emergency travel paper

[Mary Smith]

This brings up a question I have always had about this: Is there a reason 
not to use self-adhesive paper? I have used file folder labels, with 
self-stick backing, for years. I can cut them into strips of varying widths 
and easily carry them in my tool kit. I also cut them crosswise and use as 
service records for myself inside the piano. Is it a bad idea to use this 
type of sticker on flanges? If so, why?
