Does anyone else put in a ball band from the yarn used to knit the item

My family (on both sides) has done this for generations. Not only do we
include the label for the yarn, we also include any leftover - even if
it is an entire ball - so that if repairs are needed in future, matching
yarn is at hand. I once found this invaluable when my dh managed to
tear a hole in a sweater knit by his cousin. I was able to make a
perfect repair.
