The Clear Matte Laser is intended for laser printing, however you could use a permanent marker like a Sharpie to write on it. If you're concerned with the ability of your disc player to read or write to the disc, I would recommend a CD label. Using a rectangular label like the OL1100 could potentially cause balance issues depending on how sensitive the disc player is. If you only need a small amount of information to add to the CD, you could use our Center Hub CD Labels. I have included a link below for your review. https://www.onlinelabels.com/products/ol9990
