Our asset labels can be used for two purposes; identification of an item (tracking label), or to show an item has been tampered with (security label).
The use of unique serial numbers or barcodes will allow tracking and identification of a valuable item.
If you are concerned about tampering of an item, such as someone opening a computer case to gain access to internal components then the use of a tamper evident material will indicate any unauthorised access.
Material used in our asset labels:
There are various materials with which fixed asset tracking labels are produced such as foils, paper, or plastics (polyester or vinyl). Paper labels are generally very basic and offer poor lifespans, which is why we simply don’t sell them. All our labels are made from polyester, and are fused with a very strong dual layer of adhesive, offering a “permanent” label and extreme durability!
ProAsset labels; classed as a “permanent” non-tamper evident material, which offers superb durability for asset tracking and identification.
SecureAsset labels are our range of tamper proof / evident materials which combine various security measures that indicate when they are tampered with, or removed. Security features include destructible labels, checkerboard pattern labels, and voiding labels.
We offer full bespoke custom layouts, unlike other companies who often use templates. Our graphics department design, the layout you want and email a proof prior to printing to ensure you get the label you want! Often layouts identifying information for example; company logo, name or contact details, phone number, postcode, serial identification number often produced with a barcode, and whats more… we dont charge any extra for serial numbers, barcodes or any other information you want on your labels!
Using labels and Preventing Theft:
They say that prevention is the best way to deter theft; through applying a visible asset tracking / identification label this can act as a deterrent. Often recommend to clients adding the wording “Item security marked” to the label, whether or not this has been done, as this adds to the deterrent with a thief not wanting to steel and item which may be tracked. Insurance companies sometimes offer discounted rates to clients which attach asset tracking labels to their equipment. With full details of any lost stolen items being on hand. Anyone seeing and reading an asset sticker can be put off from stealing the item, or if an item is found by an individual they can ensure it is safely returned by contact the owner. Having asset tags held in stock will mean a label can be attached easily to every new item purchased.
The use of a tamper evident label does not offer much additional theft prevention, as all labels can (over time) be removed without a trace, due to this we recommend combining a “permanent” label with other property marking, such as ultra-violet ink, or micro dots.
