Asset labels can be used to mark equipments like computers, furniture, machinery and various other tools and assets. Asset labels come with an adhesive material on the reverse so its easy to attach them on the tool or equipment which they will identify on attachment. You can also find asset labels with a barcode printed on them.

There are different types of tags/labels to suit different requirements. Each label or tag has some special feature that makes it different from others. So before you purchase an asset label, identify your asset tagging requirement. You must also understand why you need an asset label - is it for security or to properly manage your equipments. Based on this you should decide the type of asset tag you need as there are many kinds of asset tags and labels available in the market.
