What are Security Labels?

Security Labels are a type of sticker that can be attached to your business equipment and fixed assets to deter the chance of them being lost or stolen by clearly identifying the items as your property.

The security label usually attaches via very adhesive glue on the back of a laminated piece of plastic or metal, engraved on which are your company details.

Recommended security

The UK’s Home Office recommends the use of these labels, with identifiable information such as company name and postal code clearly visible.

Many businesses now use millions of Security Labels and plates to protect items such as laptops, mobile phones, printers and even larger factory equipment. The idea behind security labels is that once stuck onto an object, it is incredibly difficult, or even impossible to remove the label without damaging the object onto which it is stuck. This helps to deter would-be-thieves from stealing these possessions, although it is obviously not a definite prevention.

Having these Security Labels on your property also means that if any of your items did by any chance happen to go missing, with a Post Code and Company Name marked clearly on them, they can be quickly identified as your property and returned.

Finding the right labels for you

Depending on the type of property that you are trying to mark, Security Labels come in different classes. Some are very simple, small stickers which a company name, logo and contact number can be printed on. Then, you can get larger stickers for property that is bigger. These are generally much stickier to prevent someone getting purchase on them and ripping them off.

At the high end of the security label market, it is possible to acquire Ultra Destructible labels, which, if tampered with will break into smaller pieces every time, making it impossible to remove them. Alternatively, you can buy metal plates which can be melted on to certain surfaces with a special super-glue. These can only be removed with specialist tools which are likely to damage the product they are on anyway.

When you buy a set of security labels, they usually come in a bulk buy purchase, where you purchase at least a couple of hundred labels. The price per label then decreases if you order more and more. For more details on types of security labels and pricing visit ID Asset Labels.

Protecting Irreplaceable Memories with Camera Security Labels

They say a picture speaks a thousand words, capturing unforgettable moments and life changing events. From snap shots of your far away adventures or family occasions to that first picture of your little prince or princess as they are brought into the world, the photo albums are sure to be bulging with moments set in time for all to admire. Owning a camera offers you the opportunity to make a lifetime of memories that many will always cherish.

Choosing the right camera for you can be a big decision. Whether you’re looking for the best zoom capabilities to capture those all important moments or a specific design style.  With options to buy a more professional camera with different lens detachments or family friendly and easily stored pocket cameras there are now so many different ways to record your memories. With the regeneration of traditional polaroid cameras and vintage styles – the options to snap those special events are now even greater.

One thing to always this about is security. Keeping those memories safe is just as important as having a high quality camera. You should protect your camera not only because of the value of its value but, more importantly, because of the value of the pictures stored within – some of which are simply irreplaceable. One way which this can be done is with camera security labels that can be attached to your photographic equipment.

Camera security labels can be designed specifically for you with your details inscribed including name and contact number. If lost, your camera’s security label may help it to find its way back to you. These labels are usually self-adhesive and can withstand high temperatures. As well as this they also act as an excellent deterrent against wandering hands as the labels cannot be removed cleanly if tampered with. The labels can also come in a variety of sizes from as small as 9mm making them a discreet yet desirable addition to any of your camera equipment. Using camera security labels can protect those important photographic memories from being lost forever.

If something can be lost then it will be lost.

If there is one unchallenged fact about school life it is that each year many students will misplace equipment and possessions.

A recent survey confirmed that around 80% of school students lose at least one valuable item a year. This is a serious problem when it is something as valuable as a tablet or other IT device, then matters become a lot more serious.

Match this up with the fact that in recent years tablet ownership among school students have more than quadrupled.

This is a worrying sign, students losing valuable items means that schools and parents are having to fork out for replacements more often than they would prefer.

The most common cause of a 'lost' device is not just theft, in face only a tiny minority are actually stolen. These 'lost' devices are often left somewhere and forgotten. 

The majority of schools are getting clever about this and marking all their portable IT equipment with labels. This is where our ID Silver Mark labels can help, they are precision cut stencils which can include your school name and any contact information that you require. These labels are then painted with UV ink to show up should the label be removed, more information on these labels can be found at www.idmark.com.

Alternatively for smaller portable items, our ID Mini Mark Labels can help to identify and track each item. Due to their size they are suitable for all small electronic equipment including microphones, earphones as well as cables, cameras and similar equipment. Each ID Mini Mark Label can incorporate a serial number and/or bar code thus making it possible to include a lot of data in a small space. Should anybody attempt to remove the asset label or switch the label onto some other equipment, the material will break into small pieces, thus announcing the fact that the label has been tampered with. Furthermore, because the data is engraved into the surface of the label it cannot be removed with chemicals and cleaning materials. The Mini Mark labels can be provided with white text on black or silver material with black text. There is more information on our website -www.idassetlabels.co.uk.

Pot pal?

Asking a member of staff if they currently has a specific company “pot pal” is likely to result in something of a blank look.  The problem is that even if you reverse “pot pal” and instead ask them if they have a specific laptop the look is likely to be the same.

In short, what you are looking for doesn’t matter.  If it is missing, denial of all knowledge is the standard response.

The rule is simple: if a laptop goes missing, it is as if it never existed.  Pot pal and laptop may be opposites in spelling but once they have gone, you can be sure no one remembers the item at all. 

As one manager said,

“No one wants to admit that they have taken a couple of laptops and not returned them. So what happens is that they sneak the equipment back into store without admitting it was them – which means we are searching for things that have already been returned.”

This is why more and more business managers are introducing asset tracking. It saves time and money and leads to better utilisation of assets because you are able to better track maintenance and service records as well as other valuable information.


By including a barcode on the asset tag or label, you can easily keep track of all your business assets. And at times when you need to send your assets out of your business premises for repair or other purpose, your asset labels differentiate your assets from other similar assets.

Asset tracking allows a company to track what assets it owns, where each is located, who has it, when it was checked out, when it is due for return, when it is scheduled for maintenance, and the cost and depreciation of each asset.

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.
