Many of you probably do this, but for those who don't know...

Cheap plastic knives, forks and spoons make excellant plant markers.
I cut the knives in half and cut the handles off the spoons and forks,
with a pair of wire dykes. Write on them with a fine point sharpie and
you are good to go.

I've used "popsicle" sticks before and they bleed and mildew.

Here's what we use.
Buy a used, plastic, mini venetian blind at the thrift store. You can
usually find them for a dollar or less.
Disassemble it and cut the slats into whatever length you want. One
good sized blind will make several years worth of plant markers.
One other tip, use grease pencil for marking. Permanent marker is not
permanent out in the sun.
