Hardware
Printable smart labels and the inlays behind them
A smart label is a normal-looking printed label with an RFID inlay inside it. It prints and sticks like any label, and it also reads at several metres without line of sight. This is the cheapest way to bring RFID into a supply chain, because it replaces a label you are already buying.
An inlay is the antenna and chip on a thin film, before it becomes a label. A wet inlay has adhesive on the back and gets laminated into a label. A dry inlay has no adhesive and gets built into a card or a product. A finished smart label is a printable face, an inlay and adhesive in one.

What you get from us
Smart labels print human-readable text and a barcode and encode the tag at the same time, on a Zebra or TSC RFID printer.
Labels made to your carton, file or shelf size rather than forcing your process to a stock size.
Supplied already printed with your branding and encoded with your numbering, so the site just peels and sticks.
Impinj and NXP chips selected for read range, memory and price against the job.
Where it is used
Compatible software
It also works with software we did not write. We integrate at protocol level, so this hardware can be driven from your own system — that is a service we offer.
Inlays are supplied by the reel. Converted labels have a minimum order per die and per face material. Custom sizes need a one-time die charge, which we waive above a volume — ask when you enquire.
