Managing Musical Instruments on Loan

If you have musical instruments on loan you will be aware that keeping track of who has got which instrument can be a challenge. As these are valuable assets to replace its important to have clear details of who has which item so they can be easily located.

In addition any asset marking and tracking system you use needs to also act as a theft deterrent.

Quite often the problem that arises is one of identity. Which of the three clarinets are you holding?  How can you tell?

One way of solving this problem is by using asset identification Mini Mark labels.  These are ideal for labelling musical instruments as they offer a clear way to identify and track equipment safely. They are particularly hard wearing as the text won’t come off the asset label even with regular handling.

With Mini Mark labels the required information is engraved into the acrylate label material which gives a permanent high contrast, durable and tamper proof image, suitable for all environments.

These small asset labels stick easily to musical instruments using the high performance adhesive, which is suitable for almost all surfaces and will give high initial adhesion.

In this way the image cannot be ‘wiped off’ – for it is permanently engraved into the asset label.  Any attempt to tamper with the label is evident and indeed the label will fragment if removal is attempted.

Mini Mark labels can be provided with white text on black or silver material with black text.

When Portable Electronic Equipment Goes Missing

Electronic equipment is everywhere, from the whiteboard to the iPod and the laptop to the tablet.  Inevitably, with all this digital equipment around, items can and do go missing.

Mostly electronic equipment goes missing by mistake only a small proportion are actually stolen. Often items are simply left in the wrong location or not returned when they should be.

So how can you minimise and prevent all this equipment getting lost?

There is only one solution and that is to mark all valuable equipment in a secure way which also identifies the item and its place of origin – this will also acts as a theft deterrent.

However, this is not as simple as it seems. Tablets and laptops are invariably made of either aluminium or hard plastic with a cured paint to make the machine hard and scratchproof. As you can imagine putting identification marks on this type of equipment is difficult, because you simply can’t 'etch' anything into aluminium or hard plastic.

One way out of this dilemma is to use ID TRAKAPLATES which, because of the thickness and strong adhesive that they use, are near-impossible to remove.

An alternative approach is use ID Silver Mark labels. These labels are precision cut stencils which can include your details. The identification labels are then painted with UV ink to show up should the label be removed.
