RFID “Smart” Media
(for use with
RFID-capable print
engines only)
Each label has a radio frequency identification
(RFID) chip and antenna inlay embedded
between the label and the liner. The media is
made from the same materials and adhesives as
non-RFID labels. The outline of the transponder
(which varies by manufacturer) can be seen
through the label. All “smart” labels have
memory that can be read, and many have
memory that can be encoded.
