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.

Printed copper antenna on FR4 delivers 95%+ resonance frequency consistency across batches, eliminating the 5-8% variation of wire-wound alternatives
On-board capacitor slot - enables fine-tuning resonance to compensate for dielectric shift caused by silicone, ABS, or epoxy encapsulation materials
150 deg C storage temperature rated - survives silicone injection molding and heat-press curing without chip or antenna degradation
Ultra-thin profiles from 0.17 to 0.4 mm - round (8-18 mm) and rectangular (11.5x4.7 to 15x10 mm) formats for diverse product designs
12+ chip options per ISO/IEC 14443A - NXP MIFARE Classic 1K/4K, Ultralight EV1/C, DESFire EV1/EV2/EV3, NTAG213/215/216, FM11RF08
2-5 cm read range - optimized for proximity applications including tap-to-enter, tap-to-pay, and NFC smartphone interaction

HF PCB Tag (13.56 MHz) vs FPC Tag — How To Choose

Rigid PCB or flexible polyimide? Pick by embedding surface

Both are HF 13.56 MHz NFC tags on printed-circuit substrates. The 13.56 MHz PCB tag (this product) uses rigid FR4 for integration into electronics and hard enclosures. FPC tag uses flexible polyimide for curved product embedding, silicone molding, and wearable integration. Substrate flexibility decides.
