Answering your frequently asked questions about asset labels and security labels:
1. Why should I use a label?
Tracking assets is vital for businesses, offices and schools. Asset labels provide critical information about an item’s location and can aid in generating reports for accounting purposes. They also help in identifying any theft of items. Many insurance companies now require items to be tracked using asset labels and an asset register, providing them with detailed information such as make, model, and value of the items.
2. What is the difference between asset labels and security labels?
The primary difference lies in tamper evidence. A security label or seal is tamper-evident, whereas an asset label does not need to be. Tamper-evident labels are used to indicate if a person has opened or tampered with an item, like a computer case, where you need to check if someone has opened the case and possibly removed circuits, memory etc. An asset label, on the other hand, is for tracking an item, typically used with a barcode and/or serial number in conjunction with an asset register (a list of serial numbers, with details about the item such as make, model, and serial number).
3. I want a label that cannot be removed, what can you offer?
All labels can be removed! However, what we can offer are labels that are hard to remove. Our standard PolyAsset labels use what is termed a permanent adhesive – a thick, strong adhesive. This results in your asset labels staying on the item and not falling off like cheaper alternatives. Or you could choose our PolyBreak material, which fragments when picked at, meaning repeated picking is required to remove the label. If you need a permanent mark on your item, we recommend the AssetBrander, designed to melt a brand into plastics. Many schools use the AssetBrander in conjunction with our asset labels to give a permanent brand with asset tracking.
4. Which barcode should I be using?
If you’ve never used barcodes on your labels before, you can use any type you would like (for in-house use). We recommend using Code 128 or Code 39 as these are universal barcodes and can be read by virtually all scanners. If you have labels already using barcodes, you’ll want to match the type used. If you are unsure what you are currently using, a photo or a physical label can be sent to our offices and one of our team will determine which barcode you currently use on your labels. Please check out our Guide to Symbologies and Guide to Label Materials sections for further information. As a service to our customers, we have provided a free Bar Code Image Generator that will allow you to add a custom bar code to any document.
