Print or Order Asset Tags

Print a QR label for any asset from the web app, or order durable pre-encoded QR and NFC tags where available. Each tag ships bound to its asset and resolves on the first scan.

What this guide covers

Every asset you register in JobsiteOn gets a scannable QR tag automatically. This guide shows the two ways to put that tag on the physical item:

Note: Printing and ordering tags is available to owners, admins, and managers.

Use this when you want to get a sticker on the item right now.

  1. Go to Equipment (/equipment).
  2. Find the asset and click Label.
  3. A label preview opens. Click Print to send it to your printer, or Open to view the label as a PDF in a new tab.

The QR code on the label always points to the same asset, so you can reprint a label any time, for example, if the original sticker gets dirty or worn.

Tip: Print onto weather-resistant label stock for equipment that lives outdoors or on a truck. A clean, flat surface scans fastest.

Order durable pre-encoded tags

For equipment that takes a beating, you can order rugged, pre-encoded tags instead of printing your own. Availability depends on your plan and region.

  1. Go to Tag orders (/tag-orders), or open it from the Assets page's More menu.
  2. Start an order and choose the tag material and the items to tag.
  3. Submit the order. You can Cancel an order any time before it's delivered.

Ordered tags are pre-encoded and bound to their asset before they ship, so each one resolves to the right equipment or part the first time it's scanned, there's no manual pairing step on arrival.

Note: Durable QR and NFC tag ordering is offered where available. If you don't see a material or option you expect, printed QR labels work on every workspace and can be used right away.

Write your own NFC tag

If you have blank NFC stickers (NTAG213 or larger) and a tag-writer app, you can encode a tag yourself:

  1. Open the asset's detail page and choose More → Copy NFC tag link.
  2. In your tag-writer app, write the copied link to the sticker as a URL record.
  3. Attach the sticker to the item and confirm it below.

The link is the same one the printed label's QR encodes, so a written NFC tag and a printed label always resolve to the same asset. Reprinting labels does not invalidate tags you've already written.

Confirm a tag works

After printing or attaching a tag, open Scan a tag (/scan) and scan it (or paste the label's QR URL). A valid tag resolves to the asset and shows its details. If it resolves to the wrong item or won't resolve, see Replace a Damaged Tag.
