No matter what industry you’re in or your product challenges, you can rely on Hue Tone for customized serial number labels that go the distance. Our customers return year after year for our durable serial number labels. These effective, long-lasting solutions capture important information and solve critical business challenges including:
- Asset tracking: A serial number with or without a barcode format on each item is the starting point for a robust and accurate asset tracking system that includes software, barcode scanners and serial number labels. This basic set of tools empowers your company’s employees and customers to locate and track assets as needed.
- Easy access to key information: Custom QR-coded labels can provide your employees and customers with easy access to valuable information such as instructions and manuals.
- Inventory and production tracking: Serial number barcode labels and QR code labels enable you to track fixed assets for inventory, production, shelving, shipping and more.
- Compliance: Apply our durable, long-lasting labels to medical devices, instrumentation, processed foods and other items that require strict regulatory adherence.
- Warranty and repair control: Asset tracking enables your company to log maintenance activities, service and parts so that you can maintain a complete database of warranty history and repair.
Some industries apply serial number labels on tractor-trailers, heavy equipment and other machinery that must withstand challenging outdoor environments. For companies in the medical industry, serial tags must endure harsh cleansers and abrasion.
Companies of all types require number tags with durable sub-surface construction to endure wear and tear. With sub-surface serial number labels, information is printed on the reverse side of weather-resistant plastic, which protects the ink, colour and image.
One of our specialities is self-adhesive serial number labels. These may be standalone serial number labels, or may be incorporated into other types of label such as a Rating label or Bar Code Label. Prefixes and suffixes can also be added. We normally supply serial numbers with the lowest number on the outside of the roll, unless otherwise specified. Call our team now for affordable serial number labels for your company today.

Parking signs are generally classified as any traffic sign, directional sign or information sign as they can achieve any of these objectives. Parking signs are intended to give information to drivers, people looking to park and road uses. Parking signs are generally used to demarcate parking bays, as opposed to road signs that could warn of dangerous conditions or advise where parking is not allowed.
Parking signs can vary from Aluminium parking signs, metal parking signs, plastic parking signs and Chromadek parking signs to paper. Parking signs are often overlooked as part of a corporation's general corporate identity. In order to avoid this parking signs should generally maintain the look and feel of all the other signs of a business.
Parking signs can consist of:
- Yellow sign displaying times: The yellow sign shows the time that single yellow line restrictions operate. (Double yellow lines apply at all times and do not need a sign). You must not park here during these times but are allowed to load/unload, usually for a maximum of 20 minutes. Blue badge holders may park for up to three hours on a yellow line if they display their badge and time clock.
- White sign stating time restrictions: The white sign shows a free parking bay. You are allowed to park for a maximum time as shown on the sign.
- Permit holders: You may park in this parking bay only if you are displaying a valid permit for the zone.
At Huetone we supply various parking signage including:
- Regulatory signs
- Warning signs
- Information signs
- G Series
- Guidance Signs
- Tourism Signs
- Route Markers
- Symbolic Signs
Whether it is a stop sign, handicap sign or custom traffic sign we have all of the standard Traffic Signs for immediate delivery. All of our Traffic Signs are available in reflective aluminium and of course all traffic signs meet all the regulatory requirements. Call today for affordable prices on your parking signage.

