Attaching a paper label

Hi everyone. Does anyone have any advice/experience on attaching a label to the inside of the guitar. I designed a really nice label using Gimp (basically a free open source of Photoshop) I plan on printing it on some type of cool looking paper. I remember from my school days that white glue makes paper curl and is also messy. Any tips or suggestions on what has worked for you. Thanks

I think fish glue was used on stamps back in the lick the stamp days. It reactivates with moisture.

I use 3M spray adhesive. Haven't had one come loose yet.
Suggestion. Spray a thin coat of clear varathane or lacquer over the top of the label before gluing it down, this will help it last longer and give moisture protection.
