A couple of days ago I had a very similar question here:

I ended up ditching wax paper due to the fact it almost broke my inkjet and did the same approach with freezer paper. Worked awesomely. I posted a picture showing my outcome.

Ah,  Been busy at work.  Didn't catch this.  They did say the freezer paper worked better.  I can't wait to try this... on my older printer ;)

Let me know how you make out. It is still fresh on my mind so I can share knowledge of need be.

Ah, but my "you build it box" is unfinished.  That's why this caught my eye.  That and because I'm a full time artist, being able to add something that I could design is what I'm looking for to add to my build.  Just have to get through my holiday orders and then I can think about my build. Jan '16 can not come fast enough.

I've been using Avery address label sheets. Peel off the labels and print (inkjet) onto the backing. After printing, the backing paper can be reused by wiping the ink off with a damp cloth. I've experimented with PVA (Elmer's) glue and Mod Podge to no great success, found that printing directly onto the Avery backing sheet and placing very carefully onto a clean piece of wood is the best method. Don't forget to reverse your image before printing :)

Oh Al, That's a great idea.  I have boxes of labels that I don't use.  Thanks for the heads up on this.  The only thing that's stopping me from building is that I can't figure out what I want the box to look like.  This is really getting me closer to what I want to do.
