64x06 Flexible & Printable UHF On-metal Label

The ID-64X06 is a high-performance UHF RFID inlay measuring 64mm × 6mm, engineered for on-metal asset tracking 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 64mm × 6mm 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-64X06 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 64x06 Flexible & Printable UHF On-metal Label

Six millimetres tall and sixty-four long, the ID-64X06 answers a problem every asset team eventually hits: a metal item with no flat area wide enough for a normal label. This narrow format slips onto instrument shanks, panel bezels, tray edges, slim brackets and cable-harness clips, taking up almost no height on the asset. It stays a thin bendable printable label, so it follows shallow curves rather than standing proud, and the strip is still wide enough for a serial number or a small barcode. Read distance runs to a 6 m maximum and depends heavily on how the antenna is presented to it.

Key specifications

Best-fit applications

• Slim tool shanks, drivers and extension bars in crib issue-and-return systems
• Instrument tray edges and slim brackets in hospital CSSD and equipment stores
• Panel bezels, DIN rails and slim enclosures inside control cabinets
• Cable harness clips, connectors and patch-panel strips in data centres
• Narrow rims of metal trolleys, trays and stacking frames
• Bar stock, rods and profiles that expose only a thin face

Mounting, encoding and reading notes

With this little height to work with, presentation matters more than adhesive strength: hold the reader square to the printed side and keep polarisation lined up with the long axis. Wipe the shank or edge free of grease, then apply the strip dead straight, since a twist along its length is enough to lose you distance. Set a narrow label format on the printer so printing and writing still happen together, and prove the first few pieces before running a batch. If a piece will not read, check alignment before blaming the label.

Why buy from Identium

Odd sizes are where a local maker earns its place, and narrow strips like this are made to order in New Delhi rather than pulled from a distributor's shelf. Everything leaves tuned for India's 865-868 MHz allocation and stays compatible with ETSI 865-868 MHz for export customers. We will encode to your data structure, print your artwork, quote bulk and OEM volumes, and send samples so the fit can be tested on the real asset first.

Frequently asked questions

Where is a 64x6mm ultra-slim on-metal RFID label used?

The ID-64X06 UHF on-metal RFID label measures only 64 by 6mm, so it fits narrow edges and borders where no wider tag will go, such as tool shanks, thin brackets, edges of IT equipment and slim metal frames. Its flexible substrate suits flat and curved surfaces.

What is the read range of this narrow UHF on-metal label?

The ID-64X06 UHF RFID label offers a read range of up to 6 metres depending on the antenna and environment. Because it is applied to metal, orientation, reader power and surrounding surfaces influence the practical distance, so testing on your own assets is recommended before bulk rollout.

Does this UHF RFID label work with Indian frequency and readers?

Yes. The ID-64X06 operates in the 860 to 960 MHz UHF range, which covers India's 865 to 868 MHz band approved by WPC and licence-free within notified power limits. It is compatible with all standard EPC Gen 2 UHF readers and printers used in India.

What is the price of slim on-metal RFID labels in India?

Pricing for slim on-metal RFID labels in India varies with order quantity and any custom printing or encoding, so please refer to the listed price or ask for a bulk quotation. India RFID Store is a BIS and WPC certified Indian manufacturer supplying samples, OEM volumes and pan-India shipping.
