If you find it hard to track the location, the quantity, the condition and the status of your fixed assets, then asset labels are the answer to your problems. They are a simple tool used for recording as well as identifying all your valuable business equipment. There are a wide variety of asset labels made from different materials and in various styles. Asset labels can also be personalised with your own logo. They are attached with the help of permanent adhesive. The use of asset labels goes hand in hand with the auditing of all your equipment just to be able to keep track of all your goods.
The printing of labels can be done on aluminium foils and polyester materials. These are very durable materials and can be attached to almost any surface. There are also some asset labels which leave a ‘void’ mark indicating that the label has been tampered with.

The tracking programme also keeps track of useful information such as date of purchase, repairs and maintenance.
