Folder labels?



Greetings, all,


What is the experience of list members with file
folder labels? Is there a
label on the market that uses a type of adhesion
and/or material that lends
greater "permanence," discouraging any falling-off?


My preference has always been to use pencil, for the
above reason. However,
we are faced with the daunting task of eventually
re-foldering and
re-labelling 1000's of files in semi-processed or
unprocessed collections.
I understand that certain types of new labels may
resist drying out and
retain their adhesion; however, I am skeptical. Does
anyone have any
long-term experience, positive or negative, with
these?


Thank you in advance.
