Project Description
Perfect for applications that need a bit more than just adhesive, idtracon’s Stick & Staple RFID Tag attaches directly to assets with adhesive with the added option of stapling the tag, ensuring the tag stays attached to those hard-to-adhere surfaces while not damaging the inlay.
Ideal for wood and cardboard applications, the tag’s construction protects the inlay by sealing it from environmental conditions that could affect the performance of the RFID tag while subsurface printing includes variable data such as bar code and/or human-readable numbers.
All idtracon 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 and digital printing allows limitless color and design options.
Ideal for applications involving wood (pallets, crates, barrels, etc) or cardboard
Digital printing process provides for greater print capability with logos or special designs, ensuring crisp details on even the most complex logos for maximum clarity.
- Meets EPCglobal Gen2 (V 1.2.0) as well as ISO/IEC 18000-6C:2004/Amd 1:2006 (type C and update of Types A and B).
Specifications Data
| Material | 2.3 white mil polypropylene |
| 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 symbology is Code 128, I 2 of 5, 2D DataMatrix and QR Code. |
| Label Copy | The label copy may include block type, stylized type, logos or other designs. All copy, block type, stylized type, logos, designs, and bar code are subsurface printed. This unique process provides excellent resistance to solvents, caustics, acids and moderate abrasion. |
| Colors | Standard colors include black, red, yellow, green, dark blue, orange, purple or blue. Custom spot colors are also available at no additional charge. Due to contrast needed for the bar code scanner, all bar codes are black. |
| Standard Adhesive | Permanent acrylic adhesive |
| Frequency Range | UHF = 860-960 MHz; HF = 13.56 MHz |
| Sizes | 101mm x 51mm (size must include a 13mm blank border on all sides to protect inlay from staples) |
| Packaging | Produced and shipped in roll form |
| Shipment | 14 business days |

Temperature Test Data
Samples showed no deterioration after being subject to -40 C ° for 24 hours, and the inlay was still readable with an Alien ALH-9000 handheld reader prior to removal from the freezer.
Samples showed no deterioration when exposed to 65°C, 93°C, and 121°C for 1 hour each.
Samples started showing discoloration after exposure to 150°C for 1 hour, and melted after exposure to 175°C for 1 hour.
The inlay was readable after exposure to 150°C, but was not readable after exposure to 175°C.
Read Range Test Summary
Theoretical read ranges in the Voyantic anechoic chamber based on Alien Squiglette H4 inlay.

Destructive Testing
Burst strength - 25mm wide strip of the tag that included the inlay was stapled to a wooden block and peeled at 180 degrees/305mm per minute with the iMass SP-2100 peel and adhesion tester.
