Polyester and vinyl asset labels

Substantially. KSh 35 against KSh 50 at the 39 × 13 mm base size, and KSh 5.50 per cm² against KSh 8.00 above that, so at 50 × 20 mm you pay KSh 55 instead of KSh 80. On a 5,000-tag order that is a difference of KSh 125,000.

Because it is an indoor product. Polyester and vinyl will not survive sustained UV, outdoor weather, heavy chemical exposure or high heat. Used indoors on furniture, computers and office equipment they perform perfectly well for years. Used on a generator in a yard they will fail, and we will tell you so before you order.

Yes, and this is its other real advantage. Polyester is flexible, so it conforms to rounded cabinet edges, cable runs, tool handles and cylindrical items where a rigid aluminium tag cannot sit flat. For a lot of organisations the right answer is aluminium on the flat assets and polyester on the awkward ones.

Several years in normal office conditions. They are less durable than aluminium, they can be scratched, and the adhesive is not permanent in the way acetone-activated aluminium is, but on a desk or a cabinet that is not being handled roughly, they do the job for the life of the asset.

With effort, yes. They are not a security product. If someone might move a tag between assets, use tamper-evident. Polyester is for identification and inventory control, not theft deterrence.

Not well. Heat, steam and grease all degrade the adhesive, and daily cleaning finishes the job. Use aluminium, and acetone-activated aluminium for anything near sustained heat.

Polyester is stiffer, more abrasion-resistant and holds print better over time. Vinyl is more flexible and conforms to tighter curves. For most asset tagging we recommend polyester; vinyl where the surface is genuinely awkward.

Yes, including your logo, at no extra charge. Full colour actually prints better on polyester than on anodised aluminium, so if brand appearance matters on visible assets this is a point in its favour.

No, and it matters. An office label printer produces a thermal or thermal-transfer print that rubs off with handling and fades within months. Our polyester tags are printed and laminated so the code survives cleaning and handling for years. If you have tried in-house labels and been disappointed, this is why.

100 pieces, the same as every other tag we make. Given the price, most polyester orders are considerably larger, it tends to be the choice for high-volume indoor rollouts where the asset count runs into thousands.
