FAQs:

What are TagMatiks Kickstart 4" x 2" RFID Labels?

These are UHF RFID labels designed as part of the TagMatiks Kickstart program, which offers pre-printed and pre-encoded RFID labels for easy, out-of-the-box use in asset tracking, inventory control, and basic RFID adoption initiatives.

What are the dimensions of these labels?

Each label measures 4 inches wide by 2 inches high, providing a large surface area for printing barcodes, asset IDs, or branding, while also housing a powerful RFID inlay for strong read performance.

What makes these "Kickstart" labels different from standard RFID labels?

Kickstart labels are:

• Pre-printed and pre-encoded with unique EPCs
• Designed for quick RFID onboarding
• Ideal for pilot projects or small-scale deployments
• Paired with the TagMatiks AT or AT Lite platforms for seamless use

What is the read range of these RFID labels?

These labels typically achieve read ranges of 15–20 feet (4.5–6 meters) with standard UHF RFID readers, depending on surface type and environmental conditions.

What RFID chip is used in these labels?

• They often include the NXP U8 chip, which offers:
• High sensitivity
• Fast inventory speeds
• EPC memory (128 bits)
• Depending on project requirements these labels can also be provided with other chips like M830, U9 or M781. Please contact us if you have any specific chip requirement.

What surfaces are these labels compatible with?

These labels are designed for non-metal surfaces such as:

• Plastic
• Cardboard
• Glass
• Wood
• Painted or coated surfaces

Note: For metal surfaces, use on-metal RFID labels instead.

Are these labels printable or re-encodable?

No. They are pre-printed and pre-encoded, meaning you cannot change the data or design. They are meant for quick implementation and evaluation purposes.

What use cases are ideal for these labels?

They are perfect for:

• RFID pilot programs
• Education and training environments
• Warehouse and inventory trials
• IT asset tracking
• Tool and document tracking

Are these labels durable or weather-resistant?

They offer moderate durability, with a synthetic face material and strong adhesive for indoor and light industrial use. For outdoor or rugged environments, consider rugged or laminated RFID tags.

Are these labels compatible with my RFID system?

Yes. They comply with EPC Gen 2 / ISO 18000-6C standards, making them compatible with most UHF RFID readers and software systems, including TagMatiks AT Lite and Enterprise.

Where is the best location to attach the TagMatiks Kickstart 4" x 2" RFID Label?

Answer:
The TagMatiks Kickstart 4" x 2" RFID Labels are designed for use on non-metallic surfaces such as corrugated boxes, plastic totes, wood crates, or paper-based assets. For optimal performance, the label should be applied to a flat, smooth, and clean surface that is free of dust, oil, and moisture. These labels are ideal for tagging items in inventory management, shipping, and warehouse operations. Avoid placing the label directly on metal surfaces or near liquids, as those materials can interfere with the radio frequency signal and reduce read performance.

What is the read range of the TagMatiks Kickstart 4" x 2" RFID Label?

Answer:
Under ideal conditions, the TagMatiks Kickstart 4" x 2" RFID Label can provide a read range of up to 15-20 feet (approximately 4.5 to 6 meters) when used with a high-performance fixed UHF RFID reader. The actual read range may vary depending on the RFID reader's power output, antenna type, and environmental conditions such as nearby interference or tag orientation. With handheld RFID readers, the expected range is typically 6 to 12 feet, depending on the device and scanning angle.
