RFID Smart Labels

The Process

Weber is an expert at manufacturing labels. We use the latest high-speed flexographic presses to produce rolls of blank and printed pressure-sensitive labels and tags.

Our innovative method of inserting the RFID inlays fits seamlessly within that conversion process. And because we manufacture the RFID smart labels ourselves, we're able to offer RFID media that will maximize performance and minimize costs.

All SmartTrak RFID labels are produced using fully tested RFID inlays from trusted sources like Avery Dennison, Alien Technology, and UPM Rafsec. Every label is certified and verified to be the highest in quality.

The Expertise
Weber is a full-service, ISO 9001-registered labeling company. We do more than convert label material. We also are expert at recommending the right facestock and adhesive combination for a specific application.

Our facestock materials are available in thermal-transfer and direct thermal papers, film and other synthetic substrates – all of which can be provided in custom shapes and sizes – along with high- or low-tack adhesives. These are important considerations that can contribute to the overall success of an RFID smart label program.

Also critical is the selection of the optimum RFID inlay. We can help you determine which inlay will deliver the best performance for the intended application. And we'll guarantee its performance.

The Technology of RFID

RFID smart labeling is an emerging means of product identification that has been adopted by retailers and governmental agencies to track the movement of products throughout the supply chain.

A smart label is a pressure-sensitive label with an RFID transponder (inlay) embedded between the label face stock and its release liner. This RFID tag can be encoded with large amounts of variable information which can be gathered by an RFID reader. Unlike bar codes, RFID data can be accessed without the visibility of the tag itself, and multiple RFID smart labels can be read at the same time.

Various standards have been developed by EPCglobal Inc. to support the use of RFID in today's data rich trading networks. Weber has the capability to supply RFID smart labels that will meet both established and emerging standards.
