Sharpie works but is difficult to do well and rubs off.
You could use strips of tape and sharpie to do a binary code.
Tape, tape, sharpie, tape = 13

Subject: [AFMUG] Office Wire labeling
I'm getting ready to pull some Cat5 into an office space, about 40
drops. What's the best way to label the cables as they are pulled
before they are dressed/punched. Printing a label for each cable that's
going to get cut off as it's dressed into the patch panel seems
wasteful. Colored tape could work, but may get cumbersome with the
combinations. Is writing the drop number on the jacket with a Sharpie
the best way?
