RFID 5050 ICODE Tag

The ID-5050 is a high-performance UHF RFID inlay engineered for inventory management, asset tracking, and supply chain visibility applications. Built on the UHF chip platform, it delivers reliable read ranges of up to 6 m in demanding real-world environments.

Key Features:

• Compact form factor
• 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-5050 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 5050 ICODE Tag

The RFID 5050 ICODE Tag (model ID-5050) is a 50x50mm HF label built on the NXP ICODE SLIX chip, working at 13.56 MHz under ISO15693. Unlike the UHF labels elsewhere in this range it is deliberately short-range: it is made for controlled, one-at-a-time and stacked reads on books, files, discs, retail packaging and lab consumables, where a tight read zone matters far more than distance. The square outline gives a generous antenna area, so coupling stays stable on paper, cardboard and plastic. Libraries favour an ICODE label because self-check kiosks, security gates and shelf-reading wands are almost all built around ISO15693. Identium makes the 5050 in India for library and retail projects.

Key specifications

Best-fit applications

• Book, journal and thesis tagging in public, school and university libraries with self-issue kiosks
• Physical file and case-docket tracking in law firms and court registries
• Retail item labelling for perfumes, cosmetics and small electronics at HF checkouts
• Reagent bottles and sample racks inside laboratory inventory systems
• Museum and archive object identification with tabletop readers
• Media discs and game cartridges in rental and lending collections

Mounting, encoding and reading notes

Seat the label inside a book's back cover or on a flat paper or plastic face, keeping the whole 50x50mm antenna flat and crease-free, because a folded corner costs you coupling. Encode the ISO15693 memory with an HF or NFC desktop reader, or a compatible printer, following the data model your library system expects. HF coupling is short by design, so present items close to the antenna, keep tags off metal shelving, and stagger them through a stack so each one answers cleanly rather than shielding its neighbour.

Why buy from Identium

Identium has produced RFID labels in New Delhi since 2010 and holds BIS and WPC certification. Because 13.56 MHz ISO15693 is a single worldwide band, this label needs no regional variant at all and ships as-is to overseas libraries. We supply volume and OEM pricing for library and retail tenders, pre-encoding to your accession numbers, and free samples for kiosk testing.

Frequently asked questions

What is the read range of the ID-5050 UHF RFID tag?

The ID-5050 UHF RFID tag reads at up to 6 metres in real-world conditions. Actual range depends on the reader antenna, transmit power, tag orientation and the surface it is applied to. The compact inlay is designed for long-range performance and fast inventory cycles.

Does the ID-5050 tag work on the Indian UHF RFID frequency?

Yes, the ID-5050 UHF RFID tag operates across 860-960 MHz, which includes the 865-868 MHz band notified by WPC for India. That band is licence-free within the notified power limits, so the tag can be paired with any compliant Indian UHF reader.

What is the price of the ID-5050 RFID tag in India?

Pricing for the ID-5050 UHF RFID tag in India depends on quantity, encoding and artwork requirements. Check the listed price on this page for standard packs, or request bulk roll pricing from India RFID Store. Indian manufacturing allows direct volume and OEM rates.

Is the ID-5050 tag compatible with standard RFID readers and printers?

Yes, the ID-5050 UHF RFID tag is compatible with all standard UHF RFID readers and printers used in India, including handheld and fixed portal readers. It can be printed and encoded on standard RFID label printers, so existing workflows continue unchanged.
