Matthew,

Not to be facetious at all, but the best tool I know that fits the needs
you describe is a pencil.

Assuming, of course, there is enough blank space on the reel boxes and
that the cardboard isn't coated so that pencil won't adhere.

I understand the concerns about graphite dust and such, but I can't
imagine that would be much of a problem as long as you limit your
markings to the box exterior.

Others, no doubt, will disagree.

Best,

andy
