The problem is that the vendor is likely using one character set, and you are using another. Some characters won't display properly in that situation.
Unfortunately, there is really nothing you can do about it.
Pretty much. The only way around it is for both parties to use a character set which supports all the characters of their existing character sets. The best candidate for that is UTF-8 (Unicode).

That will fix it as far as PGP is concerned. The OP's concern, however, was with printed labels. Whatever editor/label printing software the vendor is using would also need to be set to use UTF-8 (Unicode), as opposed to whatever national character set they're currently using.
Yep, which is why I said that both parties need to use UTF-8. Unless the OP can convince the vendor(s) to use UTF-8 then he's up the proverbial creek without a paddle.
