For labels, I use a P-Touch label maker and I use the TZ tape with the strong adhesive. I've never had a label fade or fall off, and this is with a huge pile of snow on top of them, year after year, before moving to Idaho.
I agree with Natalie, also use the TZ tape with the strong adhesive, they never fade but after many years a few of them crack on the name plate then I replace them. To help prevent fading try facing your stakes to the north to reduce the amount of sun shining on the labels. When making labels I put more than one daylily name on the tape until I get a message that there is no more room plus I put four or five spaces between the names then cut them after printing. My labeler is an old brothers hand held which has been working for many years.
