Abstract: A chipless RFID-enabled liner free label includes a substrate with an RFID antenna on the substrate and adhesive applied to the same side. The RFID antenna may be purchased from a third party, printed with conductive ink, formed from transferred conductive foil, or created as a combination of printed ink and foil. The adhesive may be flood coated or applied in discontinuous and/or continuous patches or patterns. The labels may include printed sense marks, or the antenna itself may function as a sense mark. A roll of such labels provides waste reduction benefits through elimination of the liner while maintaining RFID functionality without requiring chips. This technology in a roll format offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional chip-based RFID labels while preserving tracking capabilities.

Abstract: A liner free label includes a substrate having first and second sides, a radio frequency identification (RFID) inlay on the substrate which includes a chip and an antenna, and an adhesive applied to at least a portion of the first or second side. The RFID inlay may be embedded within the adhesive, function as a sense mark, or be accompanied by a separate sense mark. The antenna may comprise a printed antenna, foil antenna, or a combination thereof. The RFID inlay may be purchased from an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or include an OEM chip with a separately manufactured antenna. A roll of liner free labels includes multiple such labels with adhesive applied as a flood coating, discontinuous patches, continuous patches, or patterns. The labels may be separated by perforations. The technology combines the waste reduction benefits of liner free labels with the tracking capabilities of RFID technology.
