Abstract :
This paper presents a low cost solution for integration of RFID tags with dipole antennas onto traditional metal labels. Metal labels of this shape are used in a hardware supply chain and covered with a plastic layer where information is printed upon it. The RFID tag is a complement to the printed information that goes into the same label and is put away from the metallic surface with the aid of a 10 mm polyurethane foam (foam rubber) spacer that due to its high flexibility have potential to be run through the usual label printer
