For very simple labels with only some text an approach based
only on flowables will work, but as soon as you need to add
anything else (read: interesting stuff), you'll need to have
access to the canvas. But you can also have that from flow-
ables, of course.

I've been writing/using my own labeling library with Report-
Lab for years now, alas, it's probably not ready for release.
But it can be used for very different kinds of stuff, like
name cards, CD labels and so on. Here is a fancy example for
badges as inspiration:
