When standard RFID tags are too large, rigid, or unable to withstand your process conditions, our miniature FPC On-Metal tag stickers provide the perfect solution. Utilizing flexible printed circuit technology, these tags feature a high-density copper-etched antenna built on a durable polyimide base, delivering an exceptionally small, lightweight, and flexible form factor.

The key advantage of FPC tags is their dynamic bending capability combined with reliable signal strength, even under mechanical stress. Rated for extreme temperatures up to 280°C, they are ideal for embedding in small objects or encapsulation within silicone or plastic housings.

FPC Anti-Metal RFID Tag Key Features

  • Micro-Miniature Form Factor: Sizes start as small as 8mm diameter, suitable for tight spaces.
  • High-Temperature Resistance: Operates from -30°C to +280°C, fitting harsh industrial environments.
  • Flexible & Bendable: Polyimide substrate conforms easily to curved or uneven surfaces.
  • Optional On-Metal Shielding: Ferrite layer option ensures consistent performance on metal.
  • Multi-Frequency Support: Available in HF/NFC (13.56 MHz) and UHF (860-960 MHz) versions.
  • High Reliability: Copper antenna design delivers a strong, stable signal.

What is an FPC tag?
FPC stands for “Flexible Printed Circuit”. Instead of a traditional rigid inlay, our FPC tags use a copper-etched antenna on a flexible polyimide (PI) base, allowing for a much smaller, lighter, and more durable tag.

What is the main advantage of an FPC tag?
Key benefits include its micro size, light weight, and high flexibility. Designed to bend dynamically, it fits into spaces no other tag can reach without compromising signal strength or reliability.

Can this tag work on metal surfaces?
Yes. An optional ferrite shielding layer can be added to the tag to block metal interference and ensure reliable performance on metal or non-metal surfaces.

How heat resistant is the tag, and why does this matter?
FPC tags withstand temperatures up to 280°C, making them ideal for high-temperature processes like silicone molding or plastic encapsulation, enabling permanent embedding inside housings.

Do you provide customization and samples for testing?
Absolutely. We offer custom chip programming, size adjustment, adhesive backing options, and can provide samples for testing. Contact our sales team for project consultation and wholesale pricing.
