We used to do that, we had metal number strips that we'd tack on with brads. The looked like a metal version of those embossed label makers from the 80s.
Everything went in a binder for future use. I do not miss that at all.

We use color coded electrical tape. It's super cheap, and easy to spot from far away.

We use different color zip ties and have a chart on the wall for easy reference. The only draw back is that on the rollers after retensioning occasionally we have to rotate the knot on the zip tie to the inside of the frame so that there is no risk of hitting the i image print head.

We actually just hold it up in the light and guess....LOL
For us, 110 and 156 are white screens - we put a pc of blue tape on the 156.
230 and 300 whatever - are yellow and put a pc of blue tape on the 300
Thats on the statics
We have been getting our shurlocs back in rotation again, and those are color coded anyway by the strips.
I dont keep track of anything with them. Every once in a while I just order more panels for the shurloc and it seems to just fill in the ones we had to toss because of holes.

We are using a Brother P-Touch 700 label printer. They hold up extremely well.
