We will discuss two categories of asset labels; ‘permanent vinyl labels’ and ‘silver void labels’
Permanent vinyl asset labels
Most applications use this kind of label. These labels are of a better quality than the paper versions. The adhesive used forms a super strong bond with most surfaces it comes into contact with, provided the surface is clean. Maximum strength is obtained when the label is left on for more than four hours. The glue hardens and the label is impossible to remove without damaging it.
These labels are extensively used in offices, schools and IT companies. These labels are used for marking workstations and other computer items such as keyboards, monitors, hard drives and mobile equipment. It can be a bit tricky to stick regular labels onto the plastic used on computers, but ‘permanent vinyl asset labels’ can solve that problem. These labels can also be used on smooth and non-sticky surfaces. These labels can be personalised and you can also have your logo printed on them. Nowadays, there is also the option of a holographic label for added protection.
Silver ‘void’ asset label
A silver ‘void’ label is used in scenarios where you need to know that the seal was tampered with. This label uses a two-stage glue. If a person tries to remove this label, the words “VOID” will appear on the surface upon which it is glued.
This type of label is used on IT equipment, medicine boxes, music systems and PDA’s.
