UHF RFID On-Metal Label for Packaging & Components

Ferrowave Classic is a cost-engineered UHF (RAIN) RFID on-metal label designed for item-level, high-volume tracking. It brings reliable read performance to packaging and components that are traditionally hard to tag—metallic foils, metalized cartons, liquid containers, and small metal parts—without the added weight and cost of heavy industrial constructions.

Part of Beontag’s Ferrowave on-metal label family, Ferrowave Classic is optimized for packaging and component use cases that don’t require the most rugged industrial build but do require scale and economy. It’s an excellent fit for specialty retail (e.g., sports equipment, beauty & personal care) and for brand authentication on higher-value goods, as well as automotive component tracking in production and aftermarket flows.

Key benefits

  • On-metal tuned, cost-optimized label structure for high-volume deployments

  • Works on metallic packaging/foils and liquid containers where standard labels fail

  • Suitable for item-level retail, brand protection, and component traceability

  • Multiple tag dimensions available to balance footprint and read performance

  • Converts and prints like a conventional pressure-sensitive RFID label (for efficient rollout)

Typical applications

  • Specialty retail items (sports gear, beauty & personal care)

  • Brand authentication / tamper-evident branding on premium goods

  • Automotive components and metal sub-assemblies

  • Consumer packages with metalized layers or challenging contents (liquids)
