I use metal plant labels like the ones in this link:

To them I stick labels from a label maker. I use a label maker that uses TZ tape such as the one here:

The legal issues that will arise when the undead walk the earth are legion, and addressing them all is well beyond what could reasonably be accomplished in this brief Essay. Indeed, a complete treatment of the tax issues alone would require several volumes.

I was looking at these zinc labels

Home Depot sells sheets of thin metal, you could probably cut it into pieces and make your own sized labels.

I've always liked using rocks as labels. Find a big flat rock get a stencil and some black paint and you're set.

Got any photos of the rock-labels? It sounds like a great idea.

I was also thinking you could uses coins and drill a hole in them to hang them. Then use the year on the coin for the year of the culm.
