Why Use Asset Tags? Top 10 Reasons for Bar Code Tags

Corporations, government agencies, utilities and universities require fixed asset tracking of property for many reasons which can't justify RFID:

1. Identify owned assets quickly and easily
2. Track serial or model numbers efficiently
3. Simplify inventory with property ID tags
4. Track high value equipment such as laptops & PDA's
5. Increase security with regular monitoring
6. Reduction of theft with visual identification of assets
7. Monitor asset movement between locations
8. Compliance with insurance or government regulations
9. Track useful life of assets and depreciation schedules
10. Schedule maintenance and replacement of owned assets

3 mil Metalphoto® foil is the most durable and broadly used asset label material. Asset tags graphics and bar codes are photographically imaged below the surface, creating an impenetrable barrier to chemicals, solvents, and salts, and these asset labels can survive in temperatures up to 650° F.

The highly visible silver-colored face stock makes graphics easy to read. Foil also fractures if removed from its mating surface, which provides tamper-evident features in a long lasting durable finish. Foil asset tags work well in indoor or outdoor applications, including industrial uses. Foil property ID tags have excellent resistance to scuffing, cleaning solvents, most chemicals, and heat. Service range is -40°F to +400°F. Outdoor exposure is up to 20 years.
