Barcode Asset Labels

Scannable, serialized, sealed. 1D and 2D codes that survive the asset.

A barcode is only as useful as the day you can still scan it. We thermal-transfer or full-color digital print barcodes underneath an overlaminate so the code survives sunlight, solvent, scanner glass, and time. Code 39 and Code 128 are the standard for asset management. We also produce GS1-compliant labels, UPC-A and UPC-E retail codes, and dense 2D codes like Data Matrix and PDF417 for serialized assets with limited surface area.

Best for

  • Fixed-asset inventory
  • Tool and equipment tracking
  • Returnable container tracking
  • Sequential serialization

Recommended tier

Stronger tier (8 mil Laminated VINYL) is the right specification for this format and most environments.

Barcode asset labels FAQ

Can I supply my own barcode numbers?

Yes. Send a spreadsheet of values, prefixes, or ranges and we print exactly what you specify. There is no setup fee for variable data.

Will the barcode read through dirt or scratches?

1D codes degrade quickly under abrasion. 2D codes like Data Matrix include error correction that can read through partial damage. For high-abrasion assets, we recommend a 2D code on Strongest-tier construction.

Stop replacing labels. Start trusting them.

Send us a photo of where the tag has to live. We ship free samples in the format and size you'd use. No setup fees, low minimums, no obligation.
