★★★★★
“After someone in our office pointed out how much we were spending on labels for tracking student Chromebooks and other electronics, I started looking for alternatives and found ParCode. I was skeptical because the price was nearly half of what we had been paying, but the product was every bit as good.“
Yvonne V., West Chester Schools

The tags we print for schools every week
These are the constructions districts already have on Chromebooks, projectors, and furniture. Every one is printed with your wording and numbered in sequence.
2-part
A matching stub
The main tag stays on the asset. The stub peels off onto the receiving sheet, the checkout card, or the asset folder, carrying the same number.
4-part
One number, four places
The barcode tag, plus three matching tabs for the inventory binder, the building copy, and the surplus file. Year text is optional.
0.75″ × 2″
Color header
The school standard. It fits a Chromebook lid corner or the underside without covering vents. District name in reverse print.
QR
Scan with a phone
The same footprint, with a QR code instead of or beside the barcode. The header can carry the district, the BOE, or the department.
Logos & grants
Funding on the asset
Crests, school marks, and ESEA, ESSER or Title wording, with a program code that keeps grant equipment in its own series.
More school tags we have printed
Stripes, color headers, silver polyester, and two-part tags, each printed with the district’s own name and numbers.
What goes on the tag
| Field | Why it is there |
|---|---|
| District or school name | Ownership, and it gets equipment returned |
| Logo or crest | Recognised at a glance, and it discourages walk-off |
| Color header or stripe | Spot the right series on a cart of identical devices |
| Barcode (Code 39 or Code 128) | Fast cart scans and audit scans |
| QR code | Phone scan straight into the asset record |
| Sequential asset number | A readable backup when a scanner will not read |
| Matching stub number | File, checkout card, surplus log |
| Year or funding line | School-year cycle, or Title and ESSER equipment |
| Department (IT, BOE, Athletics) | Who owns the checkout |
We match the numbering you already have: starting number, prefix, year code, site code. Send the spreadsheet.
Chromebooks & student devices
Device tags that last from August to June.
Hundreds of identical devices go out at the start of the year and come back at the end. Tags that peel, fade, or don’t match your records turn collection day into manual cleanup.
0.75″ × 2″ is the size districts standardise on: it fits the lid corner or the underside without covering vents.
- Seven stripe colors, so each school year or grade can have its own
- 2-part tags that print the same number on the device and the charger
- Laminated polyester that resists solvents, so cleaning wipes don’t wear off the print
- Destructible vinyl, so a tag can’t be peeled off one device and moved to another
Property & inventory · schools, districts, and campuses
Property tags that make the annual inventory faster.
Tag furniture, AV, and classroom equipment once, then scan instead of writing down serial numbers at audit time. The matching stub goes on the receiving sheet, the checkout card, or the surplus and disposal file, so the paper record carries the same number as the asset.
- “Property of [your district]” wording, with your logo if you want it
- Sequential numbering that continues from the numbers you already use
- Multi-part tags with matching removable tabs: one tab, or three
- Year text, 2023/2024 style, to keep each school year in its own series
- Tamper-evident VOID labels that show if someone tries to remove them
Facilities & maintenance
Equipment tags for boiler rooms, kitchens, and bus lots.
Know what equipment you have, where it is, and which work orders belong to it.
- Color headers by department, so HVAC, kitchen, and grounds tags look different at a glance
- QR codes or barcodes your work-order system can scan
- Materials that resist moisture, chemicals, freezer temperatures, and outdoor weather
School and public libraries
Library barcode labels, pre-numbered and ready to apply.
Labels for books, media, and anything else you lend, printed in the number sequence your library system expects.
- Numbered to continue from the last barcode in your catalog
- We confirm the barcode format your library system reads before we print
- Laminated polyester that resists abrasion from constant handling
- Your library’s name on every label
How it works
Send a photo of the tag you use now, a device list, an inventory export, or the last barcode in your catalog, and we lay out and print the tags.
1
Tell us what you're tagging
Quantities, your current numbering, and where the tags will go. A photo of your existing tag is enough to work from.
2
We set the construction
Size, header color, barcode or QR, and the stub count: none, one matching tab, or three.
3
You approve a proof
Nothing prints until the layout and the numbering are right. Ask for samples to try on a real Chromebook, desk, or book first.
4
Delivered in number order
Printed from your starting number and ready to apply without sorting.
