RFID 1222 Qstar Tag

The ID-1222 is a high-performance UHF RFID inlay engineered for inventory management, asset tracking, and supply chain visibility applications. Built on the Qstar chip platform, it delivers reliable read ranges of up to 7 m in demanding real-world environments.

Key Features:

• Compact form factor
• Qstar chip — optimised for long-range performance and fast inventory cycles
• Frequency: 860–960 MHz (global UHF RFID standard)
• Read range: up to 7 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-1222 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 1222 Qstar Tag

Libraries, bookshops and retail chains across India use the RFID 1222 Qstar tag as a general-purpose UHF inlay for retail, library and inventory tagging. Identium builds the ID-1222 on the EM Qstar chip and supplies it as a compact wet inlay that converts easily into printed labels, or goes straight inside a book cover or onto a carton. The flexible, thin substrate follows flat and curved surfaces, and the RoHS-compliant build suits high-volume rollouts. Tuned for the 865-868 MHz WPC band and compatible with ETSI 865-868 MHz readers abroad, this 1222 Qstar RFID label reads at up to 7 m depending on antenna and environment, far enough for shelf audits and door-mounted readers.

Key specifications

Best-fit applications

• Library books, journals and reference volumes for self-check and shelf inventory
• Retail apparel and home textiles for stock-accuracy programmes
• Archive boxes and records in banks, insurers and government offices
• Pharmacy and hospital store stock held on non-metal shelving
• Consumable packs in tool cribs and maintenance stores

Mounting, encoding and reading notes

For books, seat the wet inlay on the inside of the back cover away from the spine, then cover it with a printed library label; for retail goods, hide it under a branded label or on the hang tag. The inlay sticks to paper, board and plastic but not reliably to metal or damp surfaces, so switch to a spacer or a different tag there. Write accession or item IDs with a UHF RFID printer or desktop reader, and check a sample against your gate or shelf reader before tagging a whole collection.

Frequently asked questions

What is the read range of the RFID 1222 Qstar tag?

The RFID 1222 Qstar tag reads up to 7 metres, depending on the reader antenna, power setting and environment. Built on the Qstar chip platform, it operates across 860-960 MHz, which includes the 865-868 MHz UHF band used for RFID in India.

What is the price of the RFID 1222 Qstar tag in India?

Pricing for the RFID 1222 Qstar UHF tag depends on quantity, printing and encoding. Check the listed price on India RFID Store or request a bulk quotation. Identium manufactures UHF RFID inlays in India and offers volume and OEM rates with pan-India delivery.

Can the RFID 1222 Qstar tag be used on metal or liquid filled items?

No. The RFID 1222 Qstar is a standard flexible UHF inlay, and such label tags do not read reliably when applied to metal or over liquids. For metal assets, an on-metal UHF RFID tag is the correct choice, and India RFID Store manufactures those as well.

Can I order the RFID 1222 Qstar tag with custom printing and encoding?

Yes. India RFID Store supplies the RFID 1222 Qstar UHF tag with custom printing, serialisation and pre-encoded numbers on bulk orders, and offers samples for testing beforehand. The inlay is also compatible with standard RFID label printers if you prefer to encode in house.
