What works in practice

  • Use UV-stable print or engraved plates — sun and rain destroy paper in weeks.
  • Angle labels slightly upwards for easier scanning while standing.
  • Group codes into a trail with a map page at the entrance.

Common question

Only with weatherproof material. Laminated paper lasts a season at best.
