Diverse Applications
Our custom metal asset tags are versatile and suited for a wide range of uses, including for the following.
Metal Barcode Tags
Integrating barcode systems with asset tags is one of the most effective methods for asset tracking available, streamlining inventory management and simplifying asset monitoring.
Depending on your company’s needs, you can choose UPC barcodes or QR codes. The latter can store detailed information such as equipment names, serial numbers, maintenance schedules and warranties.
We produce metal barcode labels that are compatible with any inventory control system your organization uses. Paired with asset tracking software, our metal barcode asset tags help ensure easy access to essential data via smartphones or barcode scanners.
Numbered Tags
While barcode scanning systems are widely used and helpful for many industries, they’re not necessarily the right fit for every organization. If you prefer to keep things simple with basic metal signage or don’t see the need to invest in barcode technology, we offer another, more straightforward solution.
Serialized tags are an excellent choice for tracking and managing tools, equipment and other large-scale assets, especially in rugged environments. Due to their reliability and versatility, these permanent asset tags are popular among our customers. They can be used to track inspections, maintenance, and inventory without requiring advanced scanning systems.
Inventory Management
Many organizations need to monitor inventory levels, which may involve tracking stock or using automated reordering systems when quantities run low. Using a scanning system makes the inventory control process considerably easier.
Custom asset tags integrated with barcodes or QR code systems enable automated inventory management, reducing errors and improving productivity. These solutions help track stock levels, simplify audits, and ensure accurate valuations.
Theft Prevention
Labeling tools and equipment with custom asset tags marked with “Property of…” or unique identifiers deters theft, tampering, and misuse. Including contact information on these tags also helps you recover assets accidentally stored elsewhere or otherwise misplaced, making them especially valuable for shared job sites.

Our Asset Tag Manufacturing Processes
Your asset tags are customized using the following methods:
This process embeds designs beneath the surface of anodized aluminum, protecting them from wear, chemicals, and UV exposure. The method produces durable tags that can last more than 20 years outdoors.
This method creates raised characters on the tag surface, making each asset tag easy to read while providing a tactile experience. Embossing is ideal for serialized tags used in environments with heavy handling or exposure to abrasives.
Printing produces vibrant, full-color designs that stand out for branding or identification purposes. While less durable than photo anodization, digital and screen-printing work well for indoor or short-term applications.
