The Stabilo "write 4 all" pen works on glass, metal and plastic and is permanent.
Sometimes branded "Swan" depending on country.
I often use white vinyl electricians tape as label, and write n it with the Stabilo. Mostly I use the "medium" tip but there is also a fine.
The fine will even enable you to write on the insulation of individual cable cores.
Handy for switches, circuits, filing folders, dates on oil and air filters, jars of brush cleaner, pipe identification.
I happened to be in a theatre and saw a label on a lighting control that I had labelled at least 20 years earlier.

Forget all that lots.
Number the pots.
Keep a list of what's in what numbered pots.
That way you are not needing to change the info on the pots when you change the contents AND can be nice and techy and keep the list in a spreadsheet,videntify what grew well and what did not etc. Also on your phone, you can email it to gardeners question time for advice or something.
Make bar charts and pie charts, grow lists et all.

We like pie charts, sounds great I can see loads of high tech gardeners liking thatMake bar charts and pie charts, grow lists et all.
They are in pots so movable, wait till they come out and move to where they look best.
For unobtrusive labels, cut, flatten ,engrave copper tube then bend and tuck it to inside profile of the pot rim.
