Many organisations tag assets once, only to find a year later that labels have curled, faded or fallen off. In Kenya, heat, humidity, dust and strong sun accelerate adhesive failure. Nicetags Solutions explains what goes wrong and how to prevent it.

Moist air in Mombasa weakens adhesives and lifts label edges.
Warm days and cool nights expand and contract surfaces, breaking the bond.
Strong sun fades printed inks, especially on outdoor or window-side assets.
Labels applied over dust or grease never bond properly.
The most common reasons are a low-grade adhesive, application on dusty or greasy surfaces, and heat or humidity weakening the bond. Textured plastics also reduce contact area. Choosing the right adhesive and cleaning surfaces before tagging prevents most failures.
