I went looking for this same thing recently.  I found that Avery, the label
making company makes pin-feed labels for 3.5" diskettes.  Egghead S/W sells
them (you also might try some office supply stores) at ~12.00 for 250 (as I
recall).  They are totally white (no colored labels) but they come with
multi-colored circular stickers, ~3/4" in dia. to color-code your diskettes.

I did not buy these so don't know how well they work, but was told that they
work well (what else do you expect the salesman to tell you).  I am still
looking for true colored labels (no stick-ons).  

Edu-Comp (the public domain and shareware warehouse) also sells pin-feed 
labels that are available in both white or colored, but they are kind of 
expensive at $7/$8 for 100 white/colored labels PLUS $4 for s/h.

I would like to hear of others experiences with any of these labels and
how well they work.  Either send me e-mail or post to the net.
