Answering your block printing questions by VesperTwine

It is best practice to keep the same name on tires throughout the production process and all the way to the end user. This is where the RFID Metal Tire Tag makes its point. It facilitates traceability, decreases manual checking and minimises the risk of cloning or theft. The outcome is less waste and greater control for high-volume operations. In the same spirit, TopTag offers RFID products that are built for reliability, offering customisation and industrial applications.

Product Design and Core Features

An RFID Metal Tire Tag is designed to be embedded during tyre manufacturing, and will be permanently embedded in the tyre. The tag features a brown finish and is made from steel wire, the standard sizes are 84x1mm, 50x1mm, and, upon request, other dimensions of the tag are available. It operates on 860-960MHz and is compatible with the common UHF readers due to its support of ISO/IEC 18000-6C (EPC Gen2).

The construction is designed for extreme environments. It works between -40°C and +85°C and can be stored at temperatures up to 200°C. Chip types are Alien Higgs-9 or compatible. The memory size can be 96-496 bits, the user memory can be 688-288 bits, data can be stored for over 10 years, and rewrites can be performed up to 100,000 times.

Why RFID Tags on Products Improve Control

If the RFID tags are used properly, they can make each product a repository of valuable data. For tyre operations, this translates to a tyre that can be associated with its batch, model and movement history without relying on a physical label. The RFID Metal Tire Tag is one way to help with this by providing teams with a unique digital identity that is wirelessly readable.

This is important in the tyre factory control, tyre tracking in the automobile manufacturer, and logistic vehicles management. Scanning reduces the risk of human error, provides staff with a better view of stock and speeds up the count. It also supports anti-counterfeit security, as it is more difficult to duplicate a unique identifier than a printed code.

Performance Across the Supply Chain

RFID Metal Tire Tag maintains value when tyre is out of the factory. It can be used for warehousing, shipping, inspection and maintenance, so the same record can accompany the tyre throughout its entire life cycle. This provides more confidence to operations teams when auditing stock or checking a particular unit. Once products are tagged with RFID tags, the record remains with the product rather than being misplaced between departments.

The tag is protected from normal wear and use as it is embedded in the tyre. Long-lasting design for steady reading. That can be easier management for fleet owners and a better time for replacement.

The tag can also be used in other embedded production applications, such as trunks and boxes, which is convenient for broader industrial tracking applications. In every instance, the aim is the same – quicker identification, fewer errors and tidier records.

Ordering, Customisation, and Supply Details

TopTag provides custom encoding and design support, which is beneficial for projects that require a specific identifier structure. The payment is made by TT, PayPal, and irrevocable L/C at sight. Shipping is available from Nanning, Shenzhen or Guangzhou in China, and it will take about 15 to 20 working days. The product is packed in a bulk of 100 pieces per bag. These details are important to purchasing teams where logistics are crucial, output reliability is essential, and bulk fulfilment is straightforward.

It also helps to standardise reporting as products can be tagged with RFID tags and the same product data can be transmitted to two different readers and working environments. This helps to facilitate smoother handovers between production, warehouse and fleet teams and helps to reduce repetitive day-to-day coordination. That's a quicker and quicker stock reconciliation for both the buying and the warehouse and maintenance teams every day.
