About the RFID Warehouse Label 1642-U8

Shelf edges, bin fronts and shipper cartons all want the same thing from a label, a dependable read from the aisle without a premium chip behind it, and the RFID Warehouse Label 1642-U8 is the workhorse Identium points those buyers to. The ID-1642-U8 pairs the 1642 inlay with the U8 chip on a flexible, thin substrate that conforms to flat and curved surfaces. It is engineered for warehouse logistics and supply chain work, reaches 6 m across an aisle when the antenna and surroundings cooperate, and prints and encodes on the equipment you already run. Every unit is made in India on the 865-868 MHz band and stays inside the 865-868 MHz ETSI range, so a single SKU serves domestic and overseas sites.

Key specifications

Best-fit applications

• Bin and shelf-location labelling for cycle counts in a distribution warehouse
• Carton tagging at the packing bench of an e-commerce fulfilment centre
• Stock tracking in auto-component stores feeding a production line
• Tote and crate identification at FMCG cross-dock hubs
• Goods-receipt reconciliation against advance shipping notices
• Shared warehouse space where tenants need an affordable stock-audit label

Mounting, encoding and reading notes

For shelf-edge duty, fix the label to the plastic or cardboard face plate rather than straight onto a steel upright; where the rack is bare metal, switch to an on-metal tag or introduce a spacer. Print the location code and barcode and write the EPC in the same pass, then check every label on a desktop reader before it goes onto the shelf. On cartons, hold a consistent position on a broad face so portal read zones only have to be tuned once. Label dimensions are on the datasheet.

Why buy from Identium

The ID-1642-U8 comes off an Indian production line that has been turning out RFID since 2010, and its band tuning lets one label travel between domestic and overseas warehouses. Identium prices in bulk and OEM quantities, encodes location or carton IDs before despatch, and sends free samples so you can pilot a single aisle. For steel racking, pair it with our on-metal RFID tags, and use the RFID warehouse management guide to design your read zones.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, the ID-1642-U8 is a UHF RFID warehouse label for logistics and supply chain use, including cartons, cases, bins and pallet identification. It reads at up to 6 metres depending on antenna and environment, so goods can be captured at dock doors and during cycle counts.

Can the ID-1642-U8 warehouse label be stuck on metal racking?

No, the ID-1642-U8 is a standard UHF RFID label and will not read dependably if stuck directly on metal racking, cages or liquid-filled drums. For metal rack location labels and returnable metal containers in India, use an on-metal UHF RFID tag designed for those surfaces.
