PolyAsset

Extra Durable Asset Labels: Unsurpassed Quality for Your Needs

Platinum (metallic/aluminium) and White semi-gloss finished polyester Mylar labels, which are recognized for their superior durability. These labels have earned their reputation as our most robust options, making them an excellent choice for fixed asset tags.

We offer these labels in two distinct sizes to suit your requirements: a larger size of 1 7/8″ x 3/4″ (47mm x 19mm) and a more compact size of 1″ x 1/2″ (25mm x 12.5mm).

We provide the option to print in Blue, Red, and Black, offering an enhanced visual appeal to these already impressive labels.

PolyVoid

3M Platinum polyester (Mylar) labels, featuring a distinct tamper-evident design. Uniquely designed to leave behind a “VOID” message on both the label and the surface when tampered with, these labels offer an additional layer of security. Their usefulness extends beyond mere security; these labels are also perfectly suited to serve as barcode labels, and even allow for manual writing, offering you flexibility and convenience.

Due to the specific design, these tamper-evident labels are exclusively available in one size: 1 7/8″ x 3/4″ (47mm x 19mm). This sizing accommodates the ‘void’ graphic effectively. For our PolyVoid labels, we maintain a striking, professional aesthetic by exclusively offering printing in Black. This allows for the highest level of contrast and visibility, ensuring clear readability and recognition.

White Semi-Gloss Polyester Destructible Labels: Extra-Strong Adhesion for Tamper Evidence

We invite you to explore our unique White Semi-Gloss Polyester Destructible labels. These labels boast a material composition reminiscent of the PTFE tape commonly used by plumbers to seal pipe joints, but enhanced with a significantly aggressive adhesive that’s solvent-based. This strong adhesive ensures that the label adheres firmly to virtually any surface, fragmenting readily at any attempt at removal.

These labels are particularly effective as tamper-evident solutions, although it’s worth noting that they may not be the best choice if high abrasion resistance is required. While these labels are outdoor-rated and waterproof, their non-abrasive nature means they may not have as extensive an outdoor life expectancy as our other polyester (Mylar) materials.

We offer these labels in two convenient sizes: 21mm x 47mm and 12.5mm x 25mm. Moreover, we provide the flexibility of printing these labels in Black, Blue, or Red, according to your preference. With our PolyBreak labels, your customization options are versatile and catered to your specific requirements.

PolyCheck

Our Mirror-Finished Chrome Security Seal: Robust, Tamper-Evident Protection

We’re delighted to present our top-of-the-line mirror-finished chrome security seal. Crafted from polyester (Mylar), these labels are equipped with a permanent acrylic adhesive. When the label is tampered with or lifted, it leaves behind an unmistakable checkerboard pattern on both the label and the applied surface, maintaining its integrity even if replaced precisely.

It’s important to note that the adhesive requires a curing period of 36 hours at room temperature before it achieves its full strength. While it may not adhere optimally to certain low-grade plastics, its performance on bare metal, painted metal, and other clean, smooth surfaces is exceptional. These security seals prove their resilience in the face of rough handling and promise longevity.

Given their metallic foil backing, these labels are conductive to electricity. Please exercise appropriate precautions in handling. The hard, smooth surface of these seals may require special pens (typically used for marking CDs, available at office supply stores) for writing.

Due to their highly reflective nature, our PolyCheck labels cannot accommodate barcodes. However, they provide customization options, as we offer printing in Blue, Red, and Black. Please remember that due to the highly reflective surface, these labels may not be suitable for barcode applications.
