Reel-Reel RFID Encoder Tag Requirements
The Reel-Reel RFID Encoder is designed to encode wet and dry inlays, stickers and labels mounted on a continuous web on a roll with a 3″ cardboard core; similar to roll based printer. The Reel-Reel can not encode all products types, and some products work better than others. The general specifications for what products will and will not work are below.
If you are unsure if your tags are compatible, contact us with your tag specifications. The tags can shipped to GoToTags be run on GoToTags internal units for analysis and validation.
