When your business has valuable assets, loaned equipment or fixed assets that require maintenance, identifying and tracking them is essential for security, auditing and successful maintenance programmes.
Our team are here to help you identify the most suitable type of asset tag for your specific requirements. We can design and specify a range of tags from simple paper and vinyl asset labels to bespoke tamper-proof security tags. Our labels, printed digitally in full colour, utilise materials and adhesives that are unique to your industry application. Our asset tags range from white and silver polyester options, custom labels, and a variety of security and tamper-evident asset labels.
Asset labels are typically designed to be non-removable or non-transferable to ensure security in your asset management. To achieve this, we design tags with specialised adhesives and tamper-evident labels, which will either be destructible or void on tampering, depending on the specific application needs.
Quality asset labelling is crucial for swift and precise data collection. With our expertise in delivering comprehensive barcode-driven solutions, GSM Barcoding will be happy to advise you on integrating labelling, hardware, and software to create an asset tracking solution.
Asset Tags
Custom Asset Labels
If you’re seeking an easy and affordable way to identify and track your assets, we offer a variety of plain and pre-printed asset labels suitable for various industry applications. Our asset tags and labels may include features such as sequential numbers, barcodes, QR codes, and branded logo designs. They come in a range of colours, sizes, and materials, from budget-friendly paper labels to more durable vinyl asset tags. If you would prefer to design your own asset labels in-house, we can provide bartender label design software that will allow you to design labels on demand when coupled with a barcode label printer.
Durable Asset Tags
If your assets are applied in challenging environments, such as manufacturing plants or outdoor settings, choosing a durable asset tag or label is essential. We can produce labels and tags made from materials designed to withstand high temperatures, sunlight, abrasion, solvents, and more. For the highest level of resistance against abrasion and chemical exposure, polycarbonate labels are ideal, laminated for heavy-duty protection; they can endure tough conditions. Alternatively, anodised aluminium tags feature information etched onto them and are a high-quality solution for both indoor and outdoor use.
High-Security Asset Tags
There are many innovative asset tag options available, including non-removable tags, destructible tags and tamper-evident tags. If your organisation has valuable assets that are at an elevated risk of theft, using asset tags can prevent loss and future unauthorised use. Non-removable tags are selected for maximum security, whereas destructible vinyl asset labels and tamper-evident labels that leave a void mark if removed are an option for those wishing to deter theft and discourage transferring the tags to other assets.
RFID & RTL Asset Tags
Take that extra step to safeguard and monitor critical assets using the latest RFID and real-time location system (RTLS) tags. RFID for asset tracking provides radio reading of tags, improving monitoring of tagged items access and exit via portals and gates, more precise data tracking and enhanced security. RTLS makes asset tracking in real-time with beacons and tags that communicate with mobile devices and track over wider ranges. Ideal for critical monitoring of personnel or high-value assets.
Asset Tag Data Encoding
At GSM Barcoding, we specialise in supplying encoded labels & tags for various symbology & RF data, including numeric codes like EAN, Alphanumeric codes such as Code39 used in automotive and defence, and 2D barcodes like DataMatrix for enhanced data capacity and readability, plus RFID, BTL and transponder tags. If you would like to know more about the right barcoding technology for your asset tracking, please speak to one of our experts today.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are assets in a business?
Generally, assets are resources employed by the business to achieve its objectives. It can be current assets, such as materials or consumables or fixed assets such as equipment, machinery and IT hardware. Whereas current assets are used up in the operational processes, fixed assets tend not to be used and are therefore tracked on asset registers and used within the business from one period to another and depreciation is applied to the asset over time. Tracking assets is very important for business accounting and for auditing in financial statements.
What’s the benefit of asset tracking?
Asset tracking improves accountability and resource optimisation through tracking the location, usage, staff allocation and depreciation of assets. Asset tracking is ultimately about accountability and control, a way of keeping an eye on assets within your business but also assets that maybe loaned or in the field, such as utility meters. Asset tracking can also help with planned preventative maintenance, as assets that require tracking and maintaining can have data records supplemented to their unique identification. This helps with facility and equipment management.
What is the best type of asset tracking tags?
There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to choosing asset tags. The tag that best fits the application, environment, budget and level of accuracy and dependability is key. There are asset tags, such as paper labels, that are low-cost and ideally suited for low-value internal assets that are not at high risk of tampering. Then you can have indestructible asset labels and tags that provide constant signalling of their location, such as Bluetooth tags. It all depends on the user’s requirements.
Can I design & print asset tags in-house?
Yes, you can print RFID and paper label asset tags in-house by using a combination of Bartender label software, a barcode label printer, and labels. Bartender allows you to design your labels with barcodes, QR codes, or RFID technology and incorporate design elements such as logos or sequential numbers. Printing your asset labels in-house offers flexibility, but if you require high-quality asset tags, such as vinyl or specialised asset tags, you should consider having them professionally printed.
