Labels inform. They instruct. They warn us away from danger. They entice us to try new things. For a label to do its job, it needs to not only look good, but also perform.

You will get efficient and thoughtful service from Jiamei Labels.

Many people don&#;t realize that creating a label is not as simple as choosing a design and printing it on a sticky-backed paper. It has to be done with thought and care. Why? Because the label can be an integral part of the end-user&#;s experience of a product.

The right label adheres perfectly, lasts as long as you need, and looks exactly the way you want. The wrong label falls off, wears out, or looks terrible &#; costing you time, money, and reputation.

A lot goes into getting the right label &#; there are variables you may not know to consider, or that might not be addressed if you rely on the wrong printing service provider.

That&#;s why we&#;ve put together this buying guide. By the time you&#;ve finished reading, you&#;ll know:

• Factors your printer should consider before making your labels and why those factors matter
• What information your printer may need from you before they can develop a quote
• Questions you&#;ll get that will immediately let you know you&#;re dealing with a partner who&#;s experienced and skilled

Don&#;t worry &#; you don&#;t have to be an expert in labels to get the right label for your needs. This guide simply aims to provide a better understanding of the process, so that when the time comes for you to order, you&#;ll be 100% confident in your label and in the people making it for you.

Asset Tag Buyer's Guide

What Are Asset Tags? A Complete Guide

In our at-home lives, we take steps to track, protect and maintain our many assets. Food gets replenished and refrigerated, cars get oil changes on time, and doors stay locked to prevent theft. We know what we own, where things are and how to get the most value out of them &#; generally, with a lot of intuition and just a little help. But when it comes to asset management on the job, your facilities, products and property require more. Possibly because you shouldn&#;t do it alone &#; but probably because you can&#;t. Assets can be too valuable, too numerous, or both.

That&#;s where the power of asset tags comes in. Asset labels are one of the most critical components of an asset management system. They&#;re the front line of identification and the key to unlocking critical information you need to enable better decision-making.

Asset tagging 101: what are asset tags?

Asset tags are physical identifiers, often a label, affixed to an asset that are used to identify, track and maintain &#; sometimes one of those; sometimes a combination. Asset labels can contain a unique identifier or code, such as a barcode, QR code or RFID tag. These can be read by different types of scanning devices to quickly retrieve a wide range of information about the asset, such as:

• Location
• Manufacturing status
• Purchase date
• Serial number
• Scheduled maintenance
• Repair history

Asset labels are extremely useful for organizations, especially in large or complex environments such as offices, warehouses, hospitals or manufacturing facilities. By using asset tags, organizations can improve their inventory management, reduce loss and theft thanks to tamper-evident features, and streamline their maintenance and repair-or-replace decisions.
