Durable & High-Performance On Metal RFID Tags
On metal RFID tags (also known as anti-metal RFID tags) are specialized passive UHF RFID tags engineered to perform reliably when mounted directly on metal surfaces, where conventional RFID tags typically suffer severe signal interference.
As a factory-direct on metal RFID tag manufacturer and supplier, JIA RFID provides industrial-grade anti-metal RFID tags for tracking tools, machinery, containers, metal assets, and equipment in demanding operating environments.
Our on-metal RFID tags feature advanced shielding structures that prevent signal loss on metal substrates, enabling stable long-range reading and fast, accurate identification across logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, and asset tracking systems. These rugged tags are designed to withstand harsh conditions, including extreme temperatures, vibration, moisture, and mechanical stress, delivering long-term reliability in industrial deployments.

Applications of On-Metal RFID Tags
On-metal RFID tags are specially designed to maintain high performance when mounted on or near metal, making them essential in industries where traditional RFID tags fail. From heavy-duty machinery tracking to smart tool cabinets, these tags deliver real-time visibility, automation, and traceability across a wide range of sectors.
Here’s how companies are using JIA RFID’s on-metal RFID tags across industries:
IT Asset Management & Data Centers
IT departments attach on-metal UHF or NFC tags to:
Servers and racks
Switches and routers
Laptops, desktops, and hardware
This enables quick bulk inventory scans, loss prevention, and instant check-in/out of devices in high-value environments.
Result: Streamlined IT audits, better asset traceability, and faster equipment deployment
Tool Tracking in Workshops & Service Vehicles
Manufacturers, repair services, and utility companies apply PCB or FPC on-metal tags to:
Hand tools
Power tools
Diagnostic equipment
RFID-enabled smart cabinets or vehicles automatically detect tool movement and usage.
Result: Fewer lost tools, higher accountability, and faster field readiness
Logistics & Returnable Transport Items (RTIs)
Metal-mount RFID tags are used to tag:
Steel pallets
Metal containers
Roll cages and kegs
These RFID systems allow for automated loading, delivery confirmation, and reverse logistics tracking.
Result: Reduced loss of returnable assets, more efficient logistics, and data-driven insights

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an on-metal RFID tag?
An on-metal RFID tag (also called an anti-metal RFID tag) is a special type of RFID tag designed to operate reliably when attached directly to metal surfaces.
Unlike standard RFID tags, it uses shielding structures to prevent signal interference caused by metal.
Can these tags really work on metal?
Yes — they’re designed with shielding layers or PCB substrates that eliminate interference from metal surfaces.
Do you offer NFC tags for metal surfaces?
Absolutely. We provide on-metal NFC tags for short-range applications, such as mobile scanning, asset identification, and interactive labeling— even in metallic environments.
What frequency do on-metal RFID tags use?
Most industrial on-metal RFID tags operate in the UHF band (860–960 MHz), providing long read range and fast data capture for asset tracking and automation.
Can on-metal RFID tags be customized?
Yes. As a factory-direct on-metal RFID tag manufacturer, JIA RFID provides full OEM/ODM customization, including size, material, housing, printing, encoding, UID management, and chip selection.
Are these tags waterproof and chemical-resistant?
Yes. Most of our metal-mount RFID tags are IP68 rated and designed to resist water, dust, oil, and chemicals, making them suitable for harsh field conditions.
What is the MOQ?
Our minimum order quantity (MOQ) for on-Metal tags is 100 pieces.
