Printed Labels on Heat Shrink Tubing

Easy heat-shrink wire labeling with a Brother P-Touch label-maker:
"I've noticed that the text printed on the tube can be rubbed off if you handle it much before applying heat. Once it's been heated the label is pretty durable"
"I now stock heat-shrink tubes in 5.8, 11.7, 17.7, and 23.6mm widths. Heat-shrink cassettes aren't super expensive on a per cassette basis but on a per foot basis they're kind of pricey. Standard P-Touch label cassettes hold 8 meters of tape the heat-shrink cassettes are all 1.5 meters. "

With other labels, the one sure fire way to avoid delaminating is to wrap clear heat shrink around the label.
