QR codes only. Your logo stays on your device.

Printing

In the print dialog choose 100% / “Actual size” and turn off headers and footers. Print a test page on plain paper and hold it against a label sheet first.

Your code

Make a numbered series

  1. Open “…or make a numbered series” above and set the prefix (for example ASSET- or IT-), the first number, how many labels you need and the number of digits (4 gives 0001).
  2. Optionally add a description using {n} for the number, such as Laptop {n}, and press Make series.
  3. In the options, open Printing, choose your label sheet and print. Do one test page on plain paper first.

Already have a list?

If your assets are listed in a spreadsheet, export it as CSV with the columns value, description and drop it on the batch tab instead. The description, such as the item name or room, is printed under each code.

Good practice for asset labels

  • Keep the numbers short and never reuse a number, even when an item is retired.
  • Put the label in the same place on similar items, so they are quick to scan.
  • Keep the master list with the same numbers in your spreadsheet or inventory system.

Frequently asked questions

Which code type is best for asset tags?

Code 128 is the usual choice for 1D barcodes: it is compact, holds letters and digits, and every barcode scanner reads it. Choose QR code if people will scan the tags with phones, or if you want to link each tag to a page.

Which label sheets are supported?

Common Avery A4 sheets (L7160, L7159, L7163, L7162, L7173, L7165, L7651) and US Letter sheets (5160, 5163, 5164, 5167), plus plain paper. Compatible sheets from other brands with the same layout work too.

Can I continue numbering later?

Yes. Set the first number to where you stopped last time (for example 251) and make the next batch. Use “Start at label no.” to fill up a part-used sheet.

Are these labels durable?

That depends on the label material. For equipment that gets handled a lot, use polyester or laminated labels and print with a laser printer.
