Custom AssetTags for Schools and Universities

Collaborations and Opportunities with Universities

In our previous blog, we already discussed the special collaboration with ROC Amsterdam and Flevoland. In addition to this reference, we have more notable collaborations with educational institutions, including the University of Amsterdam (UVA) and Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (HVA).


For this university partnership, we work directly with ICT service providers such as Centralpoint (DUSTIN), Ingram, Reuzado, and Bechtle. Each IT supplier has its own prefix or tag ID (a unique letter for the numbering sequence). With the information from this tag ID, the origin of the equipment is immediately clear to the customer. Additionally, the year of acquisition is included in the numbering to indicate the purchase year.

While this school uses relatively large AssetTags and tag IDs for nearly all equipment (75 x 35 mm), there is one exception. For the so-called thin clients, a smaller design of 45 x 15 mm is used so that the tag ID fits neatly on these small PC cases.

Custom Tag IDs

Together with the university and university of applied sciences, we have developed these custom tag IDs, and we have been supplying them since 2014. Not only has this opportunity led to a successful collaboration, but it has also attracted other universities and universities of applied sciences to us.

Custom full-color Tag IDs for Other Universities & Prominent Schools

For example, Utrecht University (UU) uses three different designs. One tag ID for mini PCs (thin clients) at 45×14 mm, one tag ID for mobile devices like tablets and GSM phones (35 x 20 mm), and the standard tag ID version (50 x 25 mm). Although each design has a specific purpose, requests for design changes are common. For instance, some tablets are preferred to have the larger tag ID, so there is a request to produce the mobile tag ID in the standard size. We are very flexible and handle this promptly!

The University of Groningen (RUG) uses extra-small (30×15 mm) anti-fraud tags for their fixed IT equipment. These tag IDs are custom-made in their recognizable brand color, red. These are also primarily delivered directly to IT service providers.

And perhaps our longest-standing partnership in education, Eindhoven University of Technology (TUE). Since 2012, we have been supplying AssetTags in large quantities. Over the years, we have made various logo and branding updates. For example, changes in color have led to material adjustments from silver metallic to XtremeTag to better align with the current red color scheme of the logo and branding.