An information sign is a very legibly printed and very noticeable placard that informs people of the purpose of an object, or gives them instruction on the use of something. An example is a traffic sign such as a stop sign.
Information signs have been growing in visibility due to the explosion of sign technologies. For hundreds, if not thousands, of years’ signs were crafted out of wood. Words and images were then hand-painted on the sign. The other traditional way of creating signs dealt with individual constructed letters carved from wood, moulded or wrought from metal, which were then individually placed in the appropriate sequence.
While both of these methods are still employed, technology has moved in around them. Woodworking machinery can now be controlled by computers, leading to much greater consistency. Moulded signage has changed dramatically with the advent of plastics, which are far more flexible than metal as well as significantly cheaper to produce. Additionally, altogether new sign technologies have come into being, such as computer-cut vinyl signage.
Aluminium is silver grey, abundant, low density metal that is fairly corrosion resistant. From a signage perspective, it is a light weight metal that is fairly easily worked and treated giving a modern clean look. Aluminium signs are either painted or if left natural colour, can be brushed or anodised.
With regards to signs, aluminium is mostly used for cut out letters, backing boards and fabrication.
In many situations life can be made easier if there is a sign available, putting across an easily understood message. Our information signs are suitable for use in a number of locations, from warehouses, to offices and schools and are available in a range of materials and sizes.
In some situations, it’s a good idea to give visitors and employees on your premises clear visual guidance. With our huge range of signs, finding the right product is easy.

The thought of hospitals and healthcare facilities can be uncomfortable and even scary, so making patients, guests and patrons feel at ease is imperative. Work with the expert Huetone team to help create and install custom wayfinding & directional hospital signage.
One workplace that needs a lot of signs is a hospital. Hospital signs include direction signs showing patients and staff the way and signs indicating room numbers and stores. But hospital signs attached to walls are serve an important function. All employees have name badges, and signs indicating the location of safety equipment, such as fire extinguishers, defibrillators, etc., are also very common.
Hospitals are full of tiny hazards, and our hospital signs aren't just for patients, doctors and nurses need important information too. Post a message to prevent avoidable accidents.
Caution staff, patients, and visitors against hazards like radiation, needles, infectious waste, and more.
The Impact of Hospital Signage:
At its most basic level, hospital signage makes the hospital experience vastly easier to navigate creating a less stressful atmosphere at a time when tensions are running high. Trying to find the correct way to an area in a hospital can be a challenging task. When that hospital has multiple facilities the process becomes even more difficult and a messaging system delivering clear, up-to-date and targeted information eases patients’ and visitors’ journeys.
Consumers today have a wide range of healthcare options available. Their overall experience with your facility will influence their future healthcare decisions and recommendations. Well designed, consistently branded signage conveys a hospital’s professionalism, organization, and concern for patient needs.
At Hue Tone we help your hospital project the right image through consistent branding, improves efficiency with well-designed auxiliary signage, and makes the process effortless with superior service and support. Contact us today to find out why Hue Tone is the best choice for hospital signs.

Not every asset needs a tag. Usually, assets need to be tracked if they are critical to the operation of the business, present a significant liability risk if they fail, or if they represent a significant cost if damaged, lost, stolen, or misused. This can include the following assets:
Computers and peripherals: Laptops, desktops, monitors, external hard drives, and more are listed in this category. In the long run, tagging and tracking these items helps you see the big picture and make purchasing decisions based on how assets are used.
Office equipment: Capital items such as phones, printers, TVs, and conference equipment should be tagged to help track expenses for accounting and tax purposes.
Appliances: Common appliance assets include refrigerators, microwaves, water heaters, dishwashers, air conditioners, and so on. The larger of these appliances have a significant cost and have specific maintenance requirements. Tracking these items will help account for costs, depreciation, and ensure that maintenance is performed when needed.
Machines, equipment, and tools: Turbines, transformers, hydraulic power units (HPUs), medical devices, power tools, jacks, and much more fall under this category of assets. From the largest machine to the smallest tool, these assets are often essential for day-to-day operation.
Furniture: Depending on your needs, tagging your furniture may be beneficial as well. This can include marking bookshelves, chairs, cabinets, and tables. Tracking these items improves efficiency as items move from storage to the work area as your business grows, hires new workers, rearranges the office, or transfers items from one building to another.
Vehicles: Many companies maintain vehicles for use when employees from other offices visit. Others have fleets of vans, trucks, and mobile cranes as critical components of their business. Tagging and tracking these items is essential for ensuring they are properly maintained and are available when needed.
Overall, tracking these asset types will enable your business to better assess how each is used, understand the costs, plan maintenance, standardize equipment, and reduce overhead and taxes.

