Rfidium Announces New "Leprechaun" Stock RFID for Box and Pallet Tagging
Rfidium, the complete design, prototyping and production RFID antenna inlay provider, announced today the availability of the "Leprechaun", a new RFID tag designed specifically for box and pallet tagging on cardboard boxes or polymeric containers.

/Electronics News Articles/ - SUNNYVALE, CA, August 14, 2008 - With a read range of better than 4.2m (14') in free-space propagation and 36dBm EIRP at the reader antennas measured on corrugated cardboard boxes, the Leprechaun is designed for inventory and trace-back tracking of a variety of food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and commodity applications.

"The Leprechaun represents a leap forward in box and pallet tagging," said Anh Hoang, General Manager. "By combining environmentally responsible manufacturing and cost-effectiveness with exceptional performance, we are able to give our customers a good alternative to other RFID pallet and box tags."

The Leprechaun is designed to work across a wide variety of packaging types and package contents. Even though its footprint is relatively small, greater amounts of metal area make it less susceptible to influence by the materials being tracked. In addition, the Leprechaun is an aluminum antenna inlay, complying with strict WEEE and RoHS environmental requirements and minimizing environmental impact for greener operations.

It is also compliant to ASTM D 4169, Loose Cargo, Commercial Temperature and Vibration Levels. Available in high yield dry rolls that easily integrate into high volume conversion processes, the Leprechaun is 100% read tested with marked non-compliant inlays.

Rfidium also carries a variety of other stock RFID inlays using chips from leading providers such as Impinj and TI suitable for many applications, including tape cartridge, item-level, and pallet tracking. Stock inlays can be custom-tuned to meet specific requirements. In addition, Rfidium is a complete custom design, prototyping, and production RFID inlay provider, enabling customers to go from ideas to production quantities of RFID antennas more rapidly than competitive processes.
