Product Overview

These thin, flexible UHF RFID labels are engineered to perform reliably on metal surfaces where conventional RFID tags fail. Using advanced shielding materials and a flexible antenna design, they maintain stable read performance even when applied directly to curved pipes, cylinders, metal containers, and fixed assets.

Available in multiple standard sizes from 30×15mm to 100×40mm, with chip options including Impinj Monza R6-P, Impinj M4QT, and NXP UCode 8. Each label is printable with standard RFID printers — supporting barcodes, serial numbers, and custom graphics directly on the label surface.

Widely used in asset management, IT equipment tracking, industrial maintenance, and medical device management.

Key Features

Flexible Design
Bends to curved or irregular metal surfaces for secure, flat adhesion — ideal for pipes, cylinders, and non-flat mounts.
On-Metal Performance
Special shielding layer ensures stable UHF reading directly on metal — no dead zones, no read failures on tagged assets.
Multiple Chip Options
Impinj R6-P, M4QT, and NXP UCode 8 available — choose based on memory needs, security requirements, or pricing preference.
Directly Printable
White PET surface supports thermal transfer printing. Compatible with Zebra ZT410 Silverline, Sato CL4NX, Printronix T4000, Postek Tx3r.
Wide Temperature Range
Operates from -40°C to +85°C — suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments including factories, warehouses, and outdoor pipelines.
Multi-Size Available
Standard sizes from 30×15mm to 100×40mm — 9 standard sizes available, custom sizes supported to meet specific application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this label be applied to curved metal surfaces?
Yes — the thin, flexible PET construction allows the label to bend to curved pipes, cylinders, and irregular metal shapes. The shielding layer ensures stable RFID reading regardless of surface curvature.
What is the read range on metal surfaces?
Read range varies by label size. For example, the 30×15mm label achieves up to 0.7m on metal, while larger sizes such as 95×22mm and 100×40mm can reach up to 8m on metal with a standard handheld reader. Please refer to our size chart for full details.
Which chip should I choose?
Impinj R6-P is recommended for most standard tracking applications. Choose NXP UCode 8 if you need extended user memory. M4QT offers enhanced security features for sensitive asset tracking.
Can I print directly on the label surface?
Yes — the white PET surface supports thermal transfer printing. Compatible with Zebra ZT410 Silverline, Sato CL4NX, Printronix T4000, Postek Tx3r, and other standard RFID printers for barcodes, serial numbers, and logos.
What environments is this label suitable for?
Operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use including warehouses, factories, outdoor pipelines, and oil & gas environments.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 1,000 pcs. For custom sizes or chip configurations, please contact us for pricing and lead time.
