My problem is a collection of >30 variously sized USB flash drives 
associated with several projects. They serve a variety of functions 
including transferring data between machines, temporary backup of 
project specific data, and being a bootable very custom system.

I hadn't been aware of "ziptie tags". I found some on the Staples 
website that appear suitable.

Some questions:
1. If my local Staples doesn't carry them, where might I look in a
    small city in very rural S.W. Missouri?
2. Pulling the ziptie tight enough to stay on will create an awkwardly
    shaped/size glob making storage problems. Any suggestions? I was
    wondering about permanently attaching something with a ring for
    loosely attaching the tie.
3. Any other ideas?

TIA
