Tree sign ideas needed!

I've replied to a few posts here and have been lurking for a while, but now I have a question that I'm hoping someone can help me with.

I have recently planted several fruit trees, some with three different varieties grafted to the same main branch. Because of these 'franken-trees', as I call them, I'm wanting to make some sort of label or sign that I can hang from them so that I know what each are growing.  Right now I have the little tags that the nursery puts on them, but I don't like that in the long run.  I want something that will not wrap itself around the branch from which it hangs, and will not get entangled into the others signs/labels. I thought of wire - go from one corner of the label to the other loosely and hanging off the branch - but that leaves me with the label itself.  Any ideas of anything that would hold up to sun, heat, wind and water for many years?
