For our rural properties (or outdoor artefacts) we use light gauge
aluminium tags that we buy from horticultural suppliers. These tags can be
written upon with a biro (ballpoint to you) which impresses the text into
the thin sheet of aluminium. The ink doesnt matter. The tag is then wired
on through a reinforced hole in the tag. Its tough. But the wire supplied
by the vendor has proved to be the weak link (it corrodes), so we now use a
galvanised wire. Maybe you can find the product through botanical
suppliers?
