I tie a piece of red thread thru the hole in the ruler. It doesn't make a mark in my ruler, it doesn't get in the way of cutting or measuring, and if for some reason I cut the thread, I always have more thread lying around.

I use a clear cartridge in my label maker and my last name in all caps. Also, I don't lend my rulers to just anybody anymore.

I write my name on the edge of the ruler - not on the top or bottom but the part in-between.
