This article is meant to help you choose the right asset labels for your School, Office, Company, College, or University.
Asset Label Types
We have put asset labels into different groups and will talk about their strengths, where they work best, and how they can be used.
- Silver Voiding asset labels
- Permanent frangible vinyl asset labels
- Permanent Frangible Vinyl Asset Label
This label can be used for most things. The quality of these labels is much better than the paper labels, and they are more common in the field. The material for the label will stick to most surfaces and make a strong bond. This material has a good initial grip and will usually stick well to many surfaces after the first application (when clean). This label is at its strongest after 4 hours or more, when the glue on the label hardens and makes it impossible to peel off in one piece.
This can be used to label workstations, cases, monitors, and smaller things. Some asset labels can be hard to stick to the grain on the computer plastics, but the vinyl labels work very well for this purpose. The material is also good for surfaces that have been varnished or are smooth. Code 39 barcodes, serial numbers, and often the company logo can be added to these labels to make them unique. Some companies offer extra protection by putting a hologram label on their products to stop them from being copied. Vinyl labels are usually sent on reels, and most companies can get them back to you in 33 to 5 days. However, some companies can get them back to you in 24 hours or the next day.
These are great for hospitals, schools, IT departments, and offices because the glue gets very strong when it sets. This makes it hard for people or children to take the labels off in one piece.
This vinyl label material can be used for many different things, including:
PC & IT Equipment, Monitors and LCD displays, Laptop Computers, Keyboards, Mice, Mobile Equipment like PDAs, Networking Equipment, Fileservers, Hard Drives, Printed Circuit Boards, Painted Metal Surfaces, Wood, Plastics, Glass, Metals, Paper Surfaces, etc.
- Silver Voiding Asset Label
This substrate is mostly used to show if something has been tampered with. A two-stage adhesive is used to put the material together. The label will stick very well, and if you try to take it off, the words "VOID" will stay on both the label and the thing it is stuck to. Even if you try to replace the label by putting it back in the same place, it's still clear that someone messed with it.
This material is used in a lot of different ways, like:
Covering Memory and Expansion Covers on IT Equipment, Sealing Paper, Card, and Plastic Surfaces, Calibration Seals, Sealing Postage Bags, Medicine Boxes and Cartons, Electronic Enclosure Boxes, HiFi and Stereo Units, Computer Cases, Mobile Phones, PDAs, Sealing Doors, NHS and Medical Equipment, Oscilloscopes, etc.
