Definition of Asset Tags

Asset tags are labels. Made from metal, polyester or plastic, they can have unique barcodes and can be customized with your company logo or just your company information. They are durable, weatherproof, and can be made to prevent clean removal so that no one can take a tag off one piece of equipment and put it on another. On each tag, a number and/or barcode is printed. When the asset tag is read by an individual or barcode scanner, the stored information can be retrieved or new data can be recorded. Properly used, asset tags can help prevent employee theft, can simplify equipment records and processes, and can make it very easy to file a claim with your insurance company, should something happen at your business. Your bank may even require them to verify your assets for loan purposes.
