Default Cable marking

I need to put stickers on several mains cables (IEC leads for PC
equipment). The stickers wrap round the cables with a small overlap.
However the adhesive is not strong enough and after a couple of weeks,
or less if the cable is moved around a lot, they start to peel off.


Opinions please on the best way of making these more permanent. My first
idea is clear parcel tape over the sticker - will this work? Any better
ideas?


The only really long lasting way - other than for just a number - is to
cover the label with clear heat shrink. But not practical unless you can
remove a plug from the cable.

You might have more success labelling the plug or line outlet as these
doesn't flex.
