Opportunity Knocks

According to Reardon, the commercialization of RFID tags represents a major new niche that will impact every area of the packaging market. "Self-adhesive laminates will be the first to gain from this new technology and, therefore, printers who can gear up to deliver part or all of the RFID tag will also be winners. Conductive inks may well be the way forward for printing the RFID circuitry—delivered by another major innovation, digital inkjet print stations in modular presses."
