Asset Labels & Tags Overview

by Rachel Cordingley

What are asset labels?

Asset labels enable the effective identification and tracking of business assets including tools, appliances, machines and equipment. They often feature barcodes, serial numbers and company branding.

Can I customise my asset label?

We can customise the size, shape, material, colour and branding of your asset label. We can add barcodes, QR codes and other variable information.

What are the different types of asset label?

Foil asset labels
Foil asset labels are extremely popular, they are made from aluminium foil with a high performance adhesive. They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. They are flexible so can be applied to curved surfaces.

Polyester asset labels
Our polyester labels can be supplied with a high-tac 3M adhesive and are laminated for durability. These labels can withstand harsh environmental conditions

Tamper-evident asset labels
Tamper evident asset labels are useful when you would like visual evidence of tampering to be left behind when removal of the label is attempted, we can supply four different types of tamper evident security label:

  1. Residue void labels. These are a type of tamper evident label that when removal is attempted leave a security message on the surface it was applied to. As they leave behind a security message on the application surface we would not advise these are attached to high-value items.
  2. Non-residue void labels. These are a type of void label that when removal is attempted display a visible security message on the label itself rather than the surface it was applied to.
  3. Ultra-destructible labels. These labels are a type of tamper evident label that when removal is attempted the label fragments into tiny pieces. These labels are useful when you do not want labels to be easily removed.
  4. Security slits. When removal of these labels are attempted the label tears along security slits which shows clear signs of tampering.

Mark and Seal asset labels

Mark and seal labels allow you to write variable information on a label at the time of application and then seal the label with a protective laminate. These labels are useful for small batch asset labels and allow you to identify your assets in a flexible way.

Metal asset labels

Metal labels are the most robust type of asset tag. These are either aluminium or stainless steel and are printed with a sealed anodised print. These asset tags can be supplied with drill holes or a high-performance adhesive
