Hi.

Tags bleaching in the sun: bothersome at best. One of my neighbors threw out a venitian blind. One man's trash is another man's treasure. I rescued it before it was picked up by the garbage truck. I removed the strings, keeping only the slats. I cut an appropriate section of slat (about 6 inches), punch a hole at one end with a paper punch and engrave the plant's name on both sides using a Dremel tool. The tag is then attached to the plant with a zip tie. The sun can bleach the plastic all it wants, the engraving will not go away. No fuss, no muss. Cheap Dremel-like tools are available at Harbor Freight Tools. I didn't see forking out the cash for a genuine Dremel just for that application.

Take care.
Sylvain.
