For bales, key fobs or general hanging tags, we have RFID products that are durable, removable and reusable. Our tag’s polymer construction protects the text and RFID inlay from the elements, offering superior access control and tracking. For hang tags, you can print a registered company logo or instructional information on the second side. You can even print the same variable number or barcode on both sides, allowing anyone to see the information from either side of the tag.

Is RFID for You?

In this clip from Colynn Black’s RFID Real Talk playlist, Colynn discusses whether RFID technology is worth the investment. He emphasizes that the answer depends on individual circumstances and company goals. To assess RFID’s value, organizations should first identify their objectives and determine what they want to achieve with the technology. Colynn also highlights the importance of a company-wide commitment to RFID implementation, rather than leaving it to one person, to ensure successful integration and return on investment. While RFID may not solve every issue, it can offer significant solutions with creative applications.

FAQs

An RFID hang tag is a type of radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag designed to be attached to items without the need for adhesive or embedding. Typically made from durable materials like polyester or another type of polymer, these tags are equipped with an RFID inlay, allowing them to store and transmit data wirelessly. RFID hang tags are often used in retail, logistics, and asset tracking, where they are looped or hung on items such as clothing, machinery, or equipment. Their flexibility makes them ideal for temporary or reusable applications, offering an efficient way to track and manage inventory, monitor assets, or streamline supply chain operations.

When placing RFID tags, it is crucial to avoid locations that can interfere with their readability or functionality. Placing RFID tags on or near metal surfaces can cause signal reflection and attenuation, reducing read range and accuracy. Similarly, tags should not be positioned on or surrounded by liquid, as water absorbs RFID signals, especially those in the high-frequency (HF) or ultra-high-frequency (UHF) ranges. Additionally, dense or compact placements with overlapping tags can lead to signal collisions and hinder scanning efficiency. Tags should also be kept away from areas exposed to excessive heat, abrasion, or harsh chemicals unless specifically designed to withstand such conditions. Proper placement ensures optimal performance and avoids issues with data collection or signal degradation.

RFID hang tags work by utilizing radio-frequency identification technology to transmit and receive data wirelessly. Each hang tag contains an RFID inlay, which store and broadcast information when powered by an RFID reader’s electromagnetic signal. The reader sends out radio waves that energize the tag’s antenna, enabling the chip to send back stored data, such as a unique identification number or specific product details. This process occurs in milliseconds, allowing for quick and efficient scanning without requiring direct line-of-sight, as with traditional barcodes. RFID hang tags are particularly useful for applications like inventory management, asset tracking, and retail, as they can be attached to items and provide accurate, real-time data over short to medium distances.
