Where to put asset tags
- On a flat, clean surface that isn't gripped during use.
- Same spot on every item of the same type, so staff know where to look.
- Away from heat sources and moving parts on machinery.

What is an asset tag?
An asset tag is a label with a unique ID that you stick on equipment you own — tools, laptops, ladders, machines — so you can track who has it, where it is and when it was last serviced.
How should I number asset tags?
Use a short prefix plus a padded number, such as AST-0001 or TOOL-0042. Never reuse a number, even after an item is retired, so your history stays clean.
Are these asset tags free to use commercially?
Yes. Generate and print as many as you need for your business. No account is required and nothing is stored.
What labels last longest on tools?
Polyester or vinyl labels with a laminate layer hold up best against oil, water and abrasion. Paper labels are fine for office equipment.
Can customers scan a tag to request a repair?
With StockSimple's QR service tags (Business plan and above), a scan opens a page showing the equipment model, install date and warranty, with a call button and a repair request form that goes straight to you.
