QR codes for
asset labels.

Choose the destination

Use a stable identifier that matches your asset register. A text code stores an ID, but the register still needs to manage ownership, maintenance and disposal records.

Place it where people can scan

Choose a durable label and a flat location that is easy to reach. Keep a human-readable identifier beside the code for damaged-label situations.

Make this template your own

The generator is set to plain text with the caption “ASSET REFERENCE.” Its sample content is illustrative. Replace it, read the encoded content back and download your preferred print file. The code stores your final content directly, so check spelling and destination ownership before committing it to a physical item.

The distance shown above is a chosen planning example, not a measured limit for this use case. REHAU's distance-to-width rule gives a starting point. DENSO WAVE's module and margin guidance adds the print-density check. Use the calculator with your actual QR version and expected printer resolution; a dense payload may need a larger symbol than the distance rule alone suggests.

Check the real-world result

Test with the actual scanning application used by staff. Avoid personal or secret information in the identifier, and do not assume a QR image proves ownership.

Keep the full blank border around the code. Recheck it after putting the image into the final layout, because resizing, cropping and export settings can change the result. Save the approved artwork and the exact payload together so a later reprint can be compared with the original.
