What goes on an asset tag

• The owner ("Property of …") and a return contact.
• An asset ID in text, with a Code 128 barcode (^BC) of it for a scanner.
• A QR code (^BQ) linking to the asset's record in your tracking system.
• Size: a 2 × 2 in square fits a laptop or a tool; durable tags also come as small as 2 × 1 in.
