Event Description
A number of major retailers have recently begun requiring their suppliers to add RFID to product labeling. The traditional UPC and EAN barcode labels on products are getting an update. The documentation, standards and real-world practicalities of complying with the RFID requirements can be daunting.
Should a supplier turn to a so-called "service bureau" for the labels or print and encode them in-house? Join us as we explain the concepts behind RFID labeling for suppliers, what suppliers need to know to get started, and how to actually generate your own RFID labels.
Learn the basics of:
- Mandate-compliant inlays
- Label constructions
- Printing requirements
- Encoding
- Label placement
- The retailer's label approval process
- Selecting the right RFID printer for in-house printing and encoding
- Software requirements
- Serial number management
- How suppliers themselves can benefit from the RFID requirements
With an understanding of the concepts behind these RFID mandates, compliance can be a systematic checklist rather than an overwhelming, confusing burden.
