Asset Tag Product
Aluminium Asset Tags
Aluminium asset tags are thin metal identification plates fixed to physical assets so that each item carries a permanent, readable identity. They are the format most organisations choose when a tag has to stay legible for years on equipment that is moved, cleaned, handled and audited.
Key benefits
Why organisations choose aluminium asset tags
Long-service identification
Aluminium holds its shape and finish far better than paper or plastic labels, so an asset number applied today remains readable through repeated handling and cleaning.
Professional appearance
A brushed metal tag reads as official. On institutional and corporate assets it signals that the item belongs to a controlled register rather than to an individual.
Structured numbering
Tags can be produced as a sequential run so every asset carries a unique number that maps directly to a line in your asset register.
Machine-readable options
The same tag can carry a human-readable number plus a barcode or QR code, so a tag works for both a visual audit and a scanned one.
Built to your specification
Size, shape, layout, text, logo placement and mounting method are set by your requirements rather than by a fixed catalogue item.
Suited to mixed asset bases
One consistent tag family can cover ICT equipment, furniture, laboratory instruments and machinery, which keeps an audit simple.

FAQs
Aluminium Asset Tags — questions
What are aluminium asset tags?
They are small aluminium plates or labels marked with identification information — typically an asset number, and often a barcode, QR code or organisation name — that are fixed to an asset so it can be identified consistently over its working life.
Are aluminium asset tags suitable for computers and laptops?
Yes. Smaller aluminium tags are commonly used on ICT equipment, where a compact tag with an asset number and barcode can be placed on a flat surface without interfering with vents, ports or screens.
Can aluminium asset tags carry a barcode?
Yes. A barcode can be included alongside the human-readable number so the same tag supports both visual checks and scanning.
Can the tags be numbered sequentially?
Yes. Sequential runs are standard, and numbers can include a prefix for department, site or asset category.
How are the tags fixed to assets?
Mounting depends on the asset. Adhesive backing suits smooth surfaces such as ICT casings and furniture, while rivet or screw holes suit machinery and outdoor or high-wear equipment. The mounting method is confirmed when the specification is agreed.
