What Are Aluminium Asset Tags?
Aluminium asset tags are durable metal identification labels attached to physical assets to provide a unique and consistent means of identification.
An aluminium tag can contain information such as:
- Unique asset number
- Serial number
- Barcode
- QR code
- Company name
- Company logo
- Department or location code
- Asset identification text
- Other required variable information
Unlike ordinary paper labels, aluminium asset tags are designed for applications where the identification label needs to remain attached and readable during regular handling and use.
They are particularly suitable for equipment, machinery and other assets that require long-term identification.
Why Choose Aluminium Asset Tags in Kenya?
The right asset tag depends on the asset, surface, environment and identification system being used.
Aluminium is a practical option where you require a rigid or durable metal identification tag.
Key benefits include:
- Durable metal construction
- Custom asset numbering
- Barcode and QR code options
- Company logo and branding
- Suitable for many indoor and outdoor applications
- Available in different sizes and designs
- Can be supplied with different fixing options
- Suitable for equipment and machinery
- Supports physical asset verification

For demanding environments, the material, marking method and fixing method should be selected according to the asset's operating conditions.

Anodised Aluminium Asset Tags in Kenya
Anodised aluminium asset tags are a popular option for long-term asset identification.
Anodising creates a protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface. Depending on the manufacturing process, the identification can be incorporated into or applied to the treated surface rather than relying solely on conventional surface printing.
This makes anodised aluminium suitable for applications where tags may experience:
- Regular handling
- Abrasion
- Sunlight
- Dust
- Moisture
- Industrial environments
- Outdoor exposure
- Cleaning and maintenance
Kenyan organisations commonly use anodised aluminium tags for equipment, machinery, ICT assets, vehicles, generators and other fixed or movable assets. Current Kenyan suppliers also position anodised aluminium specifically for machinery and outdoor applications.
Ask Novamark about the aluminium specification and marking method suitable for your application.

Custom Aluminium Asset Tags with Numbers, Logos & Barcodes
Your aluminium asset tags can be customised according to your asset identification system.
We can accommodate requirements such as:
Sequential Asset Numbers
For example:
AST-0001
AST-0002
AST-0003
Sequential numbering makes it easier to assign a unique identification number to each asset.
Company Logo
Your organisation's logo can be incorporated into the tag design to provide clear ownership identification.
Barcodes
Barcode asset tags allow each physical asset to have a machine-readable identifier that can be scanned during inventory, verification and asset management activities.
QR Codes
QR codes provide another machine-readable identification option and can be useful where organisations want to connect the physical asset to digital information or an asset management system.
Human-Readable Information
The tag can also contain information that can be read without a scanner, depending on the available space and design.
Aluminium Asset Tags with Barcodes and QR Codes
Aluminium asset tags can combine a unique asset number with a barcode or QR code.
For example:
NOVAMARK GROUP LTD
ASSET NO: NMG-004582
[BARCODE]
or:
NOVAMARK GROUP LTD
ASSET NO: NMG-004582
[QR CODE]
This creates a physical identification point that can be used alongside your fixed asset register or asset management system.
Barcode Asset Tags
Barcodes are suitable for organisations using barcode scanners or asset management systems that support barcode identification.
QR Code Asset Tags
QR codes can be scanned using compatible smartphones and devices and can be used to connect the physical tag to relevant digital information.
The choice between barcode and QR code should depend on your existing asset-management workflow, scanning equipment and information requirements.
Types of Aluminium Asset Tags
Novamark can produce aluminium asset tags according to your application and identification requirements.
Barcode Aluminium Asset Tags
Aluminium tags containing a unique asset number and barcode for machine-readable identification.
QR Code Aluminium Asset Tags
Aluminium tags incorporating QR codes for digital asset identification.
Serial Number Aluminium Asset Tags
Tags containing sequential or unique identification numbers for physical asset control.
Logo Aluminium Asset Tags
Custom tags incorporating your organisation's name and logo.
Tamper-Resistant Aluminium Asset Tags
Aluminium tags can be specified with appropriate fixing methods and attachment systems to make unauthorised removal more difficult.
Riveted Aluminium Asset Tags
Where the application requires mechanical fixing, tags can be designed with holes for suitable rivets or other fasteners.
The appropriate fixing method depends on the asset material, surface and operating environment.
Aluminium Asset Tag Specifications
The specification of an aluminium asset tag should be selected according to the asset and its environment.
Typical considerations include:
| Specification | Available/Considered Options |
|---|---|
| Material | Aluminium / anodised aluminium |
| Tag size | Custom size according to application |
| Identification | Sequential numbers / unique asset IDs |
| Barcode | Available where required |
| QR code | Available where required |
| Company logo | Available |
| Text | Custom information |
| Shape | Standard or custom design |
| Fixing | Adhesive or mechanical fixing where applicable |
| Surface | Selected according to application |
| Numbering | Sequential or client-supplied numbering |
Important: Final specifications, thickness, finishes and fixing options should be confirmed with Novamark before production.
Aluminium Asset Tags for Asset Registers
An asset tag becomes more useful when its unique identification number corresponds with the organisation's fixed asset register.
For example:
| Physical Asset | Asset Number | Tag |
|---|---|---|
| Dell Laptop | NMG-0001 | Barcode/QR |
| Office Desk | NMG-0002 | Barcode/QR |
| Generator | NMG-0003 | Barcode/QR |
| Printer | NMG-0004 | Barcode/QR |
The physical tag provides the visible identifier, while the asset register stores the associated information.
Depending on the organisation's system, an asset record may contain:
- Asset description
- Asset number
- Serial number
- Purchase information
- Department
- Location
- Custodian
- Condition
- Acquisition information
- Other asset-management information
This approach helps organisations connect physical assets with their records during verification and audits.
Aluminium Asset Tags for Asset Verification and Audits
Asset verification involves physically checking assets against the organisation's records.
A unique aluminium asset tag can make this process easier by giving each asset a consistent physical identifier.
During verification, organisations can use the tag to:
- Identify the physical asset.
- Confirm the asset number.
- Compare the asset with the asset register.
- Verify its location or custodian.
- Record discrepancies where necessary.
- Update asset records where appropriate.
For large asset inventories, barcode or QR identification can further support scanning and data capture.
Kenyan public-sector asset specifications have also included anodised aluminium barcode tags with human- and machine-readable information, strong bonding, abrasion resistance and resistance to UV and chemicals. Requirements vary by project, so specifications should always be matched to the actual application.
