• UHF chip — optimised for long-range performance and fast inventory cycles
• Frequency: 860–960 MHz (global UHF RFID standard)
• Read range: up to 6 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-4229-U8 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 4229-U8 Tag

For retail, apparel and inventory item-level tracking, the RFID 4229-U8 Tag gives brands an NXP U8 UHF label in a compact form factor that tucks inside a hang-tag, a shoe box or a folded garment pack. Identium positions the 4229-U8 RFID tag for the fashion trade because it balances read range, at up to 6 m depending on antenna and environment, against the small footprint that clothing labels demand. It is produced in India for the 865-868 MHz Indian band, stays compatible with the ETSI 865-868 MHz readers overseas buyers use, and follows EPC Gen2 / ISO 18000-6C. The flexible, thin substrate feeds through standard RFID printers and readers with no special settings.

Key specifications

Best-fit applications

• Hang-tag inserts for fashion brands stocking multi-brand outlets in Mumbai and Hyderabad
• Item-level shoe-box labels for footwear retailers running daily floor counts
• Fitting-room and self-checkout item tags in apparel stores adopting RFID
• Garment-exporter packing labels that satisfy international retailer RFID mandates
• Boutique jewellery-box and accessories packaging where a discreet label is wanted

Mounting, encoding and reading notes

Insert the ID-4229-U8 inside a printed hang-tag, or apply it to the inside of a box lid, so the antenna stays flat and out of sight. Write a GS1 SGTIN-96 EPC into each unit at the RFID printer, match it to the barcode on the visible face, and lock the EPC memory before the goods ship. Keep the tag away from metal buttons, buckles and foil-printed packaging, and stack folded garments so that tags are not all aligned edge-on to the reader antenna. Prove point-of-sale performance on your billing-counter reader before the store rollout.

The ID-4229-U8 UHF RFID tag is used for inventory management, asset tracking and supply chain visibility. In India it is deployed in warehouse logistics, retail, manufacturing and field asset management where fast scanning of many items matters. It works with all standard UHF RFID readers and printers.

What is the read range of the ID-4229-U8 RFID tag?

The ID-4229-U8 UHF RFID tag reads at up to 6 metres in real-world conditions. Range varies with the reader antenna, transmit power, tag orientation and the surface it is fixed to. It operates across 860-960 MHz, which covers the Indian UHF band of 865-868 MHz.

Does the ID-4229-U8 tag work on metal items?

No, the ID-4229-U8 is a standard UHF RFID label-type tag and will not read reliably on metal or on liquid-filled containers. Metal assets need a dedicated on-metal UHF tag. For cartons, plastic crates and other non-metallic goods in India, the tag performs as designed.

What is the bulk price of ID-4229-U8 RFID tags in India?

Bulk pricing for the ID-4229-U8 UHF RFID tag in India depends on roll quantity, encoding and printing needs, so request a quote from India RFID Store rather than assuming a fixed rate. Standard packs are listed on this page, and Indian manufacturing allows direct OEM pricing.
