Robust RFID Tags for Challenging Environments
Robust RFID Tags passive RFID transponders are engineered for environments where ordinary tags fail. Designed to resist water, chemicals, shock, UV, and extreme temperatures up to 285°F (140°C), these rugged tags perform consistently across demanding industries including manufacturing, logistics, and outdoor asset tracking. With options in Low Frequency (LF), High Frequency (HF/NFC), and Ultrahigh Frequency (RAIN® UHF), IN Tags offer versatile integration across various surfaces — from plastic and glass to wood and metal. Select HF models are certified for use in explosive environments (ATEX/IECEx), and FRAM-based versions provide radiation resistance and write endurance up to 10 billion cycles.

Types of Material
PPA Polyphthalamide [ISO 1874: PA6T/6I-GF50]
These robust RFID tags are housed in high-performance PPA (Polyphthalamide), specifically ISO 1874: PA6T/6I-GF50—a glass-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic known for exceptional mechanical strength, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. This material ensures long-term performance in harsh environments including exposure to fuels, lubricants, extreme temperatures, and physical stress.
Types of Detailing on Labels/Tags
Logo Printing
Enhance your brand visibility with custom logo printing available on both the front and back of the labels, ensuring a professional and recognizable design for all your products.
Sequential Numbering
Add unique sequential numbers on the label or release paper for accurate tracking, identification, and enhanced operational efficiency.
Encoding Data
Securely encode essential information directly onto the label, allowing for quick access and accurate tracking of product details, inventory, and more.
