I designed and printed my own personal asset labels to tag my belongings. These labels help identify my items and provide contact information in case they get lost.

Overall Concept

I decided on a high-contrast black-and-white design for maximum visibility. As it is printed on white paper, I opted for a black border resembling a dog tag. The written text includes my name, email address, and DECT number. I further use the domain "rx.mt" for my asset IDs, storing them as subdomains (e.g., i1000.rx.mt) with TXT and LOC records for additional information. The design features test card colors on the bottom and a red box as design elements.

First Design Iteration

This is printed on 70mm x 36mm labels, which are rather large but provide enough space for the information and can be printed on A4 sheets. This is the first iteration of the design:

Second Design Iteration

From this first design, I created a second iteration with a bunch of logos. Of course, I only used logos that my stuff complies with. Also, I designed a datamatrix code that encodes the asset ID. Here's the updated design:

Small Label Variant

I also created a smaller variant of the label for smaller items. This one is 50mm x 20mm.
