OK. CO$T is no object. BG

I feel a bit uneasy about leaving paper labels inside my breaker box

Uneasy from a SAFETY standpoint? Heh!

If things go to hell inside a properly installed enclosure, a few
inches/scraps of paper won't make ANY difference. The issue here is wasted
effort as the labels would eventually degrade and become unreadable.

I have had much success in labeling wiring with the extravagant use of my
Brother P-Touch labelmaker. Extravagant because I make them so the whole
phrase/text is viewable from one side. This requires either a blank side to
back-up the front side's adhesive or, with some experimentation, identical
text on BOTH sides of the tag.

5-6 years ago, using Brother's laminated TZ tape, I posted a label on a fence
post that faces south and the label has yet to fade. That bodes well for
long-term reliability when labeling either side of a breaker panel.
