Project Description
Controlling vehicle access to individual locations – whether it’s corporate facilities, gated communities, or downtown parking lots – can be a challenge. Eliminate the need for on-site staff and the hassle of stopping for a card reader with Metalcraft’s RFID Windshield Tag.
Unlike other windshield tags on the market, the idtracon RFID Windshield Tag utilizes passive RFID UHF technology offering a more economical option to the active windshield tags available. Encased between thin layers of polyester, the specialized inlay doesn’t require a standoff to read either through or on a glass windshield. This product provides a read range of approximately 18+ feet. A tamper-evident option with strategically placed slits in the label and adhesive layers is also available at no additional cost.
Specialized inlays read well through windshield glass
Unlimited color options with choice of up to four standard or custom colors
Digital printing process provides for greater print capability with detailed logos or special designs
High frequency (HF) RFID Tags available
Double-sided registered option available
Specification Data
Material | Polyester |
Serialization | Bar code and human-readable equivalent is produced using the latest high-resolution digital technology available, which provides excellent clarity and easy scanning. Code 39 is the standard symbology with a range of 2.7 to 9.4 CPI (characters per inch). Optional symbologies are available. |
Label Copy | The label copy may include block type, stylized type, logos or other designs. All copy, block type, logos, designs, and bar code are subsurface printed. This unique process provides excellent resistance to solvents, caustics, acids and moderate abrasion. |
