The realm of "asset labels and asset labeling" is extensive -- ranging from identifying fixed assets such as machinery or buildings to non-fixed assets like office furniture, equipment, tools, and computers. Assets consist of all property of an organization, including raw goods and work in process items.

By labeling your assets and property, you not only identify your ownership of the items, but you start to establish inventory control with specific locations. Asset labels provide a certain amount of security and the knowledge that you have accounted for your valuables. However, we have to admit the fact that if a thief really wants to steal something, a label is not enough to deter them and with persistence, even the most durable, tamper-evident tag can be removed.

Here is a partial list of areas where asset labels are successfully used:

• Museums and Special Collections
• Library Labels
• Law Enforcement
• Government and Military

Since an asset label is expected to last as long as the item it is identifying, durable materials with strong adhesives are used. Asset tags can be made from a vast selection of Materials for Asset and Property Labels.

Barcodes were meant for Asset Labels

Trying to keep track of assets and inventory in manual systems can lead to extensive errors and lost items. When you add barcodes to asset labels, they become the "license plate" for your property. With a unique ID, barcodes linked to a computer system let you quickly track your items as they move through your home or workplace. They provide useful accurate information on which to base other management systems.
