Markers that do not wipe off with alcohol or cleaners

We currently have nurses write an open/ exp date with a permanent marker on certain supplies. When they wipe the supplies with chemical wipes, alcohol or even hand sanitizer it fades the dates. Does anyone know of a marker that will not just come off with certain chemicals for dating supply purposes?

We finally ended up pre-printing labels from the Print Shop and tested them.
Since glucose controls are changed every 90 days, this works well. The labels are impervious to finger oils and cleaning.
this might not work if other items are included that are not opened/discarded on a schedule.
My go to one is called Azer-Ink chemically resistant markers from Azer Scientific.
