About the RFID 1142 Qstar Label

Retailers who print their own labels will find the RFID 1142 Qstar label a straightforward upgrade from plain barcodes. It is a compact, printable UHF smart label on the Qstar chip platform, supplied by Identium as a wet inlay or a paper label roll for any standard UHF RFID printer. The flexible, thin construction of the ID-1142 lets it sit flush on cartons, hang tags, folded garments, shoe boxes and moulded plastic parts, on flat and curved surfaces alike. Tuned for India's 865-868 MHz WPC allocation and at home in the ETSI 865-868 MHz band, it delivers up to 7 m of read range depending on antenna and environment, which keeps shelf-to-stockroom counts quick.

Best-fit applications

• Print-and-apply labelling in e-commerce fulfilment centres for pick verification
• Footwear and handbag box labels in multi-brand retail
• Cosmetics and personal-care shelf replenishment in modern trade
• Plastic bin and tote identification in automotive spare-parts stores
• Sample kits and promotional stock held by marketing teams

Mounting, encoding and reading notes

Feed the paper label roll into your printer, set the inlay position using the printer's calibration routine, and print barcode, description and price while the EPC is written in the same pass. Apply to a clean, dry, non-metal surface; on cartons pick one face and one position and keep to it so portal reads stay consistent. Do not lay the label directly over foil, metallised pouches or liquid-filled containers unless you add a spacer. Run a verification read with a handheld before goods leave the packing station.

Why buy from Identium

Identium converts this label at its New Delhi facility and has produced RFID since 2010, so you get a made-in-India label that is also ETSI-compatible for Europe, the UK, the GCC and Africa. Pre-printed and pre-encoded rolls, OEM supply, volume rates and free trial pieces are available on request.
