Inventory stickers

Does anyone here use inventory stickers?

I haven't even opened google yet (I will right after this post), but I thought I'd inquire if anyone is using one they like?

My boss really wants to see all computers have an asset tag on them and be inventoried.

I would prefer something with a barcode, and I'll get a cheap barcode scanner for my office.

These tags need to be those nearly impossible to remove type.

Go with a QR code instead of a barcode. Lots of mobile device scanning options then.

QR codes are definitely the way to go. NTG used to do barcoded inventory systems commerically for hospitals. Still do technically, we've been building and running those systems for a long time.

You can get metal "tear apart" inventory stickers pretty easily that are super hard to remove.

With QR codes you can scan with phones and such, instead of needing a bar code scanner which is annoying to have to interface with, program, keep handy, etc.

We have ones with barcodes and numbers.
When you have to take one off, for asset disposals, it's fairly difficult to remove and it leaves the word VOID behind

We are using the IDAutomation_BarcodeLabelSoftware application
Just supply the serial number then good to go

There are some really great options for permanent property tags. (They literally melt their way onto the device with a super adhesive.

Like "Warning this property is tracked with tracking software" etc.

I'd imagine you can custom order them with custom information such as an asset number or contact if found information.

But they aren't cheap. 100 tags for $100 or more depending on what you want on the tags. Here's just one site from google http://www.myassettag.com/

Thanks - I was hoping for an actual recommendation though.

Avery, if you want simple and cheap.

lol - yeah I'd like something a bit nicer than that.

Thanks for a direct recommendation though

If the asset breaks while applying the tag, well, it wasn't worth it
