UHF EPC Gen 2 Mount On Metal RFID Tags
Mount-on-Metal UHF RFID Tags – Durable EPC Gen 2 Tracking for Industrial Use
Standard RFID tags often fail when applied directly to metal, causing signal interference and unreliable reads. Our UHF EPC Gen 2 Mount-on-Metal RFID tags are engineered specifically for use on metal surfaces, delivering accurate, long-range identification in even the harshest industrial environments.
Whether you’re tracking tools, equipment, shipping containers, or IT assets, these tags offer high durability, waterproof protection, and stable UHF performance — making them ideal for manufacturing, logistics, construction, and energy sectors.
What Are Mount on Metal RFID Tags?
Mount on metal RFID tags are a specialized type of UHF RFID tag that can be applied directly to metallic surfaces without signal degradation. Unlike standard inlays, these tags feature insulating layers and antenna designs that allow them to function efficiently when mounted to metal.
- Frequency: 860–960 MHz (UHF)
- Protocol: EPC Class 1 Gen 2 / ISO 18000-6C
- Mounting: Adhesive, screw, rivet, zip tie, or magnetic backing
- Read Range: Up to 10 meters depending on setup
Ideal Applications
Industrial Equipment Tracking
- Permanently tag tools, generators, field machinery, or shopfloor equipment
- Track maintenance, calibration, and ownership records
- Metal Bins, Pallets & Containers
Manage steel or aluminum transport containers in warehouses and yards
Automate check-in/check-out with fixed or handheld UHF readers
- IT Asset Management
- Apply to metal servers, racks, and network equipment for long-term tracking
- Replace barcodes with automated, wireless visibility

Hot To Customize RFID Tags
Know the customization process about RFID tags
Size & Shape
Send your requirements on size and shapes. Tags are typically designed in simple shapes and sizes to match the internal antenna. However, they can also be customized in various sizes and shapes to best fit the intended application and the asset being tagged. For instance, RFID hang tags can be customized in size, shape, and attachment method to perfectly suit specific applications.
Layout & Chips
In the label format designer, select the layout that matches the type and size of the RFID label you wish to create. Our factory provides a variety of label templates, including RFID-specific options. We also offer a range of RFID chips tailored to meet your specific requirements.
High Customization
Custom tags are designed from the ground up to meet the needs of specific applications, with unique variables for nearly every option listed below.
