Default Small Coaxial Cable Labels?

I've done the same thing, except the labels were handwritten (block
letters, obviously).

Was a trick I learned from a radio station engineer I used to ride with
back in my mid-teenage years.

This method certainly looks more professional than tags hanging from
the cable - or even those little digit strips that you'd wrap around
the wire to make up a code. Anyone remember THAT???? UGH!
