Here I am.
It is a A4 sheet of fine fiberglass, they are called "Copier card webs" (Kopier-Vlies in German). You can find them at www.swiss-composite.ch and www.r-g.de. Ten sheets cost 6.80 euros.
I bought 4 sheets but I have not yet used them. I should make a test soon.
This is the catalog description:
"Copier card webs, white
Suitable for laser and ink-jet printers as well as photocopiers, these
webs let you design and print out your own ratings plates, safety
labels, and product IDs, easily and economically, without the urgent
need to order large print runs.
The web labels are simply copied and laminated when needed –
absolutely counterfeit-proof and so ideal for the reliable identification
of your products, e.g. with respect to cheap imports.".

There is a stuff called "copyfleece" used by surfboard builders. I think it's the same stuff Davide mentioned. It's a none woven glas fiber material available in sheets or rolls. I know this supplier:
