MASON CITY, IOWA (May 2, 2007) – Metalcraft expanded its RFID products to include adhesive labels, flag tags, hang tags, and mount-on-metal labels.The four RFID product constructions are intended for use and re-use in demanding environments and offer read ranges up to 25 feet. Each product is customizable with variable data printed on the subsurface and programming of the RFID inlays. The standardized RFID products feature inlays from Alien, Avery Dennison, Rafsec and KSW Microtec.The new flag tag, an adhesive label with a non-adhesive, folding tab that offsets the inlay, is especially useful for blade servers and other metal-surfaced assets or liquid storage containers.
“Metalcraft’s standard constructions build on seven years of experience engineering custom, durable RFID labels for fixed and mobile assets,” said Metalcraft president Steve Doerfler. “The flag tag and the other designs are refined product constructions that we’ve standardized in order to deliver them faster and at a lower cost.” “Metalcraft continues to develop custom RFID products using whatever materials the customer and situation requires,” said Doefler. “Metalcraft is known as an RFID converter that adds a lot of value; we continue to be a resource for integrators and end users who have RFID challenges requiring custom solutions.”
