Hello,
I have been using a lable maker to make lables for
my irises. The label tape has a sticky back but i
dont use it that way usually. Instead i poke a hole
through the lable at the biginning of the name and tie
it to pieces of bamboo with fishing line. Works fine
so far. My label maker came from KMart. It was in
the paper and pencils isle. Check them out if you
have a KMart.
Hope this helps
