For absolutely fade proof labels, I use paint pens (available in many colors at art supply stores, make sure to get 'extra fine'). This allows me to color code:
Black for the name
Red for clonal name, if any
Blue to show whether there are divisions available.

For mass produced labels (when I buy a compot, or, as in this case, I got 400 Cymbidium seedlings in this week), then I use my Brother P-Touch printer. The advantage to these self-adhesive labels is, that I can get up to 3 lines of print. Usually I have genus on top line, epithet on second line, and 3rd line with very fine print for the parentage.

I have used both for 10+ years, and they do not fade.
