Ed,
It was sort of an amateur (and anxiety driven) approach.
The fact is that I printed that sheet on my work's laser printer (on a Friday) and didn't know then if the toner would even stick to the buttons.
I didn't think then of adding any cross-hairs or other alignment aids.
I took the sheet home on the weekend and first trials worked so well and transferred so effortlessly that I kept going and found a way to align the labels I had at hand.
Sure enough, it took me some trials and some failed batches, but I wouldn't stand waiting another week to try again.
I think that printing a rectangle border of the size of the buttons would help to cut 4 flaps that would fold and match edge-with-edge, creating a small hollow box that could be put together with adhesive tape, and the button would just drop in.
It would certainly improve the process.
Rgrds,
Fabio

Fabio mentioned some difficulties in aligning the text onto the button faces.
How about maybe adding guidelines or some kind of extra markings around the
texts to help cut out the physical transfer pieces? If the cruciform cutouts
can be made nicely registered to the text positions, then the edges could
squared up when wrapped over the buttons, assuring proper alignment.
