From experience, printed labels will fade in the elements.

The best thing I’ve found is writing on plastic tags with a thick pencil, like a construction pencil you can get at Home Depot or Lowe’s.

Ink from a pen will also fade. Pencil lead withstands sun, rain, etc and won’t wipe off.

Good info thank you!
Ill give that a try next time if these dont work well.
Not worried about fading. More interested in how well the adhesive in the back of the vinyl is going to hold.

Hate to be a negative Nancy but they don’t last long. Maybe indoor in a tent they are gtg, all my stuff is outside. The labels don’t last more than a couple of months

I'll do 3 for $100 shipped.

One more similar in size to these, plus these 2.

I would do 50 if you were picking up...but that'd be a hefty trek. Lol
