! My labels look FANTASTIC now! Incredibly saturated color, crisp lines, just awesome! I get so many labels out of just one sheet of paper (and a large spool of cotton twill ribbon) that it's very cost-effective.  For other crafty types, these would also be perfect for ironing onto sew-in labels (my next project).  I can't speak to how they stand up in the wash yet, but I also read that if, after they've cooled, you iron again with just a piece of parchment paper on top, you'll remove a little of the excess "plastic-ey" coating and also set the design/colors a bit more too, but I haven't done that yet....
