Product Overview
13.56MHz RFID book label tags are high-frequency adhesive labels engineered for modern library management systems and media asset tracking. Compliant with the ISO15693 international standard, these HF RFID library labels are compatible with the world's leading library automation platforms including SirsiDynix, Innovative, and Ex Libris.
Featuring ICODE SLIX and ICODE SLIX2 chips from NXP Semiconductors, the tags deliver reliable read/write performance with up to 1024 bits of user memory (SLIX) or 2528 bits (SLIX2), and 10-year data retention. The thin, flexible construction ensures seamless embedding into book covers, DVD cases, and archival folders without affecting appearance.
Available in standard sizes (50×50mm, 81×49mm) and fully customizable dimensions, these library RFID book labels support thermal transfer printing, pre-printing with barcodes and QR codes, and OEM/ODM requirements for any scale deployment. As a dedicated RFID book label supplier, RFIDSU provides turnkey ISO15693 label solutions from chip selection to final delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ICODE SLIX and ICODE SLIX2?
Both are ISO15693 RFID chips from NXP designed for library book management. ICODE SLIX provides 1024 bits of user memory, ideal for standard library applications. ICODE SLIX2 offers 2528 bits with enhanced security features including password protection and enhanced AFI/DSFID functions — recommended for high-security libraries or media collections.
Are these labels compatible with existing library management systems?
Yes. Our 13.56MHz HF RFID book labels use the ISO15693 protocol, the globally recognized standard for library RFID systems. They are compatible with major library management software including SirsiDynix Symphony, Innovative Millennium/Sierra, Ex Libris Alma, and most SIP2/NCIP-enabled platforms.
Can I print barcodes or my library logo on these tags?
Absolutely. We offer thermal transfer printable versions as well as fully pre-printed labels with your library barcode, logo, or sequential serial numbers. Great for library cataloging workflows and item identification.
What is the read range for these book labels?
ISO15693 RFID book labels typically achieve 2–50 cm read range depending on reader antenna size and power. Standard library desktop readers read at 5–30 cm; fixed-installation security gates can read up to 50 cm for book anti-theft detection.
Do you offer OEM/ODM library label production?
Yes, we are a dedicated RFID book label supplier offering full OEM/ODM service. Custom size, chip, printing, encoding, and packaging available. Minimum order quantities apply; please contact us for custom library RFID project quotes and free samples.
