RFID Bale Tag is the ideal solution for tagging and tracking any type of bale. Whether it’s for agricultural, cardboard, printing, recycling materials, fabrics or non-wovens, the RFID Bale tag can easily be attached to any type of bale. The tag’s polymer construction protects the text and RFID inlay from the elements providing superior tag stability, durability and performance compared to other paper based RFID tags.

The 5/16” nickel grommet gives additional strength to the tag to ensure tags cannot tear away because of wind or weakening around the attachment point from moisture or wear. Available in a wide variety of color’s, each tag can be custom printed to meet any design specification and provide high contrast and visibility on any bale.
