Abstract: A blister package with an integrated RFID tag is provided. The conductive lidding material is modified to serve not only to seal some contents within some formed blister film, but also to act as an RFID tag antenna. An electronic circuit is electrically connected to the lidding film antenna. Methods of manufacture which integrate with conventional blister package manufacturing processes are also provided.

Abstract: A radio frequency identification label is comprised of a tag circuit 310 electrically coupled to a defined marker region 330 such that the information generated by the tag circuit is dependent on the electronic properties of the marker region 330. The ID information conveyed to an external tag reader is thus a combination of fixed data intrinic to the tag circuit 310 plus a portion of data that is dependent on the electronic properties of the marker region. The marker region 330 can be comprised of various materials with complex structure, such as woven cloth or printed electrically conductive inks, such that the ID code transmitted by the label is thus more difficult to reproduce or to counterfeit. In addition, the marker region 330 can also be arranged to have electrical coupling to the object onto which the label is affixed, thus creating an electronic ID code that is also dependent on the electronic properties of the tagged object itself.
