RFID label with digital printed display that matches the appearance characteristics of the product

摘要

RFID labels blend with a branding color, a branding pattern or a branding color and pattern of an item of merchandise or packaging to which it is attached in order to provide inventory control and security functions, which are digitally printed onto a label substrate having an RFID inlay. When desired, the printed label has UV ink dots applied in a useful orientation and can provide a glowing code attribute to the label. Defined label shaping can be provided by digital cutting. Digital adhesive application can be included on the label substrate, which can be combined with digital cutting to provide for self-adhesion of the label, and the digital cutting and digital adhesive placement can be arranged so as to include dry tab characteristics to the label.
