Label Solutions

Smart Labels

RFID smart labels and inlays for asset tracking, inventory management, logistics, and retail. From raw inlays to fully printed, encoded, ready-to-apply labels.

Smart Label Technology

RFID smart labels combine a thin RFID or NFC inlay with a printable label facestock and adhesive backing. They attach to virtually any surface -- products, packaging, assets, or documents -- to enable wireless identification, tracking, and authentication.

Cardzgroup manufactures smart labels from inlay production through to finished, encoded, and printed labels. We support both High Frequency (13.56 MHz) for short-range NFC applications and Ultra High Frequency (860-960 MHz) for long-range bulk scanning.

Product Range

Six label products covering every stage from raw inlay to finished label.

RFID Wet Inlays

Raw RFID inlays consisting of an antenna and chip on a flexible substrate (PET film). The base component for all label and tag manufacturing, available in rolls for converter integration.

  • PET or paper substrate
  • Roll format (1000-10000 per roll)
  • Pre-tested and encoded
  • Multiple antenna designs

RFID Dry Inlays

Wet inlays laminated between protective layers without adhesive backing. Designed for insertion into paper, cardboard, or plastic substrates during manufacturing.

  • Laminated protection
  • For embedded applications
  • Enhanced durability
  • Tight thickness tolerance

Adhesive RFID Labels

Ready-to-apply pressure-sensitive labels with RFID/NFC chips. Available with permanent or removable adhesive, and printable top surfaces compatible with thermal transfer and direct thermal printers.

  • Pressure-sensitive adhesive
  • Thermal printable surface
  • Permanent or removable
  • Custom shapes and sizes

Printed RFID Labels

Fully finished RFID labels with pre-printed graphics, text, barcodes, and serial numbers. Supplied on rolls or sheets, ready for direct application to products, assets, or packaging.

  • Full-colour printing
  • Barcode + RFID hybrid
  • Variable data / serial numbers
  • Roll or sheet delivery

On-Metal RFID Labels

Specially engineered labels with ferrite or spacer layers that maintain full performance when applied to metallic surfaces. Essential for IT asset tracking and industrial equipment.

  • Ferrite / spacer layer
  • Metal-mount performance
  • Industrial-grade adhesive
  • High-temperature options

Tamper-Evident RFID Labels

Security labels that visibly indicate tampering when removal is attempted. The label or antenna is destroyed upon removal, preventing reuse and ensuring authenticity.

  • Destructible facestock
  • Void pattern on removal
  • Anti-counterfeiting
  • One-time-use design
