My experience is, that objects without a number might get lost quite easily
once several similar objects are displayed. We also advise museums to label
each single object if only part of an object might be on display.
For textiles, I use cotton tape (washed) and write the number with edding
1800 profipen, which is a waterresistend and lightresistent ink pen. Tests
have shown that no further rinsing is needed, because the ink really is
stable.
