How long have telcos been using these 145P tags, and what's the origin story?

I see them called out in some specs.  The manufacturers' pitch is that it's 
"non-metal" and "fiber-based" to make it safe around electrical installations.

I see the installers are tying the 145P on things and then printing out a label 
on their label printer to stick onto the 145P tag.  If the printed label is 
acceptably "non-metal" and safe around electrical equipment, then why did you 
need the 145P tag?  Why not just print out a wire marker label?

I'm speculating that these come from a time when you couldn't just print out a 
plastic label on demand, and you could tie this onto the cable and write on it 
with a marker, but I have no basis for that other than they don't seem to make 
sense any other way.
