RFID technology developer Smartrac has released its new On Metal Tag, which is intended for tagging metal objects and surfaces, as well as challenging non-metal objects. The tag’s thin, soft and flexible structure is suited for curved and flat surfaces and provides converters with opportunities to create appealing solutions for end users.

The tag is 600 μm thick and suited for demanding application areas, such as industrial steel pallets, automotive parts and water and paint pails.

This printable On Metal Tag enables applications that were not possible earlier with traditional UHF inlays and offers the opportunity to easily print and encode the product with standard RFID printers on site. It’s designed to perform on metal surfaces and liquid-filled bottles, with a read-range of up to 3.5 meters.

The tag also features traceable and secure TID serialization. It is available in ETSI (for Europe) and FCC (for America and Asia) frequency bands.

The product is delivered in wet format on a single-row 500-unit reel, with reliable adhesion for demanding surfaces. A clean gap between the tags makes it user-friendly and suitable for automated applicators and minimizes waste at the point of use.

Smartrac’s product is compliant with ISO 9001:2008 quality management and ISO 14001:2004 environmental management.
