They do produce stickers just for this type of thing.  I had a bunch 
of these from a foil transfer kit.  I believe they were just regular 
labels, the backing was a 3M glue.  The idea is to not use anything 
that might melt as Russell suggested or an adhesive that might ooze 
when heated and contaminate the photoconductor unit.

I did cut down stock taped it to paper carriers when I used the 
expensive dynaart papers; but with magazine stock there's little 
point.  At least on my 5L transport, whole pages aren't a problem.  
YMMV.
