MHO (my humble option) is to utilize one of the vibrating engravers.
It makes small indentations in the surface of whatever material and
depending upon the intensity set you vary the depth of said indentations.
I then take a liquid ink/paint pen of the permanent persuasion and fill
the depressions. Wipe the surface clean and voila - the text remains.
On soft/flexible material I use the liquid paint pens. They come in all
colors so you can find the appropriate contrast necessary.  Does not
prevent theft but it is a deterrent. I have been using the Uni Paint pens.
Works well on my Werner paddles also. It sure helps in a group where much
of the gear may be identical. Learned this many years ago while SCUBA
diving.
