Project Description
T he On-Site Printable Universal Mini RFID tag is specifically designed to allow easy printing and encoding of RFID tags ondemand, providing a reliable, cost-effective solution for all your on-site printing RFID asset tag needs.
Whether your printer is located on the manufacturing floor or in a climate-controlled space, our On-Site Printable Universal Mini RFID tags have been constructed to reliably print and encode regardless of the printing location.
With a small footprint and low profile, these tags easily fit in smaller places and on assets where other tags may be too large. Developed using the same premise as our original Universal RFID Asset Tag, the tag utilizes a patented inlay design and passive RFID technology to obtain incredible read ranges on a variety of different materials – metal, plastic, and even wood.
Our customizable adhesive options allow you to pick the best attachment adhesive for your project ensuring your tags will stay in place throughout the tracking lifecycle.
The On-Site Printable Universal Mini RFID tag is also able to be shipped the next day for a quick turnaround for your onsite printing needs. Delivered in convenient 500-piece rolls that load easily into industry-leading industrial thermal transfer printers, like SATO & Zebra brands, the On-Site Printable Universal Mini is easy to set up configure and maintain.
Smaller footprint and lower profile while still achieving excellent read range sets this product apart from others
Patented inlay design obtains excellent read ranges regardless of surface–metal, plastic, even wood

Chemical Test Summary
The Onsite Printable Universal Mini tags were attached to a sheet of glass submerged in various chemicals for a 3 week period. Observations were made at the following intervals: 2 hours, 24 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, and 3 weeks. A Motorola handheld RFID reader was used to test the samples.

High-temperature resistance test - These tags were attached to a sheet of glass at raised temperatures for 10 minutes. Tags were then removed from the oven and tested for readability immediately.
Low-temperature resistance test - The Onsite Printable Universal Mini tags were attached to a sheet of glass at low temperatures outdoors.
Tags were then checked for readability with a Motorola handheld RFID reader. Tags survived and were readable for 19 hours in Iowa winter conditions with temperatures between -21 to -26°F with no signs of failure.
