RFID and NFC labels

RFID and NFC labels are read without contact and are used for inventory, traceability and access control. This category covers UHF RFID labels and inlays and NFC labels, in paper, PET or versions for metal surfaces, made to the customer's specification: size, chip, face material, adhesive, printing and encoding.

Three types have their own page: tamper-evident NFC labels, UHF on-metal RFID tags and UHF RFID paper labels. All other formats, from windshield tags to laundry tags, are quoted on request and listed further down. Made or sourced to your specification, with the specification and data you provide; if you already have a drawing, an encoding file or a sample, attach it to your enquiry.

Typical sectors are logistics and e-commerce, fashion and textiles, retail and hospitality, automotive and machinery, and laboratory and cold chain (non-medical use). These are electronic products with their own regulatory notices (RED, RoHS, WEEE), set out on this page. Lead time and price are confirmed in the offer.

Types and materials

Adhesive NFC label on a box lid being read with a smartphone

Tamper-evident NFC labels

NFC label with an anti-transfer structure and tamper-loop detection, which can carry the NTAG 424 DNA chip with a dynamic-signature URL. It comes with a serial and batch file and a verification page.

Rigid UHF RFID tag screwed onto a metal part

On-metal UHF RFID tags

On-metal UHF tags, flexible (foam or PET) or rigid (ABS or FR4 board), fixed with adhesive, screws or rivets. They are specified for the shape of the asset and the type of metal.

UHF RFID paper labels

Adhesive UHF labels in paper or PET, with dry or wet inlay, made to size, chip, adhesive and print. They can be supplied with EPC/SGTIN encoding and serialized numbering.

Other types on request

One line per format. For any of them, request a quote stating use, surface and quantity. Need another custom RFID or NFC format? Describe the use and environment and we will look into it.

Electronic product: regulations to consider

RFID and NFC labels contain a chip and an antenna. The rules usually consulted include Directive 2014/53/EU (RED), Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS), Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE) and Spain's Royal Decree 110/2015. Their scope for labels is open to different interpretations and the obligations depend on the final product; the customer assesses them with their own adviser.

This page does not state that any model carries CE marking or a RED declaration of conformity. Only the name and number of each rule are cited.

Frequently asked questions

What are RFID labels and what are they used for?

They are labels with a chip and an antenna that are read without contact. They are used in inventory, traceability and access control, and can be made of paper, PET or designed for metal surfaces.

NFC label or QR code: which to choose?

It depends on the use. A QR code is read with the phone camera; an NFC label is read by bringing the phone close and, with the NTAG 424 DNA chip, supports a URL with a dynamic signature validated on a server. They can also be combined on one label: chip plus printed QR code.

What is the difference between UHF RFID and NFC?

UHF RFID (EPC Gen2, ISO/IEC 18000-63; in the EU, the 865–868 MHz band) is used in inventory and logistics. NFC (13.56 MHz, ISO/IEC 14443-A) is read by bringing a phone close to the label. The choice depends on the use and the reader available.

Do you sell NFC or RFID labels to private individuals?

No. We only serve business orders (B2B), with design and specification defined for each customer.
