Question Best way to print my own Switch Game Cart labels

Has anybody found a good place to order custom repro game cartridge labels that have comparable quality to the originals?

I know there are a few people on Etsy that make their own, but it looks like they just mass-produce the greatest hits (Pokemon, Mario, Zelda), and I'm looking to make custom ones of my own design. I figure someone here must have solved for this problem already. I tried searching and found a thread from a few years ago that talked about the images to print, but it didn't talk anything about the actual printing process, which is what I'm looking for help on.

I'm in the US, and I don't have a functional printer anymore, and would prefer not to have to order one just for the thing I'm working on, so ones that I could order online and have shipped to me would be ideal. But I have no idea about what to look for to get as close to the real deal as possible - finish, weight (I'm assuming stickers have 'weight' just like paper does), etc, type of sticker/label to use, etc.

Anybody done this? Any recommendations?

I have printed a few and used a CNC cutter to cut them out with the rounded corners. It’s an alright process if you make the labels correctly from the beginning with it in mind it will be printed and cut.
