I don't know where to get those. BUT I know a great alternative you can easily make yourself.

Blinds!

Simply take some scissors and cut up some old plastic blinds into the shape and size for stake labels. Mark them with a Sharpie permanent magic marker with whatever info you need. Or if your handwriting is poor, you can buy blank self adhesive labels at Office Depot that fit in your computer printer and print up labels to stick to the stakes you made from the blinds.

With a little care and practice you can actually make something pretty professional looking for nearly no cost.

Assuming you have an old set of blinds hanging around.
