==TrackAbout Recommendations for Tool Tracking Labels==
TrackAbout has evaluated several label types, sizes and formats for use on tools. We've condensed our best practices into a set of recommendations for the label to use and how to use them.

'''Best Practices'''
*2 barcodes on each tool when possible
*Place the labels on opposite sides of the the tool for easy scanning no matter where the tool is placed.
*Barcodes can be attached by zip ties to label irregularly shaped tools.
*Place them in the same location on every type of tool.
*Wipe the surface clean before attaching labels to tool.

==Label Specifications==
We're recommending a 1.1875 X .5 label. They have an excellent adhesive and will stand up to outdoor use for many years.

|-
! !! Standard labels
|-
| Labels per container || 2
|-
| Scanning distance (Using an iPhone 7 during the day) || 4-5 feet
|-
| Advantages ||
* Can scan from further away
* More visible from a distance
* More adhesive to stick to the container
|-
| Subsurface Printing || Subsurface printing protects against extreme solvents, caustics, acids and mild abrasion while eliminating need for a laminate
|-
| Adhesive || 002" MC78 adhesive. This adhesive has excellent durability, particularly suited for a wide range of poly and other low-surface energy materials (powderpaints,
etc). Great first initial tact, very hard to remove.
|-
| Abrasion Resistant || 2,500 revolutions on Taber Abrader
|-
|-
| Chemical Resistant || When properly applied this adhesive can withstand splashes of organic solvents, weak acids and bases, salt water, cleaning solutions, germicidals, disinfectants, oils, etc.
|-
|-
| UV Resistant || If exposed to UV 24/7, will last 7 years. If exposed intermittently, 7-10 years.
|-
|Service Temperature Range || -40°F to 350°F for intermittent exposure and -40°F to 302°F for longer exposure.

== Label Placement==

Your labels will arrive in sets of two. This graphic provides the recommended label placement for your tools:

As stated above, when affixing labels, be sure to have a clean dry surface. Also, it's best to place the label in a place that won't receive regular rubbing but is easy to access for scanning purposes.
