A PCB on-metal tag is designed to work on metal surfaces where normal RFID tags fail. This guide explains how these tags work, their common uses, benefits, challenges, and tips for choosing and installing them for better asset tracking.

NFC and HF RFID both run at 13.56 MHz and excel at short-range, controlled “tap” experiences, from access cards to smart packaging you can read with a phone. They’re globally interoperable and behave more predictably near liquids than UHF, making them a smart fit for many EU projects.   

Standard RFID labels fail on metal because metal detunes the antenna. On-metal labels with foam spacers or ferrite backing isolate the antenna to restore reads. Foam gives stronger distance with extra thickness, while ferrite delivers a low-profile option for tight spaces.

UHF and NFC are both RFID technologies with very different strengths. UHF excels in long-range tracking and bulk scanning for logistics and inventory, while NFC is designed for short-range, smartphone-friendly interactions like contactless payments and product engagement. Choosing the right one depends on your specific business needs.

An RFID laundry tag is a small, durable device with a radio-frequency chip designed to endure industrial laundering conditions like heat, water, and chemicals. Sewn or sealed into textiles such as hotel linens or uniforms, it enables wireless scanning and automated tracking throughout the laundry process.

UHF RFID labels and tags deliver long-range, high-speed tracking ideal for warehouses, retail, healthcare, and logistics. With global EPC Gen2 standards and bulk reading capabilities, they outperform traditional systems and enhance automation and inventory accuracy across diverse applications.
