QR barcode labels put a scannable, phone-readable identifier on every item in an asset register, which is why they have largely replaced linear barcodes on new asset-tagging projects. Specifying a custom run means settling four things: what the code encodes, how big the code has to be to read reliably, what face stock it prints on, and how the codes...

A label that looks fine on the purchase order peels off a Chromebook lid by October, smears under a disinfectant wipe, or wears illegible after a term...

Each asset tag has a unique serial number with or without a bar code used to identify a physical, tangible asset. Using bar codes however save a lot of time. They speed up the...
