On-Metal RFID Tags: Optimized Performance for Challenging Surfaces

On-metal RFID tags are specifically engineered to overcome the interference caused by metal surfaces, which typically disrupt standard RFID performance.   These tags feature specialized materials and design techniques—such as built-in shielding layers or protective cavities—that allow for reliable operation on metal assets.   Ideal for industries like manufacturing, logistics, automotive, and IT, on-metal tags enable accurate tracking, inventory management, and process automation even in demanding environments.

Choosing the right on-metal tag depends on several factors:

Surface Type: Flexible tags (e.g., PET-based) conform to curved or irregular surfaces, while rigid tags (e.g., ABS-based) offer higher durability.

Environment: For outdoor or harsh conditions, choose IP65/IP68-rated waterproof tags.   For indoor use, flexible tags with adhesive backing are sufficient.

Read Range: Requirements vary—long-range applications (e.g., yard management) benefit from extended-range models, while close-range needs (e.g., tool tracking) work with compact tags.

Mounting: Options include adhesive backing, rivet/screw holes, magnetic adsorption, or cable ties.

We offer a comprehensive range of on-metal RFID tags to meet diverse needs, including flexible models for versatile applications, and rugged ABS-based tags for extreme environments.   Each tag supports global UHF standards, custom encoding/printing, and seamless integration with major RFID printers.
