 It´s always a good idea to identify your company´s most valuable property with the appropriate asset tracking labels. Now, unless you´re truly obsessive and have a lot of time on your hands, you don´t want to bother with pens, pencils, and Post-It notepads; no, you want to focus on things like computer components and other electronics, desks, and the break room refrigerator. For these you'll need a unique fixed asset label for each item. Aside from providing a basic level of on-site security, asset tracking labels and other asset inventory labels are ideal for marking offsite property and field equipment. That way, you get your stuff back after every house call.
Ideally, a security tag should take the form of an asset bar code label, which you can quickly scan into an inventory system; but you can also use asset inventory labels that are serialized. Some tags use both methods. Remember the label that your computer maker asks you to find every time you call their help line? That´s a form of asset tag label that helps them keep track of the items they've sold. Whatever variety you use, your company´s name and a notice of ownership should be clearly indicated.
A good asset tag label should be made of a durable synthetic material that is resistant to moisture, heat, and solvents; obviously, plain paper just won't do. They should also be difficult to remove, leaving obvious marks on the item if someone tries to peel one off. The wide variety of assets tags that Etiquette Systems has to offer can meet all these requirements and more.
