Abstract: A RFID tag configured with a Near Field Communication (NFC) protocol is sealed between water-resistant layers and affixed to a fabric. The NFC-configured tag can be programmed with instructions to automatically direct an electronic device to a web address by which means virtually any additional information can be communicated to the user of the electronic device. According to a method aspect, the NFC-configured tag is initially sealed between water-resistant layers. A compatible water-resistant layer is affixed to a fabric and then the sealed NFC-configured tag and a further water-resistant cover layer are affixed to the fabric over the previously-affixed compatible layer. The tag is then securely and permanently affixed to the fabric, with which the tag can be safely subjected to repeated wear and washing.
