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.

Barcodes and other details can be included in the design of these industrial labels so that details of your equipment can be easily scanned into a computer, listed and immediately identified. For example, aluminum plates and foils can include precision printed details such as sequentially numbered barcodes and 2D codes that are sealed in the aluminum with protective anodizing; providing years of protection against heat, cold, chemicals and abrasion. Teflon is also available as a label material for particularly extreme environments. Labels can be fixed with mechanical fasteners through punched holes for extra strength in such harsh conditions.

There is a wide range of diversity when it comes to Asset labels. These can be used indoors or out even in harsh weather. In industrial environments these tags are used to identify assets for operational purposes. These labels are sometimes used for security purposes. Usually for people with a business and wants their business property protected and secured.

By simply using either labels with a strong message or a very well bonded security tag you will be going a long way to protecting your valuable property. A message that I strongly recommend on any equipment label is "THIS ITEM IS ELECTRONICALLY TRACEABLE" and by adding a simple barcode to the label it can give the impression to a would-be-thief that it is an active label or contains an active traceable part. The opportunist while most likely go on to a simpler target or discard the item which will then hopefully be found and returned.

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.

To add durability to these tamper evident labels they are supplied with a clear lamination to protect the printed image. If the label is removed then the word 'void' is left on the surface and on the label itself, therefore clearly showing evidence of tampering. This is a theft deterrent but also discourages unauthorized asset transfers.

Some labels are printed using resin only and are a very cost effective way of identifying property. Also resin printed labels are available in very short runs normally from 100 labels. Another form of print is using foils which are then over laminated for extra protection for industrial or outdoor use. This type of tag is normally available from 500 item labels upwards.

There are a lot of companies that provide equipment Labels. An easier way to find someone who can provide you with these kinds of labels is via the Internet. Technology has outdone itself again. This kind of technology assures as that there will be more great discoveries and easier ways for our protection. We sure want to protect our own companies that we worked hard to build. Or our personal things that mean a lot to us.
