If it's not cost-prohibitive, I would purchase new "view" binders - the ones with the clear outer cover that allows you to slip in a custom cover and spine on cardstock. I wouldn't think it would cost much more than those metal-framed tag holders that might be difficult to attach to a binder.
But, if that's not an option, I'd definitely stick with the pen, assuming you're talking about those permanent metallic markers (e.g., Sharpie). Better yet, one of those paint pens that uses an oil base paint (even more permanent). You can get them at craft shops or art supply dealers. In my experience, adhesive labels are virtually guaranteed to fail on binders eventually. Good luck!

I was thinking of just a silver metallic pen, but anyone knows of other fasteners that can be ordered with paper insertions (brass or silver tone frames), I might prefer it. I mean simple labels like "Walker" or "Death Certificates." I know this is off-topic. Replies welcomed to my private address.
