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
