I believe I have seen them at Office Depot as well.
You may want to check there, as well as some of the other office supply or craft stores.

Philatelic shops usually have various styles of pointers available
You could also print them onto sticky labels and cut them out rather than use a tape.
Cheers

I developed a system a number of years ago. It started with the flat cards in all greeting card sales where the indicator cards that show what the cards are get tossed. They are the perfect thickness and come in many colors. I liked the bright yellow best.
I cut the yellow in strips of the length of the pointers I like and they cut back and forth with scissors to get the little arrows. I use the paper tac to attach them to the specimens with tweezers. It has worked well for me for many years and the arrows are easily removed when necessary without leaving anything behind.
You can vary the color or size of the arrows easily.
