I make up ~800 plastic labels every year for my tomatoes. I have found a "Paint' Sharpie pen that works great and does not fade in the summer sun and is waterproof. I use the Extra Fine Point, oil-based. I believe I bought them from Uchida of America, Corp. Since I enjoy writing the names on the plastic labels, it is no problem for me to do them by hand--just have to stretch it out--and it is a good winter project for me. The labels I believe I buy at Greenhouse Megastore as they are the cheapest. Got a delivery of 5,000 once when I ordered 500 and they said "just keep them" rather than send them back.
