Please read below
Is that Elite labs?
If so, I'm not looking for hairy-mat labels
I'm not starting my own UGLi'd buy his gear.
it's for a product requiring similar labels (not gear related at all).

Make your own with a label maker. Cheap and you can design anything you want.

If its a legal product maybe check into a local graphic designer ?

Do you guys know what printers are better and if a protective film is needed?

Im not really sure what the best setup is as far functionality and design options , because my set up is pretty rudimentary. Just a brothers pt-2730vp , 24mm black on clear tape , and my labtop ...
That particular label printer runs about 450$ , but i dug around and grabbed it for about half that . You can use it as a stand alone or hook it up to your laptop for alot more design options. I havent really ever tried to really get to elaborate with my label game , so i just use it as a stand alone mostly . But it makes some really clean labels for all the more I need it for .

looks like color laser printers is the way to go:
These days, both inkjet and laser printers are capable of producing high quality, high resolution print, which means there isn’t a great deal of difference between the two. Some prefer to use inkjet printers if they are producing high resolution prints of photographs or graphic designs, while laser printers will ALWAYS be the better option if you need to produce WATERPROOF print (inkjet inks tend to be water-based, which means they will run or smudge if they are exposed to water or handled a lot).

Anyone knows how the clear protective film (that sometimes peels off) in consumer product labels is called?

I think I found my answer
Laminating Films
A huge variety of clear, adhesive-backed films have been designed to protect to the surface of all sorts of printed documents, including inkjet prints.
Lower-cost “hot” laminating films are made with heat-stable polyester films. The adhesives of “hot laminating films” are activated by the heat and pressure of laminators with heated rollers. A typical hot laminating film for printed documents activates at temperatures between 210 and 240 degrees. Because these high levels of heat can damage some types of inkjet prints, “low melt” or “heat-assist” films have been developed.
“Low melt” films have heat-activated adhesives that can be applied at temperatures between 185 and 195 degrees. “Heat assist” films have pressure-sensitive adhesives and liners and applied with hot-roll laminators at temperatures of 185 to 195 degrees.
“Cold laminating films” can be made of PVC, polyester, polycarbonate, polyolefin, or other substrates. These films use more aggressive, pressure-sensitive adhesives that are protected with a release liner until they are applied. Cold laminating films typically cost more than hot laminating films, but they can be applied with less costly, easier-to-operate non-heated laminators.
For smaller graphics such as yard signs, you can use a wide-format squeegee from sign-supply companies such as Sign Warehouse to apply a pressure-sensitive laminating film.
Laminating films vary greatly in cost, durability, flexibility, and their resistance to UV light.
In order to protect dye-ink prints from the damaging effects of moisture and humidity, it’s best to “encapsulate” the print between two sheets of laminating film that are slightly larger than the print. This keeps moisture from seeping in around the edges.

Did you ever decide on a label maker?
If you are needing a small amoubt maybe contact one of the sellers on made in china and ask them for a small order. Tell them you are not wanting to buy a large amount without knowing the quality.

I wonder if you can get decent quality by getting a template to print it on a color-laser, with a suitable coated cardboard paper
then addhere laminating film (clear protective plastic film) to it.

I was thinking the same thing
it'll only work for small quantities, then it quickly becomes too much of a chore.
