Hi Rick, My lab puts a little number sticker on the envelope and the film cannister, and when the film is returned (uncut) the same number sticker is attached to the film leader. If I were to cut the film, the sticker is applied to the negative sleeves.
However, the best approach, IMO, is to waste a frame and photograph the info you need for your records. FWIW, I don't do anything to keep track other than to put the exposed film in an envelope and write on the envelope what's on the film.
