Passive tags are the most cost-effective RFID tags. They do not have an internal power source and operate using the energy emitted by RFID readers. These are the most commonly used tags and make up the majority of RFID systems. They are widely used across various industries.

RFID in the Textile Industry
RFID helps to accurately identify product types, sizes, and quantities. It is widely used by wholesalers, retailers, laundry services, and brand manufacturers to track garments and authenticate original products using sewable RFID tags.
Benefits of RFID in Textiles
Helps prevent theft, boosts competitiveness, improves logistics, enhances customer personalization, and enables better tracking of returns and store analytics. RFID tags can store data like sales dates and prices, providing full product traceability.
RFID vs Barcode Comparison
RFID readers can read multiple tags simultaneously, whereas barcodes require line-of-sight and single reading. RFID tags offer greater memory and durability, withstanding environmental conditions better and lasting longer than barcodes.
Challenges of RFID in Textiles
RFID systems require time and investment to set up: reader procurement, proper placement, tag encoding, software integration, etc. Cost remains a major disadvantage, although once addressed, RFID systems offer minimal technical difficulties.
Dear customers, the RFID tags you are reviewing are not pre-encoded. Encoding and technical setup are your responsibility. Please keep this in mind when ordering. Contact us for further information.
