Natalie, they don't at mine either. If you step on the metal marker it just bends over often times taking out the fan your foot would have missed in the first place!
Bluegrassmom mentioned embossing on aluminum tape...here's a link to an ATP article that explains a way of making them.

For many plants I cut strips from an old black nursery pot as label material. They're inconspicuous, but last forever. (well, 5 years in FL sun is forever in my book) One friend I gave a plant to commented 'What an elegant label you made' so they can look nice, too.
I'd love to see some of these, do you have images Elaine? I've been looking at several different ways to mark my seedlings now that the price of the labels I was using has gone up. I use several hundred labels to mark the crosses until a seedling is selected and gets an individual label, anything to keep cost down helps
