Use this tag when the asset sits on metal and a standard label or inlay would lose performance. Confirm surface type, mounting method, and required read distance before sample approval.

What buyers usually confirm first

swipe →

Surface Match

Will it sit on metal, textile, wood, plastic, or rubber?

The mounting surface usually decides tag construction faster than chip selection does.

Environment

Does it need to survive washing, heat, UV, or rough handling?

Laundry, anti-metal, tire, and rugged asset workflows all need different enclosures and materials.

Installation

Adhesive, screw, sew-on, nail-in, or loop install?

Attachment method changes both field speed and real-world read consistency, so it should be confirmed early.

Spec Check

What to confirm before you sample this tag

Surface material, enclosure, attachment method, and environmental limits usually matter more than a broad tag name alone.

Shortlist Logic

Why buyers shortlist this tag format

These features help teams decide whether the tag suits the environment, installation method, and read expectations of the real workflow.

Continuous 225 deg C operation - engineering plastic housing rated -40 deg C to +225 deg C for autoclave, curing oven, and heat treatment environments
10-16 meter read range on metal - purpose-built antenna geometry overcomes metal-induced detuning per ISO/IEC 18000-6C (EPC Gen2)
IP68 waterproof per IEC 60529 survives high-pressure washing, ultrasonic cleaning, and full submersion in industrial fluids
Four mounting methods: screw, rivet, cable tie, adhesive - enables permanent or semi-permanent attachment to any metal asset geometry
23.5 g rugged construction at 48 x 36 x 7.5 mm - withstands warehouse impacts, forklift handling, and stacking pressure without housing failure
Chemical-resistant engineering plastic - unaffected by common industrial solvents, lubricants, and sterilization agents

Use Cases

Where this tag format usually works best

Use cases matter because the right tag depends on surface, environment, attachment, and read distance in the field.

Medical device sterilization tracking

tag surgical trays and instruments through 134 deg C autoclave and ultrasonic cleaning cycles for FDA UDI compliance

Automotive paint and curing lines

track metal body panels and assemblies through 200 deg C+ e-coat and baking ovens without tag removal

Injection mold management

identify molds by unique RFID for automated shot counting, maintenance scheduling, and production logging

Aerospace MRO component tracking

manage high-value turbine blades and structural parts through heat treatment and inspection workflows

Steel and foundry operations

track billets, ingots, and castings at elevated temperatures where barcode labels fail within minutes

Reusable metal container management

tag racks, bins, and totes for automated receiving and inventory across multi-facility operations

On-Metal High-Temp vs Ceramic Tag — How To Choose

Industrial PCB or premium ceramic? Pick by asset scale

Both are on-metal industrial UHF tags for high-temperature environments. Ceramic tag is compact (12-25 mm) for small / precision / medical-grade assets. High-temp PCB tag is larger (35-75 mm) for industrial containers, racks, and large metal assets at 1/2 the ceramic unit cost.

RFIDAK on-metal high-temperature RFID tag — PCB FR4 substrate with foam spacer and PPS housing for industrial oven, foundry, and steam environments Option A

On-Metal High-Temp Tag (this product — industrial)

PCB + foam, 35-75 mm, industrial scale

Size
35-75 mm industrial
Temperature
-40 to +230 °C sustained
Body
PCB FR4 + PPS housing
Unit price (MOQ 1K)
$1.20 – 2.80

Best for

  • Industrial oven / foundry / paint-line
  • Large metal container / cage / rack
  • Power plant / refinery steam zones
RFIDAK UHF ceramic RFID tag — zirconia ceramic body 12-25mm for surgical instruments, medical devices, and high-value compact metal assets Option B

Ceramic Tag (sibling — compact precision)

Zirconia, 12-25 mm, premium compact

Size
12-25 mm compact
Temperature
-40 to +250 °C (autoclave OK)
Body
Zirconia ceramic
Unit price (MOQ 1K)
$1.80 – 4.50

Best for

  • Surgical instrument autoclave cycles
  • Medical device lifecycle tracking
  • Compact precision asset tagging

Quick decision tip — For items under 100 g needing autoclave-safe compact tagging, ceramic (Option B) is the premium choice. For large industrial items over 1 kg in foundry / oven / refinery environments, high-temp PCB (Option A) at half the cost delivers industrial-scale durability.
