Custom Labels for Raw Comics?21165

I AM... THE Bat-Manuel MurrayC private msg quote post Address this user
I'm wondering if anyone or there knows of a product that is essentially a sticker you can put on the bag of your raw comics to help identify it's uniqueness?

I've been bitten by the "must get every version of a comic" bug, and I want to start labeling the books to help identify their uniqueness at a glance.

I want a sticker that identifies the book as either: Newsstand, Direct Edition, Mark Jewelers Variant, Canadian Price Variant, Whitman Variant, Pence Variant, Printing, and/or Key Issue.

Is there a product I can purchase, or, has someone here ever created a custom made label willing to share?

I'm envisioning each identifier as abbreviated with a small checkbox, and a key label with a line you can write on.

I have a Dymo 450 that I use the print postage labels on my desk at all times.
So my go to for making customs labels is the 1"x1" square labels for my PC.
My standard format is
Title in bold
Issue #
What I paid
Where I purchased from
Then on the bottom I put in bold if its a key and why
Sometimes even add a small clip art log to it

I place my sticker on the back side of the backing board and file it away
