What would be ideal is transparent plastic channelling that "snaps"
over the shelf. These IKEA Billy shelves are 18mm thick. I could cut
the channelling to size, using ordinary scissors.

Then I can easily move the labels as and when the contents of the
shelves change. The labels themselves I could just print off on my
laser printer.

Has anyone seen anything like this, or has alternative suggestions?

Will whiteboard pens wipe off melamine? They certainly wipe off packing
tape and its white equivalent no problem.

I want to apply PRINTED "labelling" (from the laser printer). This has
got to look professional, because I'm trying out a new idea, not just
sorting out my bookcases.
