You can certainly use sticker paper (best is mat, printing is worse usually on gloss) - but then I would definitely use clear foil on top or varnish or both as paper would catch stains easily. This is what I did with the Varta sticker you saw - this was paper + clear foil.

Any print shop should be able print on vinyl to create you the decals. Send them the PDF file. I have printed on gloss sticker paper, and these have held out very well.
I also had them printed at a local print shop on vinyl. i was charged less then a Euro.

for those who have not noticed, i have re uploaded the files on the earlier post with a minor tweak.
