Marking or tagging one’s possessions is not a new fad. The need to provide product identification has however become more apparent as companies strive to find ways to reduce overheads and make their businesses more profitable.
A business can only be profitable and efficient if it has complete control over its assets. And if this means that each asset has to have a unique number or barcode attached then there needs to be a way of making this possible.
Stick-on asset tags are one of the simple ways you can mark or identify an item. The tag can contain a unique number, which can be referenced against a list of numbers in a database or a barcode can be used on the label, which can be read by a barcode scanner and the information processed.
If you are looking for a cheap way of marking the items you own, you’ll be glad to know that cheap asset labels are widely available. These usually take the format of adhesive paper labels, which come in a range of different sizes. Their ease of use and their cost-effectiveness makes cheap adhesive barcode labels everyone’s favourite choice.
