There are a few different types of asset labels that companies can use to keep a track and check on their assets. Keeping a track of your assets can stop the costs associated with replacing lost items and can also go some way to prevent theft.
Standard barcode labels
A barcode is a readable image, made up of thin black lines of different thicknesses separated by spaces of different thicknesses. A barcode reader can read this information and can then download it to a central database, which is subsequently updated with the new information. Barcodes can also be printed on stickers and then these stickers affixed on your stock items.
Custom barcode labels
Barcode labels can be customised, adding to their many different types of use. A label can have a logo or a company name added to it, which can really help with brand recall. These labels are perfect for third party companies, whose job is to affix items with aftermarket barcode labels.
There are many different types of barcode labels available which can be used in a variety of environments. From labels which simply stick onto a product, to labels which are made of vinyl or aluminium which are extremely durable.
