About Micro RFID Tags 

A micro RFID tag is a miniature version of a standard tag, designed for applications where space is limited or where discrete tagging is required. Despite their small size, these tags are capable of storing and transmitting data effectively, making them ideal for tracking small or high-value items such as electronics, medical devices, and luxury goods.

Micro RFID tags are also used in applications like inventory management of small components, anti-counterfeiting measures, and even animal tracking. Their compact form factor allows them to be embedded within products or attached to items inconspicuously, providing robust tracking capabilities without compromising on performance.

Using a micro RFID tag offers significant advantages in scenarios where space is at a premium or discrete tracking is essential. These tags, despite their small size, provide robust data storage and transmission capabilities, making them ideal for tracking small, high-value items like electronics, medical devices, and luxury goods.

Micro RFID tags are perfect for inventory management of tiny components, enhancing accuracy and efficiency. Their compact size allows for seamless embedding within products or inconspicuous attachment, providing effective tracking and anti-counterfeiting measures without compromising the aesthetic or functionality of the item. This makes micro RFID tags a versatile and powerful tool in various applications.

The only thing “mini” about this tag is its size! With a smaller footprint and lower profile, the Onsite Printable Universal Mini RFID Tag easily fits where other tags may be too large and obtrusive and still gives incredible read ranges compared to other tags in its class. Developed the same as our Universal Mini RFID Tag – but now you can reap the benefits of onsite printing.

The Onsite Printable Universal Mini RFID Tag is a surface-independent tag that uses a patented inlay design and passive RFID technology to obtain excellent read ranges regardless of the surface – metal, plastic, even wood. Along with the Universal Mini RFID Tag, the Universal RFID Hard Tag, Universal Micro RFID Tag and the Universal MC RFID Tag, these products make up a revolutionary product line that allows you to use only one RFID tag for your asset tracking application.

This unique inlay adheres to a thermal transfer printing receptive substrate constructed from a variety of durable materials.

Potential Applications for Onsite Printable Universal Mini RFID Tags

Asset Tracking – the barcode and human readable ID number on Onsite Printable Universal Mini RFID Tag can be used to track information about the metal asset the RFID tag is adhered to, i.e., laptops, furniture, containers, equipment and more. 

Work-in-Process – the barcode and/or identification number on Onsite Printable Universal Mini RFID Tag can identify a “batch” OR “lot” of product or just simply identify each product as it travels through the production process.

The Universal Micro RFID Tag measuring 1 7/8” x 5/8” is a great solution to your identification projects that require the smallest RFID tag with great read range. With a tiny footprint and low profile, the Universal Micro RFID Tag easily fits where other tags are too big and obtrusive.

Achieving up to 9 ft read range on metal and 4-5 ft on plastic, wood, and glass, the Universal Micro provides incredible read ranges compared to other tags in its class. It’s non-rigid, durable, foam core and polyester construction sets the Universal RFID Micro apart from molded tags allowing for greater flexibility in tag placement.

Developed using the same premise as our original Universal RFID Asset Tag, the Universal Micro Tag is a surface-independent using a patent inlay design and passive RFID technology to obtain excellent read ranges regardless of mounting surface.

Along with the Universal RFID Asset Tag, Universal RFID Hard Tag, and Universal Mini, these products make a revolutionary product line that allows you to use only one RFID tag for your asset tracking applications.

Subsurface printing the Universal Micro RFID Tag protects any copy, logo, and/or barcode against moderate solvents and caustics. Additionally, our four-color processing capabilities allow you to promote your company with a label that shows off your company’s logo and style.

What are Micro RFID Tags?

Micro RFID tags are small RFID device with a chip and antenna that communicates with an RFID reader through radio waves. They typically have a small footprint, like the 1 7/8" x 5/8" Universal Micro RFID Tag from Metalcraft, and is often used in applications where space is limited or where the RFID tag must be unobtrusive.

How do you select the best small RFID Tag?

Choosing the best small RFID tag depends on several factors related to your specific application requirements. Here's a guide to help you select the most suitable small tag:

1. Size: Consider the dimensions of the tag and ensure it fits the size constraints of your assets or items. Small RFID tags are ideal for applications where space is limited or discreet tagging is required.
2. Read Range: Determine the required read range for your application. Some small RFID tags have shorter read ranges compared to larger ones. Ensure that the selected tag offers sufficient read range to meet your needs.
3. Frequency: Choose the appropriate RFID frequency based on your application requirements. Common RFID frequencies include Low Frequency (LF), High Frequency (HF), and Ultra-High Frequency (UHF). UHF RFID tags are often preferred for their longer read ranges and faster data transfer rates.
4.  Material and Environment: Assess the environmental conditions in which the tags will be used. Ensure that the tags are suitable for indoor or outdoor environments, as well as factors such as temperature, moisture, and exposure to chemicals or harsh elements.
5. Attachment Method: Consider how the RFID tags will be attached to your assets or items. Some small tags come with adhesive backing for easy attachment, while others may require alternative attachment methods such as rivets, screws, or cable ties.
6. Durability and Lifespan: Evaluate the durability and lifespan of the RFID tags, especially if they will be used in rugged or high-impact environments. Look for tags that are resistant to water, chemicals, abrasion, and temperature extremes to ensure long-term reliability.
7. Data Capacity: Determine the required data capacity of the tags based on the information you need to store and retrieve. Some small RFID tags offer limited memory capacity, while others support higher data storage capabilities.
8. Cost: Consider the cost-effectiveness of the RFID tags, taking into account factors such as tag price, volume discounts, and total cost of ownership over the tags' lifespan.

By carefully evaluating these factors and choosing RFID tags that align with your specific application requirements, you can select the best small RFID tag for your needs and achieve optimal performance and efficiency in your RFID system.
