RFID Windshield Tags

Simplify Vehicle Access with Smart RFID Technology

Managing vehicle access to locations like gated communities, corporate facilities, and high-traffic parking areas doesn’t have to be complicated or costly. Metalcraft’s RFID Windshield Tag offers a streamlined, secure way to control entry without the need for physical cards or on-site personnel. Designed for durability, ease of use, and top-tier performance, this innovative solution helps you simplify access control while enhancing the security of your property.

Economical, High-Performance RFID Tag Design

Unlike traditional identification methods or higher-cost active windshield tags, this solution uses passive UHF RFID technology — making it an economical option without compromising on performance. Each RFID tag is built with a specialized inlay encased between thin polyester layers, designed specifically for application on glass windshields and other glass surfaces. Thanks to its construction, the tag delivers a read range of over 20 feet, even when mounted directly on the interior of a vehicle windshield — no standoff required.

Versatility Across Applications

The versatility of this RFID-based solution makes it ideal for a wide variety of environments. From gated communities looking to eliminate bottlenecks at entry points to corporate facilities that need to track employee parking, the tag supports fast, hands-free identification. Whether managing 50 vehicles or 5,000, you’ll appreciate how this product scales with your needs.

Built-In Security with Tamper-Evident Features

Security is a top priority, which is why we offer a tamper-evident option. This version includes strategically placed slits in both the adhesive layers and label surface. If anyone attempts to remove the tag, it fragments, preventing reuse and clearly indicating tampering. This added layer of protection helps ensure only authorized vehicles gain access, giving you peace of mind.

Custom Branding and Visual Appeal

Customization is another key advantage. Our advanced digital printing process supports vibrant, full-color graphics, including detailed logos and barcoding. If your organization wants to promote its brand while maintaining a professional look, this is the perfect solution. A double-sided registered option is also available, allowing matching graphics or variable data to appear on both sides of the label — increasing visibility from inside and outside the vehicle.

Multiple Identification Methods for Greater Flexibility

In addition to visual elements, each tag can include unique serial numbers and barcodes for added traceability and identification. This dual-layered approach lets you leverage both RFID and barcode scanning technologies depending on your infrastructure. Whether you’re using handheld scanners or fixed readers, the system is adaptable to your workflow.

Chip-Agnostic Compatibility and Broader Use

Because our RFID windshield tags are chip-agnostic, they integrate easily into existing RFID networks and can support virtually any chip type you require. That flexibility means you won’t have to overhaul your current setup or invest in new systems to start using these tags right away. They’re optimized to perform on a wide range of materials beyond glass as well, offering excellent read performance across diverse environments.

Made in the USA — No Tariffs, Faster Delivery

What also sets Metalcraft apart is our commitment to quality. Every RFID solution is made in the USA, eliminating tariff-related costs and reducing lead times. You get consistent quality and faster delivery, all while supporting domestic manufacturing.

The Ideal Solution for Secure, Scalable Access Control

Whether you’re managing fleet access at a commercial building, controlling entry at a residential community, or overseeing secure parking at a government facility, Metalcraft’s RFID solution delivers the performance, reliability, and security you need. With both preprinted and on-site printable options, you can select the format that best fits your operational needs.

This RFID-based tag system empowers you to automate vehicle identification, minimize gate congestion, and elevate your access control strategy. It’s the smart, scalable solution for modern property managers, security teams, and transportation coordinators who need a secure, customizable, and efficient way to track vehicles and control entry.
