I use plastic bread tie tags, free with my loaf of bread and easy to replace. Very weather resistant if you dont get the new cardboard ones.
They are also very good for cable management.
They've completly phased them out here near me. The new paper ones are useless for the bread once opened, and even worse for anything else.
The old plastic ones were very handy for a whole range of uses.

I have a labeler that prints heatshrink, but I prefer to just use a normal label then put clear heatshrink over that.

I haven't bought or tried them so can't comment on quality.
Just bought a couple of rolls of these to test and see how it goes; shrink ratios, label maker compatibility, label longevity etc. Will report back.

Have you got a file you could share?
The ones I have are from Strammade, but there's a few options. SFL do one, there's some on thingiverse and no doubt many more

I just bought a bunch of different colored zip ties and attached one to each end of the connection. It's cheap, simple, and I have zip ties on hand to match my props when I attach brackets to them.
