80x40 Flexible & Printable UHF On-metal Label

The ID-80X40 is a high-performance UHF RFID inlay measuring 80mm × 40mm, 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 80mm × 40mm 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-80X40 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 80x40 Flexible & Printable UHF On-metal Label

With 80 mm by 40 mm of face, the ID-80X40 is the largest label in this flexible on-metal family and the one specified when people need to identify a machine from across a yard as well as scan it. The extra area holds a complete printed plate — number, barcode, owner and logo — in a type size that still reads from a distance, while the flexible body lets it sit on the curved panels of tanks, drums and machine covers. The same up-to-6 m figure applies as on the smaller sizes; what grows here is printed area, not the specification.

Key specifications

Best-fit applications

• Trolleys, cages and metal-framed equipment identified as they leave a yard
• Heavy plant, compressors and construction machines in a hire fleet
• Large moulds, dies and tooling parked on outdoor racks
• Tanks, drums and process vessels that need identifying without climbing to them
• Steel pallets and stillages circulating in an OEM supply chain
• Distribution centre gates where walking up to scan each item is too slow

Mounting, encoding and reading notes

Fix the plate to a cleaned flat panel, set high on the machine and turned toward the direction traffic passes, avoiding recesses and channels that put the tag in shadow. Print and write the identity together, verify it, and record it against the chassis or asset number before the item leaves the yard. When commissioning a gate, walk a tagged asset through at working speed and adjust antenna aim and tilt before reaching for more transmit power. Refresh any plate that gets painted over during overhaul.

Why buy from Identium

Large-format labels are ordered in campaigns rather than continuously, so availability and turnaround matter; ours are manufactured in New Delhi and produced against your artwork. Because 865-868 MHz matches ETSI 865-868 MHz, the same stock ships to Europe, the UK, the GCC and Africa without redesign, and FCC 902-928 MHz builds are available for the Americas. Bulk and OEM quantities, custom encoding and free samples come as standard. See the on-metal RFID tag range or our ETSI compatibility guide.

Frequently asked questions

Is this 80x40mm RFID label made for metal asset tracking?

Yes, the ID-80X40 UHF RFID label is engineered for on-metal asset tracking, unlike ordinary paper labels that do not read reliably on metal. Its large 80 by 40mm face suits machinery, electrical panels, metal cabinets and returnable containers where printed asset details are also needed.

What is the read range of the ID-80X40 on-metal UHF label?

The ID-80X40 UHF on-metal RFID label reads at up to 6 metres depending on the antenna and environment. Larger labels generally perform well on metal, but reader power, orientation and surrounding steel still affect distance, so validate in your own facility before scaling up.

Is this UHF RFID label suitable for Indian frequency regulations?

Yes. The ID-80X40 operates across 860 to 960 MHz, covering India's WPC-approved 865 to 868 MHz UHF RFID band which is licence-free within notified power limits. It works with all standard UHF RFID readers and thermal transfer printers used across India.

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

Pricing for large on-metal RFID labels in India depends on order quantity, printing and encoding requirements, so please check the listed price or request a bulk quote. India RFID Store is a BIS and WPC certified Indian manufacturer offering OEM pricing, samples and pan-India shipping.
