Great solution!!! Looks like 3M and others use a vinyl adhesive backed tape.
My Dymo labelmaker may actually be a good approximation to the pre-titled
vinyl labels which 3M sells.

An excellent approach I had never considered. Many thanks,

I have just installed a generator for emergency power backup which

8 wirenut splices inside my breaker box (to bring the 8 protected

for
future identification, I have tagged each wire with its' circuit with
such
names as "Furnace". "Refrigerator", "Sump Pump", etc., using
adhesive-backed
paper labels wrapped around each of the 8 wires.

I feel a bit uneasy about leaving paper labels inside my breaker box, and
wonder if there is a correct way to properly tag wires inside a 200 amp
breaker box which allow for distinct and easily readable marking but are
not
in some way violating code or creating some type of fire hazard.

Something like this:
