What is an asset label?
An asset label is a security tag designed to identify, track, and manage organizational assets. It typically includes the company name, asset ID, and a barcode or QR code, helping prevent theft or unauthorized movement. Materials include reflective (for low light), destructible (that crumble when tampered with), and VOID films (that leave a security message). These labels use strong adhesives and fragment or leave residue if removal is attempted. Production involves professional design, high-quality printing, and precision cutting. They’re used in offices, tech firms, hospitals, and factories. Research shows such labels can reduce asset-management errors by up to 30% and improve efficiency.

Types of asset labels
Asset labels are produced in various types to meet different organizational needs. Choice of material, colors, and security features depends on the use case and environment.
Reflective labels for low-light visibility, destructible labels for higher security, and VOID labels that reveal a security message are common. This variety suits many industries. Popular types include:
- Silver reflective label for high readability
- Colored reflective label (yellow, blue, red, green)
- Destructible (crumbly) label for maximum security
- VOID-transfer label that leaves a message
- Non-transfer VOID label
- Permanent-adhesive label for fixed mounting
- Label with custom barcode or QR code
- Single-color label for lower cost
- Full-color label for stronger branding
- Label with protective overlaminate
- Thick label for uneven surfaces
- Thin label for small devices
- Security-printed anti-counterfeit label
- Label for sensitive assets like servers
How asset labels differ from other labels
Compared with paper, clear, PVC, and hologram labels, asset labels have unique features. Paper is inexpensive but vulnerable to moisture and tampering. Clear labels offer high transparency but lack the security needed for asset tracking.
PVC labels are flexible and durable but are usually used for simpler security applications. Holographic labels provide advanced security with 3D effects but come at a higher cost. Asset labels focus on security and tracking, making them a cost-effective, efficient option. The table below compares them:
| Feature | Asset label | Paper labels | Clear label | PVC label | Holographic labels |
|---|
| Security | High | Low | Low | Moderate | Very high |
| Tamper-fracture | High | Low | Moderate | Moderate | High |
| Moisture resistance | High | Low | High | High | High |
| Cost | Moderate | Low | Moderate | Moderate | High |
| Primary application | Asset tracking | Dry environments | Clear packaging | Industrial | Advanced security |
Why use asset labels?
Asset labels are essential for organizations that need precise asset management. With security features like tamper-fracture and VOID messaging, they prevent unauthorized removal and theft. They’re suitable for movable assets (like laptops) and fixed assets (like machinery).
Using barcodes and QR codes makes digital tracking easier and integrates with asset-management software. Research shows asset labels can reduce audit errors by up to 30% and minimize losses from missing items. In Iran, demand is growing across public and private sectors as the need for asset management increases.
New technologies in asset label production
New methods like variable-data digital printing enable unique codes on each asset label—ideal for large organizations that need many labels with different information.
Advanced materials such as high-resistance polymers and UV inks boost durability against moisture and light. Some labels integrate RFID for contactless tracking—perfect for sensitive assets. These innovations make asset management more accurate and efficient.
Asset label pricing
Costs depend on size, quantity, material (reflective, brittle, VOID), print method, and added security features. Digital printing is more economical for short runs, while offset is better for high volumes. For an exact quote, please contact us.02133114363or visitwww.naminaghsh.comor visit us.

The importance of asset labels across industries
Organizational asset management
Asset labels are used in large and small organizations—including government offices, private companies, and universities—for tracking assets. With barcodes and QR codes, they enable fast scanning and accurate record-keeping.
For example, reflective labels on servers and laptops in tech companies speed up identification. Research indicates that using asset labels can cut losses from missing equipment by up to 25%.
Security and theft prevention
With features like tamper-fracture and VOID messaging, asset labels deter unauthorized removal and theft. Attempts to peel the label leave visible damage or a VOID pattern, indicating tampering.
In Iran, hospitals and sensitive institutions use these labels to secure high-value equipment—building trust and a professional image.
Industrial applications
In industrial environments, asset labels tag machinery, tools, and parts. Resistance to moisture, dust, and chemicals makes them ideal for factories and workshops.
For instance, in automotive manufacturing, brittle labels applied to parts help prevent counterfeiting and theft. Precise barcode printing improves traceability.
Asset management in education
Schools and universities use asset labels to identify lab equipment, library items, and office assets. High durability and variable printing make management easier.
For example, VOID labels on scientific instruments in university labs prevent unauthorized relocation and help maintain order and efficiency.
Designing asset labels
Design should focus on legibility, security, and usability. Use simple, large fonts for key data such as asset codes and barcodes. Software likeAdobe Illustratoris ideal for creating precise, professional layouts.
Choose high-contrast colors (e.g., white on black or yellow on silver) and tamper-evident materials like brittle vinyl or VOID. Include bleed and verify a digital test print to ensure quality. Designs should follow readability and scan-ability standards.
Asset labels: the key to efficient asset management
With strong security features and durability, asset labels offer an efficient solution for managing property. Using recyclable materials like PVC also supports environmental goals. Research shows accurate asset management with labels can boost organizational productivity by up to 30%.
In Iran, as asset management needs grow in both public and private sectors, asset labels have become essential for maintaining order and security.
