Frequency Types: UHF vs. HF
The choice of RFID technology depends on the reading distance and the type of application. Our labels can incorporate different types of inlays:
UHF (Ultra High Frequency) RFID Inlays: Designed for high performance. They enable long-range , high-volume reading (hundreds of tags per second), ideal for logistics, gate management, warehouse inventory, and the apparel supply chain.
HF (High Frequency) RFID Inlays: Optimized for short-range reading (a few centimeters), also often used in NFC technology. They are the perfect choice for the medical sector, laboratories (test tube tracking), access control, or anti-counterfeit product authentication.
Materials and Resistance for Critical Applications
An RFID tag is only effective if the label it contains can withstand the environment in which it is used. We match the inlay with the most suitable adhesive material:
RFID on Paper: The most common and cost-effective solution for logistics, retail, and indoor packaging identification.
RFID on Synthetic Materials (PET, PP, PVC): Essential for industrial, laboratory, or outdoor logistics applications. These labels resist chemicals, solvents, humidity, heat , and mechanical stress, protecting the chip and ensuring long-term readability.

FAQ
What does UHF and HF RFID mean? Which should I choose?
There are two different reading frequencies:
UHF (Ultra High Frequency): Enables long-range (several meters) and "massive" reading (hundreds of labels per second). It's the ideal choice for logistics, warehousing, and inventory.
HF (High Frequency / NFC): Allows reading at short distances (a few centimeters). It is used for access control, anti-counterfeiting, or precision traceability (e.g., laboratory test tubes).
Can I print a barcode on an RFID label?
Yes. Our RFID labels are designed for dual encoding . They are standard adhesive labels (paper or synthetic) with an RFID chip embedded inside. They can be overprinted with any visible information (barcodes, text, logos) using a dedicated RFID printer.
Does an RFID tag work on metal or liquids?
It depends. Standard RFID tags have problems on metal surfaces (which reflect the signal) and on products containing liquids (which absorb the signal). For these applications, there are specific "on-metal" RFID tags, designed with an insulating layer that allows the chip to function properly.
Is the RFID tag reusable or rewritable?
The RFID chip is rewritable . Unlike a printed barcode, which is static, the RFID tag's memory can be locked (read-only) or left open to be updated multiple times during the process (e.g., to change the status from "in progress" to "shipped").
