Summary
This document is a white paper that outlines best practices for RFID smart label printing and encoding. It discusses the importance of accurate RFID encoding in supply chain operations and the potential errors that can arise from improper tag data association. The paper details the components of printable RFID tags, including the integrated circuit and antenna, and explains the differences between high frequency and ultra-high frequency tags. It emphasizes the significance of selecting the right media for RFID systems to ensure data integrity and minimize interference. The document also covers the importance of using on-pitch RFID printers, which encode tags at the same pitch as specified by the inlay manufacturer, thus eliminating additional processes that can increase costs. Furthermore, it advises against using foil or metal-based media due to their potential to interfere with RF signals and highlights the need for careful management of printer settings and placement to optimize performance. Overall, the white paper serves as a comprehensive guide for improving RFID smart label printing operations.