Asset tags are one of several tools needed for a successful asset management system. Asset tags are usually printed labels on durable vinyl or polyester stock and are placed on assets to improve how they are tracked. These labels usually contain a barcode and equipment ID number, as well as the company name and logo.
Used with asset management software and barcode scanners, you can gather, organize, and maintain a large amount of information about assets. In turn, this information enables you to better manage how assets are acquired, used, maintained, and disposed.
What Are Some Benefits of Asset Tags?
Many asset tags use barcodes, which can be scanned to pull up the asset’s information, log maintenance information, and much more. Barcodes help reduce errors by eliminating the need to manually track and log asset information. Other benefits include:
- Simplifying tracking of assets
- Enabling comprehensive tracking of maintenance and downtime
- Enabling businesses to track costs
- Reducing costs associated with loss and theft of assets
Furthermore, when assets are misplaced, on loan, or transferred from department to department, asset tags enable you to quickly log the change and locate assets when needed. The time spent looking for these assets is greatly reduced, thereby saving time and reducing costs.
What Are Some Common Mistakes to Avoid?
When tracking your assets, you need to have a clear picture of the assets in your business, from acquisition to disposal. To make your program successful, here are some common mistakes to avoid:
Inaccurate inventory of assets
Asset descriptions that lack manufacturer, model, and serial number information
Asset tags that lack information that can be manually read and used in situations where asset databases cannot be accessed
Unaccounted asset movements for acquisitions, transfers, and disposal
Information is the lifeblood of any asset management system. Before starting, your company needs to take a complete inventory of its assets, record all asset information, create tags that can be read by both scanners and human eyes, and develop strict controls for tracking assets as they are acquired, moved, maintained, and disposed of. Otherwise, information will be inaccurate and any decisions made will be based on only a partial picture.
Learn more about how you can start managing your assets, which assets to track, and how to identify potential risks with our Best Practice Guide to Fixed Asset Management.

Keeping Better Inventory and Reducing Errors with Barcode Labels
Barcodes can also help you to keep a better inventory of your own products, especially if your product line is large and diverse. You can create special barcodes to best fit your numbering and inventory system. By printing a label with a barcode on it, you can simply scan your barcode rather than rely on someone taking a physical inventory. This not only saves time and money, but it also tremendously reduces the risk of human error.
Having the wrong information in your supply chain or business operation can wreak havoc. These errors can account for business being lost and for higher operating expenses. Your information is one of your most valuable assets and you want to be sure it is being taken care of in a reliable way – this is where barcode labelling shines.
A great example of this is labelling a medical device or labelling a pharmaceutical product with a barcode. Many times, these very products have many different variations. Or even if you’re a coffee roaster, if you have 50 different roasts or flavours, it may be hard to keep them all straight. A barcode label can be affixed to the finished product while it is in inventory, so that when the time comes for the item to be picked for shipping, the barcode can be scanned. This will help you to ensure that the right inventory is being picked and shipped to the correct customer.
Avoiding Fraud with Barcode Labels
Piracy and counterfeiting have become more and more common around the world, and such scams can affect your business or industry economically. Most commonly counterfeited are wine labels, fashion labels, and pharmaceutical drug labels.
Counterfeiting is growing so fast that it is hard to control. The United States in particular is hit hard by counterfeiting since it is the world’s largest consumer market. In 2007 alone, 750,000 US jobs were lost due to counterfeiting. Counterfeiters are becoming very smart about what they are doing and one of the best solutions for preventing counterfeit items from making their way into our retail environment is by using barcode labels.
You can use your labels and packaging to fight back against counterfeiting. If you have a product that is at high risk of being duplicated, you can create your own barcode that contains specific information so that it can be scanned to ensure that it is a genuine product. Having a barcode to scan assures retailers that your product is legitimate and safe. These codes can prevent counterfeit pharmaceutical products, wine, baby formula, and even fraudulent unsafe software from getting into consumer hands.
