70x30 Flexible & Printable UHF On-metal Label

The ID-70X30 is a high-performance UHF RFID inlay measuring 70mm × 30mm, 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 70mm × 30mm 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-70X30 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 70x30 Flexible & Printable UHF On-metal Label

Logistics teams gravitate to the ID-70X30 because 70 mm by 30 mm is the shape that survives a distribution centre: enough printed area for a container or location code, and a flexible body that shrugs off the knocks a rigid housing would catch. It is built for steel totes, cages, roll containers, duct runs and racking faces — the surfaces where an ordinary paper label reads at nothing at all. Six metres is the upper limit on read distance, and how close a site gets to it depends on the antenna and the geometry around the tag.

Key specifications

Best-fit applications

• Returnable steel totes, cages and roll containers cycling between DC and store
• Trolleys and metal-framed handling equipment passing a dock door or gate
• Bin and location labelling across racking faces and mezzanine frames
• Metal-bodied spare-part bins in MRO and service stores
• Ducting, panels and prefabricated metal units on project sites
• Cold-store trolleys and shelving where paper labels give up

Mounting, encoding and reading notes

Place the label on the long face of a tote or cage where a fork tine or a stacked neighbour cannot scrape it. Galvanised and powder-coated steel both take it well once the dust is off. Apply in the same position on every asset in the fleet, because consistent placement is what turns an occasional read into a repeatable one at the dock. Keep the printed side facing outward rather than down at the floor, and avoid deep channels in the steel that shadow the tag from the antenna.

Why buy from Identium

Working with an Indian manufacturer shortens the loop on everything that matters in a container rollout: sampling, artwork revisions, re-encoding and support all happen in the same time zone. We have made RFID in New Delhi since 2010, ship 865-868 MHz stock that also satisfies ETSI 865-868 MHz users, and handle serialisation and pre-encoding in house. Volume pricing for a full fleet is quoted directly, and a free sample set lets you trial placement on one cage before committing.

Frequently asked questions

Does this 70x30mm UHF label work on metal surfaces?

Yes, the ID-70X30 UHF RFID label is designed for on-metal asset tracking, unlike standard paper labels which do not read reliably on metal. The 70 by 30mm size offers a strong antenna and a printable face for asset numbers on machinery, racking, panels and returnable metal containers.

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

The ID-70X30 UHF on-metal RFID label reads at up to 6 metres depending on the antenna and environment. In dense warehouse racking or near large metal structures the practical range is shorter, so a site trial with your reader setup is recommended before full deployment.

Is the ID-70X30 UHF RFID label legal to use in India?

Yes. The ID-70X30 operates in the 860 to 960 MHz UHF RFID range, which includes India's WPC-approved 865 to 868 MHz band that is licence-free within notified power limits. It is compatible with all standard UHF RFID readers and printers available in India.

What is the price of RFID on-metal labels in India and are samples available?

The price of on-metal RFID labels in India depends on quantity and any printing or encoding required, so check the listed price or request a bulk quote. India RFID Store is a BIS and WPC certified Indian manufacturer offering samples, OEM pricing and pan-India shipping.
