Tagging wood, pallets, concrete, or trees in rough conditions?
Stock SKU. Custom tooling from 2,000 pcs.
Standard; rush possible on request.
Stock samples via DHL / FedEx.
Use this nail-style tag when the item is wood, concrete, or another non-metal surface that suits drilled or hammered installation. Confirm substrate hardness, tag size, and reading setup before field sampling.
What buyers usually confirm first

Shortlist Logic
These features help teams decide whether the tag suits the environment, installation method, and read expectations of the real workflow.
Use Cases
Use cases matter because the right tag depends on surface, environment, attachment, and read distance in the field.
tag individual trees for conservation inventory, logging permits, and illegal felling detection across 10,000+ hectare forests
embed in wooden power and telecom poles for GPS-linked inspection scheduling and maintenance history
insert during manufacturing for lifetime traceability of bridge beams, wall panels, and drainage elements
tag wooden and concrete sleepers for replacement cycle management across 500+ km rail networks
nail into reusable pallets for automated warehouse check-in and supply chain visibility
track lumber, beams, and structural members from sawmill through on-site assembly
Nail Tag vs Cable Tie Tag — How To Choose
Both are attachment-style UHF tags for irregular outdoor assets, but install fundamentally differently. Nail tags drive straight into soft materials — timber, wood, soft plastic, rubber. Cable tie tags loop around anything with clearance — cylinders, cages, pipes. Material type decides.
Option A Hammer into timber / wood / rubber
Best for
Option B Cable-tie loop, wrap-around industrial
Best for
Quick decision tip — If the target is a soft material (timber, wood, rubber) that accepts a nail without cracking or splitting, nail tag (Option A) delivers the fastest install (5-10 seconds). If the target is metal, hard plastic, or any surface where nailing would damage, cable tie tag (Option B) wraps around with zip-tie through the integrated loop. Forestry and wooden-asset programs overwhelmingly use nail; industrial metal-asset programs use cable-tie.

Market Notes
Frequent projects include warehouse visibility, IT asset management, returnable packaging and on-metal identification.
Industrial laundry, reusable transport items and traceability projects often require careful sample validation and repeatability.
Outdoor assets, utilities and long-service industrial tagging often put more weight on enclosure durability and field conditions.
Nearby Options
A similar tag can behave very differently once surface, enclosure, and installation method change, so it helps to keep close options visible.

Buyer Questions
These FAQs cover the points that usually come up between a first shortlist and a real sample or quote request.
For RFID Nail Tag, the standard MOQ starts at 1,000 pieces on stock SKUs. Custom shape, material or antenna tooling typically requires 3,000–5,000 pieces to cover one-time mold / die-cut setup cost. Exact MOQ and unit pricing are quoted per project once chip, customization and packaging are confirmed.
Yes. Stock rfid tags samples of RFID Nail Tag are typically free; we only ask buyers to cover DHL/FedEx express shipping. Samples ship in 1–3 business days after your order is confirmed and arrive in 2–5 days to most countries. Custom samples (new chip, new size, printed artwork) usually take 3–7 additional days.
Standard RFID Nail Tag orders ship in 7–15 business days after PO confirmation and artwork approval. Large runs (>100k units) or orders with complex encoding / custom molds may take 15–25 business days. Rush production is available on request for time-sensitive launches; confirm MOQ and artwork early to protect the timeline.
Yes. RFID Nail Tag supports end-to-end customization: full-color CMYK / silk-screen / UV printing, laser engraving, serial numbering, custom chip encoding (UID write, NDEF, sector locking), custom shape / size (subject to tooling MOQ), and packaging. Share your artwork, chip requirement and quantity and we will return a spec sheet + price within 24 hours.
Compatibility depends on the frequency band (LF 125 kHz / HF 13.56 MHz / UHF 860–960 MHz) and chip family used by your reader or installed system. Send a photo of your current card / reader model and we will recommend the matching chip + test a sample before bulk order.
RFIDAK operates under ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), audited by SGS. RFID Nail Tag is subject to incoming material inspection, in-process QC at every lamination / bonding / encoding step, and 100% electrical performance testing before shipment. Products meet CE, FCC, RoHS and REACH as applicable by market. Full test reports are available on request for buyer audits.
Yes. RFID Nail Tag can ship with UID range assignment, NDEF URL encoding (for NFC), sector-locked user data, serial numbering, and CMYK / silk-screen / UV printing of your artwork. Provide an AI/PDF artwork file at 300 dpi with 3 mm bleed and a chip-encoding spec; we return a digital proof for approval before production.
RFIDAK ships RFID Nail Tag via DHL / FedEx / UPS (door-to-door, 3–5 days to most countries), air cargo (5–7 days for heavier orders), or sea freight (20–35 days for bulk over 500 kg). Standard Incoterms are EXW, FOB Shenzhen and DDP; choose based on customs clearance preferences. Commercial invoice, packing list and CoC / MSDS are included automatically.
For repeat buyers, RFIDAK locks tooling, artwork and chip encoding on file so subsequent POs ship faster — typically 5–10 business days for stock chip types at previously-run quantities. Price is adjusted transparently per chip market rate and FX movement; we flag any chip shortage (e.g., DESFire EV3) before quotation so the project plan stays realistic.
Key RFID Nail Tag specs: frequency 125 kHz (LF), 13.56 MHz (HF), 860-960 MHz (UHF); dimensions Ø8 x 36 mm, Ø12 x 40 mm, Ø22/25/28 x 41 mm; substrate ABS. A full technical datasheet including read range, chip memory map, IP / temperature rating and compliance certificates is available on request; attach your reader model and target environment so we can confirm suitability before quoting.
