A scruffy strip of masking tape with a marker-pen scrawl says something about a business, and it isn’t flattering. It looks temporary, it falls off, and it does nothing for you the moment a client sees it. A clean, branded label carrying your logo, the item’s details and a scannable code says the opposite: that you run an organised, professional operation — and it quietly advertises you every time your kit is seen on a site.
Asset Giant includes a built-in label designer so you can produce labels that look the part without any design software or outside help. You control what goes on them, the system handles the fiddly layout, and the result is a consistent, professional look across your whole fleet.
Make labels that work as hard as you do
A good asset label has to do two jobs at once — be useful to your team and presentable to the world — and the designer lets you balance both:
- Add your branding. Put your company logo on every label so your kit looks unmistakably yours.
- Choose what to show. Display the asset name, its ID and the QR code together, so a label is informative even before it’s scanned.
- Pick the right size. Design for standard label sheet formats, so what you create maps exactly onto the labels you buy.
From design to a print-ready PDF in minutes
The designer’s real value is that it removes the tedium and trial-and-error of laying out labels yourself. You decide on the content and size once, and the system produces a clean, correctly-positioned PDF you can send straight to a printer. There’s no nudging text boxes around, no labels printing half off the edge, and no wasted sheets.
In practice the journey from “untracked tools” to “professionally labelled fleet” is short:
- Set your label content and choose a sheet size.
- Add the assets you want to label to the print queue.
- Generate the print-ready PDF and print onto your label sheets.
- Peel, stick, and start scanning.
Best Practice: Set your logo and preferred label size once, up front. With those defaults in place, labelling new equipment becomes a quick, repeatable routine rather than a fresh design exercise each time.
