Metal Asset Barcode Plates
A flat barcode plate sized for a fixed spot on equipment, with room for a printed asset number alongside the code.
Description
Fixed-asset registers work well when every plate carries a scannable code in a fixed, predictable spot on the equipment. A barcode plate is built for that: a flat metal plate holding one barcode plus room for a model or asset number printed alongside it. Aluminum and stainless are both used, chosen by exposure and how long the plate stays attached.
Where it fits
- Equipment registers across a fleet of similar machines
- IT inventory needing a fixed mount location
- Programs pairing a barcode with a printed asset number
Screen printing or etching adds the number without a second label.
Common sizes
75x25mm and 40x15mm are standard, sized to keep barcode bars wide enough for a reliable one-pass scan. Larger plates fit more printed text next to the code. Custom dimensions follow a drawing.
Materials & finishes
Aluminum suits indoor equipment and lighter-duty registers; stainless holds up outdoors or under frequent handling. Matte or brushed finish keeps glare down under warehouse or shop-floor lighting.
