It's feasible to use a word processor program to produce a
passable box label.  I used the free Open Office word processor
( https://www.openoffice.org/ ) to make the attached label using
Dave's example original label as a model:

Most of the fiddling about is in making a fair match for the different
fonts.  You can use blank (space character only) lines for vertical
spacing -- the font size determines the spacing.  Using a PDF file as
an intermediate step allows adjustment of the label size when printing.
