My thoughts entirely - so if the sleeve is scanned on the computer, how about simply adding , in a suitable font, 'Polyester' (or whatever) and the current date? Then, at least you'll have something which looks right, but can easily be identified as something that's (hopefully) not a replace-on-sight part for the next custodian!
