Home » Metal Asset Tags » Barcode Metal Asset Tags

Barcode metal asset tags carry a 1D linear code built to work with the handheld and fixed-mount scanners already running in most warehouses and asset systems. Himgo engraves these to the bar widths your scanner fleet expects, so nothing changes on the reader side.

  • 1D linear barcode, Code128/Code39 style
  • Aluminum, stainless, or brass
  • 25x25mm to 75x25mm, or custom
  • MOQ 100–500 pcs
  • Sample lead 5–7 days

Choose barcode over QR when your warehouse management system or ERP already reads 1D codes through dedicated handheld or fixed scanners.

Typical buyers & uses

  • Warehouses on an existing WMS — tracking pallets and equipment through barcode-based workflows.
  • IT asset teams — whose current scanner fleet reads 1D codes only, not QR.
  • Manufacturing plants — tagging tools for barcode-linked maintenance scheduling.
  • Government and institutional asset registers — standardized on a single barcode symbology across sites.

FAQ

Which barcode symbology do you support?

Code128 and Code39 are the most common; tell us your scanner’s requirement and we match it.

Will these tags work with our existing scanner fleet?

Yes, barcode tags are engraved to standard bar-width specs so existing handheld or fixed scanners read them without changes.

Can numbers continue our current barcode range?

Yes, send your current numbering range and we continue the sequence on the new tags.

When should we pick barcode instead of QR?

Pick barcode when your site already scans 1D codes with dedicated readers; pick QR if staff scan with phones instead.

Do barcode tags read reliably in direct sunlight?

Matte finish and engraved contrast are chosen to keep bars readable under bright warehouse or outdoor lighting.
