FAQs:

What are TagMatiks Pre-printed/Pre-encoded On Metal RFID Labels (3.9" x 1.6")?

These are UHF RFID labels engineered for metal surfaces, designed with a large form factor to support longer read ranges and better performance. They come pre-printed with human-readable information and pre-encoded with a unique EPC code for easy deployment.

Why is this label ideal for metal surfaces?

These labels include a special isolating foam or material backing that mitigates signal interference from metal, ensuring reliable RFID performance when applied to metal equipment, tools, or infrastructure.

What type of RFID chip is used?

The label typically uses a chip like the Impinj M730 known for:

• High sensitivity
• Fast inventory speeds
• 128 bit EPC memory
• Industry-standard compliance

Can I reprogram or modify these labels?

No. These labels are pre-encoded and usually locked, meaning the EPC code and printed information are fixed. They’re ideal for quick implementation in asset tracking systems without the need for encoding equipment.

What are the physical specifications?

Dimensions: 3.9" (L) x 1.6" (W) x 0.06" (H)

• Material: Durable synthetic face stock with a foam or isolator backing
• Adhesive: High-strength permanent adhesive for metal bonding
• Finish: Pre-printed with barcode and ID text

What types of assets are these labels best for?

This label is suited for larger metal assets, such as:

• Industrial machinery and equipment
• Large IT infrastructure (servers, cabinets)
• Utility poles and pipes
• Automotive and aerospace components
• Construction tools and heavy-duty tools

Are these labels weatherproof or industrial grade?

Yes. These labels are designed for rugged environments, offering durability, chemical resistance, and outdoor stability, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor industrial use.

Are they tamper-evident?

No. These are not tamper-evident. If you need a label that shows visible signs of removal, consider TagMatiks tamper-evident on-metal RFID labels.

Are these labels compatible with my RFID system?

Yes. They are fully compliant with EPC Class 1 Gen 2 / ISO 18000-6C standards, making them compatible with most UHF RFID readers and platforms, including TagMatiks AT and AT Lite.

Where is the best location to attach the TagMatiks Pre-printed/Pre-encoded On Metal RFID Label (3.9" x 1.6")?

Answer:
The TagMatiks On Metal RFID Label (3.9" x 1.6") is specifically engineered for metal surfaces and performs best when affixed directly to flat, clean metal assets such as equipment, tools, machinery, IT hardware, and metal containers. Before application, ensure the metal surface is free of dust, oil, rust, and moisture to ensure strong adhesion and optimal read performance. The label should be placed in an area with minimal obstructions to allow a clear path for RFID signal transmission. Avoid placing the label on curved or uneven surfaces unless verified for compatibility.

What is the read range of the TagMatiks Pre-printed/Pre-encoded On Metal RFID Label (3.9" x 1.6")?

Answer:
The TagMatiks On Metal RFID Label (3.9" x 1.6") offers an excellent read range of up to 18-20 feet (approximately 5.5 to 6 meters) when used with a high-performance fixed UHF RFID reader and properly mounted on a metal surface. The read range can vary depending on the reader’s power output, antenna configuration, and the surrounding environment. When using a handheld RFID reader, the typical read range is 8 to 15 feet, depending on the reader model and orientation. For best results, test in the actual usage environment.
