IntelliScanner Asset Tags - Pre-Printed Barcode Labels (Roll of 500)

In this review of the IntelliScanner Asset Tags, the bottom line is straightforward: these pre-printed barcode labels are for anyone who needs a simple, durable way to give unique, permanent IDs to items that lack barcodes. The reviewer found the tags especially useful for small businesses, libraries, and home inventory because each label comes with a guaranteed unique 7- or 8-digit Code 39 barcode and a strong permanent adhesive. The labels are compact at 2.0x0.5 in and built from polypropylene, so they survive handling and many environments while being easy to apply with the peel-and-stick backing.

Key Features

• Pre-printed unique barcodes: Each tag has a unique 7- or 8-digit barcode so items can be tracked without generating numbers yourself.
• High durability construction: Polypropylene material and resin printing resist wear and keep barcodes legible over time for reliable scanning.
• Permanent adhesive: The labels stick securely to books, furniture, electronics and most asset surfaces for long-term identification.
• Industry-standard barcode: Uses Code 39 barcode format, which works with IntelliScanner readers and most third-party scanners designed for Code 39.
• Ready-to-use roll: A roll of 500 labels saves setup time and keeps all tags in a compact, easy-to-store format.

Who It's For

These tags are best for small businesses, schools, libraries, and home users who want a low-effort way to tag assets without printing their own barcodes. They are especially convenient when paired with an IntelliScanner barcode reader or any compatible Code 39 scanner for quick inventory and tracking.

Users who need EAN or UPC compatibility should look elsewhere, because these tags use Code 39 barcodes. Also, if you require very large labels or a barcode format tied to point-of-sale systems, a different label type would be more appropriate.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Pre-printed unique numbers eliminate the risk of duplicate asset IDs and speed up tagging.
• Durable polypropylene and resin print maintain barcode readability through handling and age.
• Permanent adhesive ensures tags remain attached to a wide range of surfaces.
• Roll format of 500 labels is efficient for tagging many items without frequent restocking.

Cons

• Uses Code 39 format only, so it is not compatible with systems requiring EAN/UPC barcodes.
• Label size of 2.0x0.5 in may be too small for applications that need visible human-readable IDs at a distance.
