Permanent or void, which do you need?

Much will depend upon the equipment the asset label is to be used on, but most companies will have a use for one or both of them.

Permanent asset labels are designed to be fixed to the particular piece of apparatus and not removed. The adhesive used forms a super strong bond with most surfaces it comes into contact with, and providing to is left for a period or four hours after fixing, the glue will have set and will be virtually impossible to remove, that is without causing damage. By using vinyl instead of paper for this asset label it will be considerably stronger, permanent in fact.

The necessity of durable labels

Putting a label onto a product is there for a definite purpose, it informs a person what is in the container, so it is pointless if it is going to fall off when faced with certain conditions such as varying temperatures or water for example.

A bottle of shampoo is very likely to be in contact with water and food may well be stored in a freezer, for example, these products will have to have labels that will withstand these conditions, stay firmly attached to the item and be readable.

Read the label

Particularly important where chemicals are concerned, it is not just scientists that use chemicals; most people use them daily, either at work or at home. Cleaning products such as bleach and oven sprays are chemical and so are paints, inks, glues and oils.

With the use of the correct asset tags, inventory management can be made very easy, businesses and commercial establishments, particularly the retail sector, use asset tags as a matter of routine because in these sectors many items often need to be tracked closely.

Barcodes their uses, durability and printing

The type of material and printing of a barcode will depend upon a number of factors and is largely dependent upon where the item that the barcode is used for is stored, how it is likely to be used and the method of transportation. Examples would be a durable barcode that can resist corrosion, heat, cold, UV light and solvents. They might be listed as warehouse barcode labels, industrial use barcode labels and polyester barcode labels. Of course the durability of the barcode label is not restricted to the kind of material it is printed on. For example, thermally printed labels are scratch-resistant and more durable than some ordinary labels; we have different types of high quality labels that are now available to suit different needs.

Longevity is not the only advantage of vinyl stickers

By using a vinyl sticker to advertise your company, event or project you can be sure that, unlike a paper poster, they will always look smart, clean and a credit to your company or club. Vinyl stickers are seen and used for a variety of advertising purposes, normally seen on the inside of cars, but also on boats and shop windows, inside or outside it does not matter. Naturally the vinyl sticker can be used over and over again and will always present a clean and smart appearance.

Securing valuables assets with barcode labels

Ensuring that your valuable business assets are securely marked is a vital part of any well-run business, particularly when you consider that in some cases the value of these assets can amount to many thousands of pounds.

These security labels can be made from a wide range of different materials; also they are usually supplied with a powerful adhesive backing which makes them easier to be applied on any surface, but very difficult to remove. Using these specialist materials and adhesive ensures that should anyone try to remove the label, the barcode labels will break into smaller pieces to show that tampering has occurred.
