Our local music stores have plastic tags just like a luggage tag. They have a card on the inside to write name and info and they give us tons of them whenever we need them. Honestly, I just leave them on the case handle and then write the new students name on a bright piece of paper/cardstock then stick it in the tag.
In the last 6 years I have only had to replace a handful of them. they have held up very well.

Painter's tape. Cheap stuff won't stick. We use FrogTape brand and it lasts a year or more.

Colored electrical tape. Write name on tape with sharpie. Re-apply when the tape comes off.

Nothing is permanent. Don't try to make it so. Make it a part of your "Winterizing" and "Spring Cleaning" - everyone gets a new name label at the end of the first semester and before Spring Break if needed.

We laminate luggage tags and put on all the cases. We've had a few pulled off by middle school students, but that is a rare occurrence. We use construction paper in the primary school color and put the brand, model, serial number, and school contact information on the tag. Cases are all marked with the school initials so pawn shops can see it doesn't belong to them.

Luggage Tags. Preferably ones with replaceable name/address cards
