  • Publication number: 20080020189
    Abstract: The invention relates to a textile label in which the chip (5) of the transponder arrangement is completely embedded in adhesive, which not only provides the connection to the textile base layer (2) and to a similarly textile top label (7), or to the piece of clothing itself, but also provides a highly effective sealing. The adhesive of the adhesive layers (3, 4) is well-absorbed into the tissue structure by the textile base layer (2) and optionally into the further textile layers to give a flexible and resistant material composite which does not tend to delaminate or warp under mechanical, thermal and/or chemical stress. It is of advantage with regard to the long-life and reliability of the transponder arrangement to seal the same completely with adhesive, in other words, not just the chip (5).
