I realize this is a knife forum. People who collect knives also have torches, cell phones, Bluetooth headphones (Airpods as example) and other lithium ion included batteries. I've settled on Pirateship. It's excellent. I even found my answer to part of my question on their technical support site.

I've just sold one torch on the Gadgets & Gear Exchange.

Does anyone know where to obtain the UN 3481 decal in lower than 50 qty for $7 I found on Amazon? Yes this is an obscure and niche question. But the potential penalties for illegally shipping lithium ion batteries are SEVERE. Even a cell phone qualifies as a Class 9 hazardous product and it's illegal to mail at the USPS without this label.

DOT regulations specify that the hatch mark must be at least 5mm wide and RED. Perhaps I can go to a Staples and color print am image? May cost more than $7 for 50. Haha.

eBay, sort for lowest price. 5/10/20 quantities available. I assume you're only asking because you don't have a color printer at home (or work?).

When you ship at the post office, they put a sticker on the box for you. Maybe they could give you a few?
 
I definitely don't have a color printer. Also wasn't finding versions I could print. Thought about trying to find a place.

I should have been a little more specific about "real time". eBay is a good idea to have a few on hand if printing doesn't work out.
