Metalcraft's New RFID Flag Tag Now Available

Thursday, July 5, 2007

Metalcraft’s new RFID flag tag, aimed at speeding production and lowering cost for customers seeking durable RFID tags and labels for fixed and mobile assets, is now available.

The tag is a 4.5-inch square adhesive label with a non-adhesive, folding tab that offsets the inlay.

It has three scored sections, with the middle containing the RFID inlay; one end section adheres to - and protects – the inlay while the other section adheres to the asset being tracked. The result is an omni-directionally readable tag fit for challenging applications. [end]
