RFID 2040 Qstar Tag

The ID-2040 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-2040 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 2040 Qstar Tag

At 20x40mm, the RFID 2040 Qstar Tag (model ID-2040) is a general-purpose UHF inlay that fits most retail packaging, cartons and asset labels without taking over the artwork. It carries the Qstar chip on a flexible, thin substrate and is rated at up to 7 m depending on antenna and environment, so one part number covers shelf counts, back-room audits and warehouse receiving. Converters buy it as a wet inlay; end users buy it as a finished label for retail, logistics and inventory tagging. The antenna works across the 860–960 MHz global UHF range with the 865-868 MHz India allocation, and follows EPC Gen2 / ISO 18000-6C for reader compatibility.

Key specifications

Best-fit applications

• Supermarkets tagging packaged foods and household goods for shelf-level counts
• Toy and gift retailers tagging boxed items for seasonal stock takes
• School and college libraries tagging books and lab equipment
• Sports goods dealers tagging boxed footwear and equipment across outlets
• Office supplies vendors tagging cartons for dealer-level inventory
• Hotel housekeeping stores tagging amenity cartons and minibar stock

Mounting, encoding and reading notes

The 20x40mm footprint tucks under a standard price label or inside a hang tag; lay it flat and avoid creasing across the chip bond area. Converters laminate it into paper, PP or PET faces for printing. Any EPC Gen2 printer will write it, or order rolls pre-encoded to your serial scheme. Foil lamination and liquid products both pull the range down, so lift the tag on a foam pad or move it to the outer pack, and remember that reads are strongest with the long side of the inlay facing the reader.

Why buy from Identium

If you are still deciding which inlay a project needs, this is the size to test first: it fits nearly every pack, and the result tells you whether to move up to a larger antenna or down to a narrow one. Identium makes it in India, prints and writes to your artwork and numbering, and quotes volume or OEM terms.

Frequently asked questions

What is the price of the ID-2040 Qstar RFID tag in India?

The price of the ID-2040 UHF RFID tag in India depends on order quantity, encoding and artwork requirements. Check the listed price on this page for standard packs, or request bulk roll pricing from India RFID Store. Identium supplies as an Indian manufacturer, so OEM rates are available.

Does the ID-2040 RFID tag work on metal or liquid surfaces?

No, the ID-2040 is a standard UHF RFID label-type tag and does not read reliably on metal or on liquid-filled containers. Metal assets need a dedicated on-metal UHF tag. On cartons, plastic crates and other non-metallic goods in Indian warehouses it performs as designed.

What is the read range of the ID-2040 Qstar UHF tag?

The ID-2040 UHF RFID tag reads at up to 7 metres on the Qstar chip platform. Actual range depends on the reader antenna, transmit power and the surface under the tag. It operates across 860-960 MHz, which covers the Indian 865-868 MHz UHF band.

Can I get samples of the ID-2040 tag shipped anywhere in India?

Yes, samples of the ID-2040 UHF RFID tag can be requested before placing a bulk order, and India RFID Store ships pan-India. Being a BIS and WPC certified Indian manufacturer, Identium also handles custom printing, serialised encoding and OEM branding on volume orders.
