With social development and population growth, cemetery resources have become increasingly scarce. As an effective solution for storing ashes, Columbarium systems are gaining more attention. In the management of these structures, the design of niche number cards is crucial not only for storage convenience but also for retrieval accuracy and administrative efficiency. Therefore, as a sales manager at HuaHeng Columbarium Factory, Jiangxi, China, Mr. Luo explores the design of niche number cards, aiming to provide useful references for the management of ash storage facilities.

I. Principles of Number Card Design

1. Uniqueness: Each niche must have a unique identifier to facilitate management and retrieval.

2. Clarity: Text and numbers on the card should be clearly visible for quick and easy reading.

3. Durability: Cards should be made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials to ensure they remain intact and legible over time.

4. Aesthetics: The design should be elegant and harmonize with the overall style of the Columbarium.

II. Key Elements of Number Card Design

1. Numbering System
   A clear and concise coding system should be adopted, such as numbers, letters, or a combination. Numbering can be organized by location—floor, zone, row, column, etc.—to help users quickly locate a specific niche. The system should also allow for future expansion to meet growing demand.

2. Identification Plate
   As the main carrier of the number card, the plate must be highly readable and durable. Materials like metal or plastic with special surface treatments can enhance wear and corrosion resistance. The plate should clearly display the identification number and include necessary text, such as “Columbarium”, “Zone A, Row 5, Column 3”, etc.

3. Decorative Elements
   To improve visual appeal, decorative elements like patterns or colors can be added. These should align with the overall style of the Columbarium, creating a solemn and respectful atmosphere.

III. Production and Installation of Number Cards

1. Production Techniques
   Cards should be manufactured with precision to meet design standards. Techniques like laser engraving or sandblasting can ensure clarity and durability. Each card must undergo quality inspection to comply with relevant standards.

2. Installation Methods
   Installation should be secure to prevent cards from falling off or being damaged. Screws, clips, or other reliable fasteners can be used. During installation, ensure the cards are level and vertically aligned for optimal appearance and functionality.

IV. Suggestions for Improvement

1. Incorporating Smart Identification Technology
   With advancing technology, smart identification methods such as QR codes and RFID tags can be integrated into number cards. Users can scan QR codes or read RFID tags via smartphones to quickly locate niches.

2. Adding Electronic Display Screens
   Electronic displays can be installed near the Columbarium to show niche numbers and availability in real time. Users can input a code on the screen to locate a niche quickly. These displays can also be linked with smart identification technologies for even more efficient management.

V. Conclusion

The design of niche number cards is a critical aspect of Columbarium management. Through thoughtful design and continuous improvement, management efficiency and retrieval accuracy can be significantly enhanced, providing users with more convenient and effective service. As technology and society evolve, the design of these identification systems will also continue to innovate.
