Asset tag

Tamper evident asset tag, destructible vinyl

Fragments if lifted, so a removed tag is obvious. Used where chain of custody matters.

What this is for

Fragments on any attempt to lift it, so a removed tag is visibly removed. Used where chain of custody matters more than durability - loaner equipment, evidence handling, controlled inventory. It cannot be repositioned, so mark the placement before applying.

In service

Used where removal must leave evidence - leased equipment, bonded stock, anything that walks. Destructible vinyl is engineered to be weaker than its own adhesive, so it fragments rather than peels.

How it fails

The property that makes it work makes it unforgiving. Applied crooked, it cannot be lifted and repositioned; it comes off in pieces and the label is spent. Crews get through more of these in training than in service.

Who fills it in

Nobody writes on it, and that is deliberate. A tamper evident label that invites handwriting invites amendment, which is the opposite of what it is for.

Common questions

How long does destructible vinyl last on it asset?

Indefinite in place, but fragments on any attempt to lift it. Cannot be repositioned. A misapplied tag is a wasted tag, so mark placement before you commit. For it asset specifically, the question to ask is where the units actually sit: the same stock behaves very differently in a conditioned corridor and in an unconditioned plant room.

What does AST-DEST-VIN cost at my volume?

$0.39 per unit at 250, falling to $0.29 at 2,500 - about 26 percent less per unit at the top break. The full table is on this page and there is no quote step. The entry break is 250 units and the top break is 2,500. Per unit that is a 1.3 times difference, which is worth doing the arithmetic on rather than guessing: take your annual device count, add what you expect to add this year, add about ten percent for spoilage and re-tags, and order to the break that number crosses. Buying past it is buying storage rather than savings, and stock held for years is stock that outlives a licence renewal or a change of address.

How fast will AST-DEST-VIN ship?

Production runs four to five business days plus transit. Synthetic stocks need a cure or dwell step after printing that card does not, which is where the extra day goes. You approve a print accurate proof before payment is taken, and that proof comes from the same engine that generates the file the press receives, so what you approve is what gets printed. There is no separate proofing round trip by email.

Do I have to use the serialization on AST-DEST-VIN?

Each unit prints with a unique code and a QR. The first scan binds it to a device and a location; every scan after that opens the inspection form for that device type and writes a permanent record. The building owner and the authority having jurisdiction can scan the same code and read the history without an account or a phone call. If you never scan anything, the asset tag still works as an ordinary one, so nothing is lost by ignoring the feature.

Proof approval, reprints and what happens if an order arrives wrong are the same for every product: how ordering works.
