RFID Tree & Timber Tag IDTS-TND1 (Nail-In Disc, HF or UHF)
A nail-in RFID tree and timber tag for forest, plantation, timber-yard and tree-census teams: a round ABS disc whose centre spike is driven into wood. It has an HF 13.56 MHz chip as standard, or UHF EPC Gen2 on request for UHF handhelds.

Overview
Where the IDTS-TND1 RFID tree and timber tag fits
The IDTS-TND1 tags the wood itself: log ends and sawn timber in a timber yard, trunks in a forestry, plantation or municipal tree inventory, and wooden poles, posts and pallets. Drive its spike into the wood to fix the disc to that item.
HF or UHF: choosing the chip
- HF (standard): one disc at a time. Listed read distance is 1–10 cm, so staff hold a reader up to each disc, which suits checks such as a tree census.
- UHF (on request): for teams using UHF handhelds. UHF is generally read from further away than HF, and UHF handhelds can read several tags in one pass, which can help with log tracking in a yard if a trial confirms it. Water affects UHF signals, so wet or freshly cut wood can shorten the range: test a few discs on fresh-cut logs in your yard before a large order.
Our UHF vs HF tag guide explains the trade-off.
Linking each disc to your log or tree record
Read each new disc and store its chip ID, plus any printed number, against the item in your software or spreadsheet: species, girth or log size, compartment or yard location, and date. Later reads bring up that record; without a reader, staff can use the number.
Tagging saplings, plants or tree guards instead
For saplings, thin stems and potted plants, where a spike-in disc is not practical, use the IDTS-PTH165 HF tie tag, which wraps around a stem, branch or tree guard, or the IDTS-PSU8 UHF plant stake, pushed into the soil beside the plant.
Typical applications
- Tree inventory and census
- Timber yard log tracking
- Sawn timber stacks
- Wooden poles and posts
- Wooden pallets
- Plantation and forestry records
