Serialized QR Code Metal Asset Tags
A QR tag paired with its own printed serial number, so each asset stays uniquely identified with or without a scanner. Sequence and count confirmed before production.
Description
An audit team scanning a warehouse floor needs every tag to carry its own number, not a repeated code. A serialized QR tag pairs a unique QR pattern with a printed or engraved serial number on the same face, so a person can confirm the match without a scanner in hand.
Where it fits
- Fixed-asset tracking with a one-to-one match to records
- Audit and compliance rounds without a scanner handy
- Maintenance logs referenced by serial number on a work order
- Warehouses with similar assets sitting side by side
Common sizes
25x25mm and 30mm round are usual, sized to keep both the QR module and the number legible. 50x20mm suits a longer number string. Sizes cut to a drawing on request.
Materials & finishes
Aluminum keeps the run light for IT and office equipment; stainless suits harsher conditions. Anodized, matte, or brushed finish is available. The starting number, count, and format are confirmed before the laser file is generated, so numbering stays in order.
