I'd forego the tape. By the time he wants to reorganize it will be time to paint again anyway.
That's assuming he is like me and opens cabinets when fingers are icky with glue/paint/epoxy/etc :)
I have a color laser also, but regular black text on white labels seems to be the most readable.
As for the magnetic business cards, they have an adhesive on one side. I can use that to stick the magnet to anything non-metallic, then my magnetic label sticks to that magnet. I use this method on parts boxes that get tossed in the back of the car, slid and bumped around, etc. I have never had one of the magnetic labels fall off or shift, and yet I can easily take it off if needed.

Not tat tis is a great solution for you, but one I tried and liked for boxes that hold individual tools.
I build the box, place the tool inside, ten take a picture of it all nice and nestled where I want it. Then, I print the picture out and glue it to the outside of the box - coat with sealer. Never have to guess what's in it then!
That would take me, oh, about two months to do. :/ Building the boxes...another four.

If the label gets too aggressive, slap another label atop it.
Most of the fun of finding a tool is pulling out each drawer to see what's inside. One of the mysteries of life is looking for a tool unsuccessfully one time, then when looking for another tool another time, finding the one you couldn't find the last time.
There's an alternate universe into which such things disappear and from which they reappear. It's a vagary of quantum fluctuation which physicists have never been able to characterize.

They're also working on invisibility, but haven't quite got it focused right. That's why you don't see a tool you're looking right at.

Cats can sense this--that's why you see them staring at blank walls with their ears moving back and forth.

After that, I didn't have the heart to search for magnetic tags.

Ah. So that's why I found socks in the chisel drawer.
Superglue a sample of the contents to the front. The "label" will be permanent until you need to change it. A smack with a light hammer will undo the bond.
Larry Jaques has brought this to us :
While I accept I am ouside their target market(Australia). Any business that requires a LogIn for just a look see is not really wanting any customers.
I didn't look at prices, but he was looking for magnetic write on tags, not a giant calendar. Now you made me spend 10 seconds and go back and look, and Magnetic write on tags he would be interested in are around 50 cents each.
You could buy 1600 of them for $800.

Your GoogleFu is strong on that site. I couldn't find those at all. The sticker shock couldn't have helped, though.

I've found the Dymo labels also come off over time. At least they do on those small plastic drawers for small parts.
Are you thinking of the two-color plastic "Dymo" embossed labels or printed labels? I've never had the printed labels come off unintentionally. The older embossed labels have quite a curl to them and can release over time.
