Do you have to prime 3d printed objects? If not, just print the number and like dip into water paint. Ideally you could print a lip with higher numbers so only the top of the numbers get painted

If it’s bevelled text you can swap filament during print to make it stand out / easy to read.
Only problem is that you have to baby sit the print, which could slow down production considerably

You can do it with any 3D printer, as long as you orient the letters so they’re at the top of the print, you can insert a pause in the print job just before it starts the layers with the letters. Then you do a manual filament swap and resume the print.
Another option is to print a QR code on them with a link to instructions/the organization.
