Why standard labels matter

In asset management, a label isn't just a sticker—it's the digital twin's physical anchor. This tool enforces best practices that we've learned from tracking millions of dollars of equipment:

  • High Contrast Only: Aesthetics take a backseat to readability. Black on white is the gold standard for scanners.
  • Sufficient Quiet Zone: We enforce margins so scanners don't get confused by nearby text or bezel edges.
  • Human Readable Backup: Every label should have the ID printed in plain text for when technology fails.

Choosing the right size

Small (25mm)

Ideal for mobile devices, hand tools, and small peripherals. Can be tight for long Asset IDs.

Medium (40mm)

The industry standard. Perfect for laptops, monitors, furniture, and office equipment.

Large (60mm)

Max visibility. Use for flight cases, server racks, heavy machinery, or warehouse shelving.
