Oh, and they're NOT inlaid chips, they have hot stamps as stated above.

Rather than telling you what not to do, I'll tell you what I know and what I think I know.
Firstly, having done some labels myself, on a very nice laser printer, there is only one way to go - Professional Printing of labels. Doing it yourself is really more work than its worth.
What I know about the GB is that we should have enough room to put a thick enough label to cover up the hot stamp.
Palm Imports has the ability to produce labels to the EXACT diameter you want, and they are actually pretty thick and pretty textured. I am quite certain that Joe would send you a couple samples inexpensively (maybe get some now, then get some after you get the GB so you know exactly how big Joe should make them)
I think most people in the GB are hoping that sanding will not be necessary, I have never done and sanding of chips so someone else will have to chime in on that one.
Go for the highest resolution you can put together when making your stickers, most of the manufacturers will be able to tweak your artwork once you send it to optimize for little or no cost.
Unless you are a real good graphics person, its probably worth it to have someone here design your labels... after all they're going on PAULSON! most folks here are very helpful and work fairly inexpensively.
I think you'll find that labels hold up pretty good provided they don't get wet. I only have used samples from Palm, I like the texture and the stickiness, the graphics could probably be a little sharper but I sent small images with a fair amount of detail. Your experience may vary.
Hope this helps a litte. I know it helps a little more than the previous posts
