What are plastic asset tags?
Plastic asset tags are identification labels that can be attached to both movable and fixed assets. They are designed to last the entire life of the item so the asset can be identified, and its availability, usage or life span can be easily tracked. Plastic or polymer tags come in a variety of sizes and designs to fit your application. Different adhesives, branding elements and materials are used to create custom asset tags for specific projects.
What are barcode labels?
There are two main types of barcodes: linear barcodes and 2D barcodes (such as DataMatrix or QR codes). Linear barcodes hold one piece of information-- normally a number that is used to identify, tag or track a product or asset. Linear, or traditional barcodes, can help businesses or retailers associate price, inventory levels and product returns. 2D barcodes are designed to hold significantly more data than standard barcode stickers. 2D barcodes can include multiple pieces of data including the price and quantity but also extra identify information like photos or links to websites for additional information. To understand how to select a symbology for a linear barcode, read more.
What is subsurface printing?
Subsurface printing is a unique process that protects the barcode/numbers and designs from chemicals, cleaning, abrasion and temperatures by reverse printing on the underside of the materials. That allows the image to be “right-read” once applied to the mounting surface. Subsurface printing doesn’t require a laminate, eliminating costs and the potential for delamination that comes with surface printing.
