Printing plant labels-?laminating

Hi oh learned ones.

I've been printing some plant labels, for some stuff I'm selling on markets/car boot sales. They look pretty good, but it's a bit of a pain having to remove them prior to watering the goods. And the substrate I'm using, (Staples A4 test and graphics 120g/m2), is quite expensive. And they curl in the sun.

I think the solution could be to use lamination. I don't know much about the process, I'm looking to print (about) business card size, and then stick to a cane/plant marker.

Is the process simple?
Are the pouches interchangeable between machines?
Is one machine better than another?
What's the estimated unit cost?

Cheers,

ginge
