What are asset tags?

Asset tags (or labels) are widely used across businesses, hospitals and organisations of all sizes to track and manage essential assets – both fixed and portable – as they move within and beyond your premises.

Asset labelling helps you identify and safeguard your assets, reducing the risk of theft and accidental loss.

When critical tools and equipment are taken off-site, you need durable labels that can withstand harsh conditions. That’s why we offer reinforced asset tags with either a protective polycarbonate face or made from aluminium, designed to endure tough environments. Ideal for hand tools and heavy-use field equipment, these are our most rugged asset tags.

Why do I need asset tags?

Some people look at asset tags as a grudge purchase or bureaucratic nonsense, to keep management or governors’ happy, however, the importance of these is more significant than would initially appear.

There is a financial impact of equipment being misplaced or stolen, however, the more sinister after-effects are loss or distribution of confidential personal data and business records.

Having a poorly implemented, or even worse, an absent asset register is no excuse and allowing your equipment to be floating around without a unique identifier or where encryption has not been deployed, is a recipe for disaster.

Repercussions of this mismanagement can result in disciplinary or legal action, hefty fines, prosecution and have been known to result in a criminal record. This is especially true with entities such as government bodies, ICT in schools and education institutes along with corporations and businesses.

The cost of an asset label is marginal compared to what you are protecting, so why risk it?

Benefits of using Seareach® labels and tags

1. Inventory control and auditing

Our labels, tied in with a well-kept asset management register, play an important role in assisting with control over where equipment is located. This can include checking warranty statuses, expiration of service contracts, records of disposed of equipment, whether the equipment has been lent or borrowed, and an instant figure on your current exposure or value, should an audit be required.

2. Asset labels act as a deterrent and can help prevent theft

Having these labels not only helps with visual identification, but also deters thieves. If you were a thief and saw two identical laptops on a desk, one with a fixed asset label on it and another without, you would be instantly attracted to the one without. You may think that if someone had made the effort to mark their assets, they’ve probably implemented other software method to protect their laptop – such as encryption and/or other electronic protection measures; Conversely, the unmarked laptop appears to be an easier target and may not even have a password on it.

3. Prevent tampering of components

Strategic placement of asset stickers can allow you to protect important areas of a computer, portable devices, networking or server equipment. For instance, the label could straddle a seam where the laptop battery meets the casing, therefore providing instant notification of attempted removal. This can also work with memory compartment covers, slots and screw holes. If you choose a void label, this leaves the word ‘VOID’ where the label has been lifted or removed and once replaced, still indicates evidence of tampering. The addition of asset stickers, quickly reduces the instances of swapping or removing memory modules and ancillary devices, without the IT department knowing.

4. Making police aware of the owner

People who purchase our asset number labels normally include addresses or telephone numbers on their design. You may find that the top line would say ‘Property of’ and then a company name, followed by a barcode, a number and then a postcode and/or telephone number. This is especially helpful should a lost item be returned to a lost property office or handed into the local police station. Fact: There are thousands of pieces of IT equipment that get handed into lost and found, that never get reunited with their owner and end up being found at a police auction.

5. Marking outdoor equipment

We have many clients that order our outdoor durable asset tags to identify and mark external units – such as air conditioning condensers, CCTV cameras, electronic cabinets, vehicles and ambulances, marine environment, outdoor digital signage and many more. If you have a particular application, we’d be pleased to hear from you, as we love a challenge!
 

Insurance benefits from using identification labels

Insurance for IT equipment is essential, however certain insurers require that you identify your assets with labels in order to be covered by their policies. Many insurance companies offer incentives and discounts if you asset tag all your equipment. Insurance companies are shrewd when it comes to paying out, they look for any excuse to avoid paying claims. When they recommend that you use our asset labels, this should make you realise that it actually results in less risk.
 

Tips for applying asset labels

It’s very important to make sure that the surface that you are applying the labels to is clean and free of any contaminants. One method of doing this is to use an alcohol wipe and a dry lint-free cloth. Open the alcohol wipe from the sachet and press quite firmly on the surface (whilst wiping) and check to make sure that no dirt or marks are left on the wipe. After you have completed this you need to make sure that you dry off any residue of the alcohol before applying the label with the absorbent cloth, as this can affect the strength of the adhesive.

Once the label has been applied and to increase bond, you can use a hand-held rubber roller to apply additional pressure to the face of the tag. This will help promote adhesive ‘activation’ and achieve the strongest bond over time, once cured. If you want to test the effectiveness of the adhesive, do not attempt to remove for at least an hour. Ideally, full strength is achieved after 24 to 72 hours.
