Perfect for tracking returnable containers such as pallets, crates or totes, Metalcraft’s Standard RFID Tag attaches directly to non-metal assets. The tag’s construction protects the inlay by sealing it from environmental conditions that could affect the RFID tag’s performance while subsurface printing includes variable data such as barcode and/or human readable numbers.

All Metalcraft RFID tags are designed with our proven durability, ready to withstand repeated usage in rugged environments, generating a greater ROI for your business. Each tag can be programmed to match the variable information printed on the label. Subsurface digital printing is available which ensures crisp details on even the most complex logos for maximum clarity. Four color processing is available for limitless color and design options.

Potential Applications for RFID Labels

Asset Tracking – the asset id number programmed into the RFID tag plus the barcode and human readable number Metalcraft’s Standard RFID Tags can be used to track information about the asset the tag is adhered to, i.e., laptops, furniture, containers, pallets, equipment and more. 

For more information check out our case study, Ready Set, Action!

Returnable Containers – Metalcraft’s Standard RFID Tags are perfect for tracking both the non-metal returnable container itself such as pallets, bins, racks as well as the contents of the containers themselves. Automate the process completely using a portal or fixed RFID reader.

Work-in-Process – the number programmed into the RFID tag plus the barcode and human readable on Metalcraft’s Standard RFID Tags can identify a “batch” OR “lot” of product or just simply identify each product obtaining reads at every data collection point as it travels through the production process.

Stick & Staple RFID Tag

DuraDestruct RFID Tags - Plastic

DuraDestruct RFID Security Tag's specialized construction eliminates the transferability of the RFID tag and incorporates two levels of destructibility. If someone attempts to remove the tag the RFID antenna construction breaks into separate pieces making the read range of the tag mere inches. The portion that is still adhered to will literally disintegrate if an attempt is made to remove it from the object.

RFID Flex Hard Tags

Metalcraft’s RFID Flex Hard Tags are specifically designed for assets that need a rugged, yet flexible, polymer RFID tag that is more cost effective than traditional hard tags and has a reliable, consistent read range performance.

Reusable containers, pallets and other mobile assets are exposed to a wide variety of environment and working conditions. Abrasion, UV exposure, dirt and moisture can affect the durability and longevity of your RFID tags.

The RFID Flex Hard Tag is made of high performance, pliable polyester that provides more strength and rigidity than a traditional RFID polyester label but is more formable than a metal or hard plastic tag.

The RFID Flex Hard Tag is ideal for returnable pallets, plastic crates, containers, utility poles or for embedding in injected molded products.

Along with a read range of 22-24 ft on most applications, the RFID Flex Hard Tag is versatile and durable enough for almost any returnable container or harsh environment RFID tracking project.
