I would add one word of warning here, this is what I did, and they look
good and easy to read..... But and my renovation is what we call "long=
Term" (8 years and counting) after while they pack up, I opened up a junction cupboard for my lighting system and with the exception of 2 all had fell off and had formed a nice pile in the bottom of the cabinet, I
was only looking to use one pair but I ended up borrowing a tone kit to
find them :-(  They will have been there for about 2 years.

I have also used the 3M numbers,letters,colours on a reel despensors (RS and Farnell) and these date back to when I started over 8 years ago,
none have come off.
