Working great with our accountability system!
These labels are GREAT !!! Durable and easy to apply. Also the colors are easy to read.
Theft can be a very serious problem. I put these on things like computers ,hard drives and other such items. They can be especially useful for putting on tools, especially in a place on the tool where they're not to be easily noticed.I have two of them in a hard to find place on one of my generators. If it gets stolen it's not likely a thief will see them or find them but the police will after I tell them where the stickers are. The same goes for my chainsaw, safety helmets, and anything thieves are likely to walk off with.This was inspired by the theft of five chainsaws from a neighbor. He often hired a contractor to come and do work on his property. While he knew the contractor he never really knew who was working for the contractor. This is not too impugn the reputation of the contractor or workers, but certainly someone had to talk to someone else and made the comment about where they could find five chainsaws in a poorly secured shed. Sure enough he went out there one morning and all five of them were gone gone. It was about $3,500 worth of chainsaws and a couple of weed whackers.The glue on these things will create a real problem for scratching them off to the point where it will be obvious that they're sticker wizard originally there and now there's a blank area. If you've ever had things stolen I can assure you these will give you a certain peace of mind. Too often police come across a cach of stolen goods and these stickers will create proof that your items were stolen.Create a log winking the number on the tag with the item. On your computer you can even create pictures of the item.
Quality is good.
These are very good for our use. These asset tags are durable and look good, too. We've ordered them twice so far. When we run low, we'll order some more!
I made the mistake of only getting 100 and currently regretting not springing for the 500. I have them on everything (I am a contractor with lots of tools). Really, I have them on my thermos, ear bud's holder, every one of my batteries and chargers. These things are very much the same as those little stickers you have to put on your vehicle plates that you only get one shot at correct placement. Worth the expense!!!
Great quality.
