About the 1642-ImpinJ UHF RFID Inlay/Label/Sticker

When the tag has to disappear inside a small label, the 1642 Impinj UHF RFID inlay label is the compact choice in Identium's Impinj-based range. The ID-1642-IMPINJ carries an Impinj UHF chip on a thin, flexible substrate and is offered as a dry inlay, a wet inlay with the adhesive already applied, or a finished sticker, so it serves converters and hand-applying users equally. It is intended for small non-metal items such as blister packs, cosmetic cartons, folded documents and plastic housings, and Identium quotes read ranges of up to 6 m depending on the reader antenna and environment. Retailers, logistics operators and stockrooms in India use it where a bigger label will not fit.

Key specifications

Best-fit applications

• Small-format packaging in pharmacy and cosmetics retail where shelf space is tight
• Tote and small-parcel tagging in e-commerce sortation and returns handling
• Sample vials, test kits and lab consumables carried in a non-metal tray
• Consumer electronics accessory boxes counted at goods-in and goods-out
• Book and stationery stock in campus shops and libraries

Mounting, encoding and reading notes

Small inlays are fussier about placement than large ones, so leave a clear gap between the antenna and any metal or liquid, and never fold the label over an edge. For hand application choose the wet inlay and press outward from the centre so no air is trapped underneath. High-volume users should convert the part into a roll and encode inside a UHF RFID printer instead. Check each written EPC on a desktop reader before goods leave, and expect a shorter range from a dense tray of tagged items than from one box in free air.

Why buy from Identium

This inlay is produced at Identium's New Delhi works, part of an Indian UHF RFID line that dates back to 2010. Tuned to 865-868 MHz, it also performs inside the ETSI 865-868 MHz band for European, UK and Gulf buyers, and 902-928 MHz versions can be quoted. Small-format work usually needs a placement trial first, so we send samples at no charge and follow with volume or OEM rates once the position is settled.
