Durable & High-Performance On Metal RFID Tags
On Metal RFID Tags are specialized tags designed for deployment on metal surfaces or in environments with high metal content. Unlike standard RFID tags, which can suffer signal interference when placed near metal, these tags are made from materials such as PCB, ABS, or PET combined with aluminum foil. This structure effectively shields interference caused by metal, protects the embedded chip and antenna, and ensures stable reading performance. As a result, anti-metal RFID tags provide reliable, robust identification and tracking solutions that traditional RFID tags may not be able to do.
These durable tags are used in various industries, including manufacturing, logistics, and asset management. Their ability to withstand harsh conditions, such as extreme temperatures or mechanical stress, makes them ideal for heavy machinery, pipes, and other metallic assets. By automating inventory checks and maintenance schedules, RFID anti-metal tags help organizations streamline operations, minimize errors, and gain real-time visibility into critical assets, ultimately improving efficiency and decision-making.
Types of On Metal RFID Tags We Offer
JIA RFID offers a wide range of metal-mount RFID tags to meet different size, material, and application requirements. From rugged ABS enclosures to ultra-thin FPC anti-metal tags, we provide the right solution for your project.

High-Temperature On-Metal RFID Tags
Our High-Temp On-Metal RFID Tags are built for laundry bins and carts, withstanding heat, chemicals, and repeated washes for reliable, automated tracking.

On-Metal NFC Tags
NFC tags are engineered for use on metal surfaces. Ideal for smartphone scanning, maintenance logging, access control, or product authentication.

RFID Smart Label On-Metal
A special type of thin, printable on-metal RFID label with anti-metal shielding. Offers the flexibility of a sticker with the performance of a hard tag.

ABS On-Metal RFID Tags
Durable ABS plastic hard-shell tags resist water, shock, and chemicals, making them ideal for tracking industrial equipment in harsh environments.

FPC Anti-Metal Tags
Ultra-thin, flexible RFID tags made with FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) material. Designed to work on metal while maintaining a low profile — perfect for tight spaces or curved surfaces.

PCB RFID Tags
Rigid on-metal tags built using FR4 PCB substrate, providing excellent electrical isolation and consistent signal strength on metal.

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

Healthcare & Laboratory Equipment
Hospitals and labs apply on-metal NFC and UHF tags to:
Autoclave trays
Diagnostic machines
Lab assets and containers
Because they're resistant to heat and chemicals, our tags are safe for sterilization environments.
Result: Improved tracking of sensitive devices, sterile supply chain monitoring, and compliance documentation

Construction & Infrastructure Projects
Construction firms mount ABS or rugged PCB RFID tags on:
Scaffolding
Formwork panels
Steel beams and heavy tools
This enables lifecycle monitoring, usage logging, and digital site inventory across multiple locations.
Result: Faster equipment deployment, better resource allocation, and real-time asset data

Industrial Asset Tracking & Maintenance
Factories, plants, and construction sites use on-metal RFID tags to track:
Machines and equipment
Maintenance schedules
Replacement part history
With rugged enclosures and strong adhesives or screws, these tags stay put even in dusty, high-vibration, and outdoor environments.
Result: Reduced downtime, automated asset audits, and improved compliance
