Universal Passive RFID Tags

The closest thing you will find to a “one-size-fits-all” RFID solution! The Universal Passive RFID Tags are a surface-independent tag that use a patent-pending inlay design and passive RFID technology to obtain excellent read ranges regardless of the surface – metal, plastic, even wood. Along with the Universal RFID Hard Tag, these two products make up a revolutionary puniversal_rfid_asset_tag_low_profileroduct line that allows you to use only one RFID tag for your asset tracking application.

Universal Passive RFID Tags feature an inlay design that offers the lowest profile of any tag in its class – solving a common issue many customers have with other metal mount RFID tags where a thick standoff creates an obtrusive nuisance for the user. This unique inlay adheres to a subsurface printed label constructed of durable, yet flexible polyester or polypropylene. This process protects the copy, logo and/or bar code against moderate solvents and caustics/acids while our four-color processing capabilities allow you to promote your company with a label that shows off our company name or logo. Our digital printing process ensures even the most detailed logos will look crisp and clean.

Properties At-A-Glanceuniversal_rfid_asset_tag

  • Patent-pending inlay design obtains excellent read range regardless of surface – metal, plastic, even wood
  • Lowest profile in its class makes label unobtrusive
  • Subsurface printing on durable polyester or polypropylene protects printed copy against moderate solvents and caustics/acids
  • Digital printing process provides for greater print capability with detailed logos or special designs
  • Choice of up to four standard or custom colors

Specifications and Ordering Information

Construction: .002” thick polypropylene or polyester label adhered to proprietary inlay wrapped around 1/16” closed cell foam. Total product thickness is .085”

Label Copy: The label copy may include block type, stylized type, logos or other designs. All copy, block type, stylized type, logos, designs, and bar code are subsurface printed. This unique process provides moderate resistance to solvents, caustics, acids and abrasion.

Colors: Standard colors include black, red, yellow, green and blue. Due to contrast needed for the bar code scanner, all bar codes are black.

Serialization: Bar code and human-readable equivalent is produced using the latest high-resolution digital technology available, which provides excellent clarity and easy scanning.

Code 39 is the standard symbology with a range of 2.7 to 5.4 CPI (characters per inch). Optional symbology is Code 128. The bar code and human readable can be programmed into the RFID inlay as long as the information is in decimal or hexadecimal format. The programmed information can be locked, which prevents the RFID inlay from being rewritten. Radiant RFID can enclode up to 24 characters into the RFID inlay. If desired, we can encode information that differs from the bar code and human readable.

Frequency: Custom designed UHF inlay uses Alien Higgs 3 chip optimized for use at 915 MHz.

Standard Sizes: 2 7/8” x 1 3/8”

Standard Adhesive: .002” thick low surface energy, pressure-sensitive adhesive. Provides excellent adhesion to uneven surfaces and slightly oil surfaces.

Shipment: 20 work days

To Order: Call 512-351-4915 and ask for an ID Specialist.

Test Results

Heat Testing - Product withstood temperatures up to 240°F (115°C) for short term (10 minute) periods. They will withstand temperatures up to 160°F (71°C) for extended periods (tested for six hours with no degredation). The tests demonstrated that the transponder was not readable at temperatures above 185°F (85°C), but resumed function when temperatures were once again reduced below 185°F (85°C). Cold Testing - Tags were tested outdoors at 0°F and were readable, but read distance was reduced to half of the read distance observed at 60°F (15°C).
