How Converters Can Make RFID Labels

RFID on retail apparel

One example of an RFID insert assembly is Paxar using RFID inserts from IER to make swing tags for the retail apparel of Marks and Spencer in the United Kingdom. In other applications, wet (with adhesive) labels are required or even label-like structures such as the flat tags attached to cows’ ears or the smart passport pages made by Charles Oberthur, Gemplus-Setec, and ASK. The latter meet very stringent quality and formatting requirements, and are an illustration of how converters can make more of the label and choose to make more demanding ­designs for more demanding customers.
