How To choose suitable UHF RFID tag for your project?
With the rapid development of the global economy, Internet of Things (IoT) applications have permeated every aspect of people's lives. As the information recorder in IoT, RFID electronic tags have become widely visible. Here, electronic tag manufacturers share how to quickly choose the right UHF RFID electronic tags.vmyGEENFC: A Global RFID tag, NFC tag, RFID Solution Provider
Among the myriad of project applications, selecting the correct RFID tag is even more crucial. There are many types of RFID tags, each with different materials, sizes, and performance characteristics, all of which can significantly impact the practical use of a project. Below, we will use UHF RFID electronic tags as an example to illustrate how to select RFID electronic tags.
I. Types of UHF RFID Tags
Let's first briefly explain the components of an electronic tag. The core is the IC chip and the inlay that combines the chip, antenna, and film. In the field, tags sometimes need to be encapsulated in paper, plastic, or ceramic for printing text and attaching the tag to items or packaging with adhesive or other methods. The IC chip is manufactured by semiconductor producers, and the antenna film or ceramic chip is designed and manufactured by professional antenna manufacturers. The final combination of these materials is the electronic tag.
The chip and antenna are directly bonded together, offering low cost and thin material. The pressure-sensitive label refers to a layer of paper encapsulated on the surface of the INLAY.
The INLAY is encapsulated in PVC material of various sizes to form a convenient card.
Capable of being attached to metal or liquid-containing bottles without affecting reading performance.
Suitable for the clothing industry, with encapsulation materials that can be thick paper or PVC.

Slightly different in size and encapsulation material, applied to some special application scenarios.
II. Understand the Real Application of the Project
- Determine the application environment of the project.
- Determine the reading distance.
- Determine the project's requirements for tag size.
- Determine the project's control over tag costs.
- Determine other special requirements, such as printing, high-temperature resistance, flexibility, hole punching, anti-theft, etc.
III. Determine How to Choose the Right UHF RFID Electronic Tags
Combining the above two points, it is hoped that this can help everyone more quickly select UHF RFID tags in different application scenarios.
With technological advancements, the cost of future UHF electronic tags will definitely become more favorable, more diversified, and their performance will continue to improve.
