Property labels are effective at communicating which items or stock belong to who. This can assist a workplace in the organisation of stock, as well as deterring theft and other crime.
Marking your property needs to be done properly, however, otherwise the label may as well not be there.
Below, we’ll discuss our range of property labels, their uses, benefits and how to use them.
The Benefits of Marking Your Property
Marking your property – whether it is your stock or personal items – can have numerous benefits. Namely, properly marked goods can:
- Improve organisation and stock control.
- Deter thieves from stealing the property.
- Leave behind traceable evidence should theft occur.
- Allow stock to be returned to you should it be lost in transit.
This is made better with the three different property label options we have at Label Source: self-adhesive polyester, part-laminated write and seal, and tamperproof destructible labels.
Self-adhesive labels provide an extra layer of protection, limiting the probability of markings being left behind after a property label has been used.
Write and seal property labels offer an additional layer of protection against chemicals, whereas tamperproof destructible labels will leave permanent markings behind when removed, meaning thieves cannot resell an item easily.
How to Use Property Labels
You can only reap these benefits if you know how to use property labels. To use them properly, you must first pick the right type of property label.
For example, if you’re trying to protect a very valuable piece of equipment, then it’s probably better to use a tamperproof label as this provides the most tangible theft deterrence.
Once you’ve picked the right label, you must ensure placement achieves the following three conditions:
- The label is easily seen – it’s no good having a property label that is difficult to find or is obstructed.
- The label is affixed properly – if the label isn’t placed down properly, then it is likely that it won’t function.
- Written information is legible and correct – ensure the information you put on the label is correct, especially your contact information.
While using property labels is a little self-explanatory, it’s important you don’t skip any steps.
