Whether you're managing manufacturing equipment, tools, IT hardware, or rental inventory, asset tags and labels play a critical role in tracking and protecting your physical assets. These labels help ensure visibility, streamline operations, and support regulatory compliance. With today’s advanced printing and data technologies, asset tagging has evolved beyond basic barcodes to include QR codes, serialized data, and tamper-evident designs—making it easier than ever to manage resources across your facility or supply chain.

Asset tags are specialized labels affixed to physical items to identify and track their location, status, maintenance history, or ownership. Used across industries such as manufacturing, logistics, utilities, and healthcare, asset tags help companies:

• Maintain inventory consistency
• Track asset movement and maintenance
• Prevent theft and unauthorized transfers
• Meet compliance or audit requirements
• Reduce manual recordkeeping errors

These tags are available in a range of materials and data formats to suit indoor, outdoor, high-heat, and high-wear environments.

QR code labels offer a fast and convenient way to link assets to digital systems—no scanner required. A smartphone is all you need to:

• Access manuals or instructional videos
• Log maintenance or inspection activities
• Record check-in/check-out for tools or equipment
• Verify asset locations in real-time

QR codes can be customized to include up to 50 characters and are compatible with most asset tracking software platforms.

Barcodes remain a standard in inventory control, offering a fast way to scan and retrieve product data. Depending on the complexity of your asset tracking needs, you may choose from:

• UPC/ EAN – Universal retail codes

• MSI / Pharmacode – Specialty or pharmaceutical use cases

• ITF-14– For cartons and pallets

• Code 128 / Code 39 – For asset and warehouse management

Custom barcode labels can be printed to include serial numbers, part numbers, or other identifiers for internal use.

Serialized labels provide each asset with a unique ID, which is crucial for:

• Tracking maintenance or service history

• Supporting crime prevention and recovery

• Managing equipment under warranty

• Enabling product traceability

These labels are commonly used in electronics, machinery, and appliance manufacturing.

Identification labels provide key details about a product, such as:

• Hazardous chemical classifications (for GHS or OSHA compliance)

• Operating instructions or specs

• Ownership or company information

These labels are critical for regulatory compliance and workplace safety, especially in environments with chemical handling or high-voltage equipment.
