We'll put our normal label for ILL requests our patrons borrow over 
whatever the lender provides.  The lender's label won't have your 
contact info for renewals, you might want to provide your patron with a 
due date earlier than what's printed on the strap, and there might not 
necessarily even be anything that indicates that the book was an ILL 
provided by you and should be returned to you.  There's probably at 
least a couple more other solid reasons to provide your own 
bookstrap/label, but I'm sure there's also setups that make these 
reasons redundant depending on what other systems you're using.
