With projections for continued growth in film usage and RFID labeling, static control will get lots of well-deserved attention.

Patterson—The RFID process is still in its infancy but as it is a high-value process any benefit to increasing yields through static and particulate contamination control must be considered. As the RFID process moves closer to printing the circuits and active components onto the film base, it will be critical to minimize static and contaminants on the web.
