For cheap plant labels,  I use cut up white mini blinds ( I got the idea from
another plant list last year). I use tin snips for the right length.  For very
small planting cells,  I first cut them up the center to be narrow.  YOu can
find mini blinds at garage sales for not much $,  and they will make many
metal labels -- enough for years -- that can be reused.  Mark them with a
pencil and for re-use, just erase the lettering.
