FAQs:

What are TagMatiks Pre-printed/Pre-encoded On Metal RFID Labels (2.36" x 0.24")?

These are ultra-slim UHF RFID labels designed specifically for metallic surfaces. They come pre-printed with human-readable data and pre-encoded with a unique EPC, allowing for rapid deployment in asset tracking workflows.

Why are these labels designed with such a narrow profile?

The compact size—only 0.24 inches wide—makes them ideal for tagging small, curved, or narrow metal surfaces such as surgical instruments, metal pipes, hand tools, or electronic components.

How do these RFID labels perform on metal surfaces?

They are engineered with a special insulating layer that enables reliable performance on metal. Despite their size, they typically provide a read range of 4–6 feet (1.2–1.8 meters) when applied to a conductive surface.

Are these labels rewritable or programmable?

No. These are pre-encoded and usually locked, meaning they contain a permanent EPC number. They are meant for plug-and-play use in environments where manual encoding or printing is impractical.

What RFID chip is used in this label?

• The label typically uses NXP U8.
• High read sensitivity
• accurate and fast inventory
• EPC memory (128 bits)
• 96-bit Unique Tag Identifier (TID)

What are the physical specifications?

• Dimensions: 2.36" (L) x 0.24" (W) x 0.04" (H)
• Material: Durable synthetic face stock
• Adhesive: High-performance permanent adhesive
• Design: Ultra-low-profile for space-constrained tagging

What types of assets are these tags best suited for?

These slim RFID tags are great for:

• Medical and dental instruments
• Power tools and small equipment
• Cylindrical or narrow metallic parts
• Laboratory items
• Aerospace and defense components

Are these labels rugged or waterproof?

They are intended for indoor or controlled environments and offer light industrial durability. For harsh outdoor or high-moisture environments, a ruggedized RFID tag is recommended.

Are these labels tamper-evident?

No, this specific label is not tamper-evident. If tamper detection is required, consider TagMatiks tamper-evident RFID labels, which are designed to break or show signs of removal.

Are they compatible with my existing RFID system?

Yes. These labels follow the EPC Gen 2 / ISO 18000-6C standard, making them compatible with most UHF RFID readers and software platforms, including the TagMatiks AT and AT Lite solutions.

Where is the best location to attach the TagMatiks Pre-printed/Pre-encoded On Metal RFID Label (2.36" x 0.24")?

Answer:
The TagMatiks on Metal RFID Label (2.36" x 0.24") is designed for attachment to small or narrow metal surfaces such as pipes, cables, metal bars, or tools. For best results, attach the label to a clean, flat, and dry metal surface to ensure strong adhesion and optimal read performance. Make sure the surface is free from dust, oil, rust, or moisture before applying. Avoid placing the label on highly curved or irregular surfaces unless the tag’s flexibility supports it.

What is the read range of the TagMatiks Pre-printed/Pre-encoded On Metal RFID Label (2.36" x 0.24")?

Answer:
When used with a compatible fixed UHF RFID reader, the TagMatiks on Metal RFID Label (2.36" x 0.24") can achieve a read range of up to 7-8.5 feet (approximately2-2.5 meters). The actual read distance will depend on factors such as reader power, antenna setup, tag orientation, and environmental conditions. Handheld readers typically have a shorter range, generally 4 to 5 feet, depending on the device and scanning angle.
