You may not like the answer to this one. There are several reasons that much of the barcode business uses speciality printers, instead of laser printers. A couple are the printing of labels one at a time, availability of specialty shapes, and the availability of specialty adhesives. The stock labels available for laser printers are pretty much limited to paper and polyester. I believe that Avery makes a standard polyester plastic label for laser printers. You might try this label and see how well it works.

The main problem is that you can print on a greater range of materials/adhesives with a thermal transfer printer than with a laser printer. I do believe I have seen custom printed/iron on labels. You might look for a product using one and call the manufacturer and see if you can track the process down (long shot). Also take a look at a company called Electronic Imaging Materials at www.barcode-labels.com, they have been very helpful in the past with exotic label material and adhesives.

Why not give our sales department a call 800-874-4465 and ask for some samples of our concrete adhesive labels. Now mind you they are thermal transfer and they are a specialty item, so they are more costly but by getting a sample you can see if the adhesive is strong enough for your application.
