Durable ID Labels And The Benefits Of Asset Labeling

By Roger Young


Asset labels are numbered labels which are attached to your valuable business items. You can also use barcode labels with asset management software. As well as the number being on a label, it is also stored in a log by you - this may be a manual log or an automatic system which uses barcodes and asset management software. This article highlights the business usefulness of asset labeling.

Labels on the items are used to identify them. These labels can be used on different situations like, Personal requirements, commercial, industrial or Government. Manufactured equipment labels usually have a semi-permanent adhesive backing. Some has metal overlaid plate where the information or reference is attached. Some adhesives can be permanent but usually creates issues when you need to sell that certain asset. This will make it hard when it comes to removing a tag.

Seeing an id or security label will put potential thieves off. Labeling can be permanent and stolen goods marked in this way will not be able to be sold on. Even if someone tries to tamper with the label, a VOID mark or other stain will show, making the equipment unattractive to thieves or buyers on the black market.

In order to withstand outside forces, the barcodes and data are fused into a ceramic surface on the stainless steel plate and can withstand most chemicals and temperatures of up to 1000 degrees centigrade.

If you're lending items out to customers, contractors or other colleagues, property labels make this process much more efficient to co-ordinate. It can be especially hard to keep track of items if they all look the same or similar. Where you have such property, a numerical labelling system is invaluable. Some insurance firms insist that you prove you own certain items before they will pay out. Property labels are proof of ownership.

There are many types of asset labels available in market today that give a different look and feel ranging from a plain white label with black text through to high quality 200 micron plastic labels that are extra tough and come with a very strong bond adhesive. Other types are tamper proof also known as tamper resistant that will break into tiny pieces when removed making the removal a tedious long job. 'VOID' labels that when removed leave the term 'VOID' on the item and then cannot be replaced making them tamper evident.

Goods marked with labels will be recognizable as belonging to your company at a glance, as you can have the labels personalized with your company logo and details - if items do go missing, you're also more likely to get them back. Many types of businesses and organizations benefit from item labels such as schools, manufacturers, IT firms, government departments, police, universities, healthcare firms and more.

Security tags give extra protection and can be run alongside a security database enabling the easy return of miss-placed or lost property. Obviously, this is always dependent on the finder being honest and wanting to return the item.
