PCB On-Metal RFID Tags — Built for Industrial Reliability

Our customized PCB On‑Metal UHF RFID Tags are designed to deliver consistent performance under mechanical stress, temperature extremes, and exposure to moisture or chemicals.

Each tag is built on an FR‑4 substrate, the same material used in printed circuit boards. This rigid construction prevents bending or deformation, helping maintain antenna integrity and stable read performance throughout the tag’s lifetime.

Optimized for use on metal surfaces, these tags perform reliably in applications such as IT asset management, warehousing, logistics, tool tracking, and industrial process control.

Why choose a PCB tag over a flexible label?
PCB tags offer superior durability and rigidity. Their FR‑4 construction resists impact, bending, and pressure, protecting the antenna and ensuring consistent performance. Ideal for long-term use on industrial equipment, tools, and returnable assets.

What is FR‑4 material?
FR‑4 is a glass‑reinforced epoxy laminate used in printed circuit boards. It provides strength, low weight, and excellent resistance to heat, chemicals, and moisture.

Can these tags withstand harsh environments?
Yes. Rated IP68 and built for wide temperature ranges, they perform reliably in manufacturing facilities, outdoor operations, and logistics sites.

How are PCB anti metal RFID tags mounted?
They support multiple mounting methods. Use strong industrial adhesive for quick application, or screws and rivets via pre‑drilled holes for permanent installations.

What type of RFID reader is required?
Any UHF reader compliant with EPC Class 1 Gen 2 (ISO 18000‑6C) will work. Most fixed and handheld models support this standard.

Do you offer free samples?
Samples are not free. But sample fees can be deducted from the cost of the first order.
