RFID 1142-R6 Tag

The ID-1142-R6 is a high-performance UHF RFID inlay engineered for inventory management, asset tracking, and supply chain visibility applications. Built on the UHF chip platform, it delivers reliable read ranges of up to 6 m in demanding real-world environments.

Key Features:

• Compact form factor
• UHF chip — optimised for long-range performance and fast inventory cycles
• Frequency: 860–960 MHz (global UHF RFID standard)
• Read range: up to 6 metres (depending on antenna and environment)
• Flexible, thin substrate suitable for flat and curved surface application
• RoHS-compliant materials; suitable for high-volume industrial deployment

The ID-1142-R6 is compatible with all standard UHF RFID readers and printers. Ideal for warehouse logistics, retail, manufacturing, and field asset management where high-throughput scanning and durability matter.

About the RFID 1142-R6 Tag

Pairing a compact antenna with the Impinj Monza R6 chip, the RFID 1142-R6 tag is the version of Identium's 1142 family that many Indian apparel and asset-labelling projects standardise on. The ID-1142-R6 is a UHF inlay on a flexible, thin substrate that conforms to hang tags, poly-bagged garments, cartons and rigid plastic goods, whether the surface is flat or gently curved. It is produced in New Delhi, tuned for the 865-868 MHz WPC band and equally suited to ETSI 865-868 MHz deployments for exporters. Up to 6 m of read range depending on antenna and environment covers handheld cycle counts, fixed shelf readers and dock-door portals alike.

Key specifications

Best-fit applications

• Item-level apparel tagging with serialised GS1 EPCs for brand and franchise stores
• Pharma case and pallet aggregation at CFA and distributor level
• Reusable tote and bin tracking in e-commerce sortation centres
• Baggage and luggage tags for tour operators and hotels
• Kit and toolbox identification for field service engineers

Mounting, encoding and reading notes

Serialised retail tagging is the common use, so write a unique EPC to every label and keep a record of the serial blocks you have consumed. A standard UHF RFID printer or a desktop encoder handles the write, and a printer can add variable text to the label face at the same time. Bond it to paper, cardboard or plastic, never straight onto metal or a liquid-filled pack without a spacer. On garments, hold the same position on the hang tag or care label so overhead and cash-wrap readers see the tag identically every time.

Frequently asked questions

What is the price of the RFID 1142-R6 tag in India?

Pricing for the RFID 1142-R6 UHF tag depends on order quantity, printing and encoding requirements. Refer to the listed price on India RFID Store or ask for bulk pricing. Identium manufactures UHF RFID inlays in India and offers volume and OEM rates with pan-India delivery.

What is the read range of the RFID 1142-R6 UHF tag?

The RFID 1142-R6 UHF tag reads up to 6 metres, depending on the reader antenna, power setting and environment. It operates across the 860-960 MHz UHF band, so it works on India's 865-868 MHz allocation. Practical range shortens near metal racking or liquid filled goods.

Does the RFID 1142-R6 tag work with Indian UHF frequency rules?

Yes. The RFID 1142-R6 covers 860-960 MHz, which includes the 865-868 MHz UHF RFID band notified by WPC for India and usable licence-free within the notified power limits. India RFID Store manufactures and supplies it from India with BIS and WPC certification.

Can I use the RFID 1142-R6 label on metal or liquid containers?

No. The RFID 1142-R6 is a standard flexible UHF label, and label tags of this kind do not read dependably on metal or over liquid filled containers. For those surfaces, choose an on-metal UHF RFID tag, which India RFID Store also manufactures and stocks.
