Polyester asset tag labels are a durable, cost-effective way to tag indoor equipment. We print polyester asset labels in Nairobi with your logo, sequential numbers and a barcode or QR code, protected by a clear laminate that resists scratches, moisture and everyday cleaning.
What polyester asset labels are
Polyester is a tough, flexible film, far stronger than paper and more stable than vinyl. The print sits under a clear protective overlaminate, so the barcode stays readable after years of handling. A strong permanent adhesive holds the label on smooth surfaces such as laptops, monitors, printers and laminated furniture.
Where polyester labels work best
- ICT equipment: laptops, desktops, monitors, printers, projectors, network equipment.
- Office equipment and laminated furniture.
- Large tagging projects where cost per tag matters.
- Assets you may re-tag during upgrades or re-numbering.
For assets exposed to heat, solvents, sunlight or heavy wear, choose anodized aluminium asset tags. Our guide to polyester vs aluminium explains when each makes sense.

Options
| Option | Choices |
|---|---|
| Finish | Silver (metallic look) or white polyester, gloss or matte laminate |
| Code | Barcode, QR code or number only |
| Security | Standard permanent or tamper-evident VOID adhesive |
| Supply | Sheets or rolls, in number sequence |
Why organisations choose polyester labels
- Lower cost per tag than metal, ideal for large IT estates.
- Full colour printing for logos and colour coding.
- Quick to apply, peel and stick.
- Reliable scanning thanks to crisp, high-contrast printing.
Enhancing asset tracking and management efficiency
Because polyester labels are quick to print in large numbers and quick to apply, they make it practical to tag every ICT item in an organisation, not just the most expensive ones. That completeness is what turns an asset register into a reliable tool: every laptop, monitor and printer can be scanned, assigned to a user and tracked through transfers and disposal.
Polyester vs paper and vinyl labels
| Laminated polyester | Paper | Vinyl | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tear resistance | High | Low | Medium |
| Moisture | Resistant | Poor | Resistant |
| Print protection | Laminated | None | Varies |
| Barcode readability over time | High | Low | Medium |
Care tips
- Apply to clean, dry, smooth surfaces at room temperature.
- Avoid placing labels where they will be scraped or rubbed constantly.
- Clean tagged items with mild cleaners rather than strong solvents.
- Upgrade to aluminium tags for anything outdoors or in hot areas.
Tag sizes
Available in 39 x 13 mm (standard and recommended), 45 x 15 mm, 50 x 20 mm, 50 x 30 mm, 60 x 30 mm, 75 x 40 mm, 80 x 50 mm and 100 x 50 mm. We recommend 39 x 13 mm for most assets and a larger size where the tag carries a big logo or is scanned from a distance.
Order polyester asset tag labels
