Frangible RFID tag and method of producing same

摘要

A frangible RFID tag includes a substrate having at least one weakened area, an RFID chip and an antenna. The RFID chip and the antenna are located on the substrate and the antenna is electrically connected to the RFID chip. The RFID tag also includes a plurality of adhesive areas applied to the underside of the substrate. The adhesive areas allow the RFID tag to be secured to an object. The adhesive areas may be spaced from one another to form at least one gap between the adhesive areas. The gap(s) may be located under the at least one weakened area.

1. A frangible radio frequency identification (RFID) tag comprising:
a substrate having at least one weakened area; an RFID chip located on the substrate; an antenna located on the substrate and electrically connected to the RFID chip; a plurality of adhesive areas applied to an underside of the substrate and configured to allow the RFID tag to be secured to an object, the plurality of adhesive areas spaced from one another, thereby forming at least one gap between the plurality of adhesive areas, the at least one gap being located under the at least one weakened area; and a top layer located on and covering the substrate, RFID chip and antenna, the top layer being a solid layer of material and having a tensile strength below the tensile strength required to remove the RFID tag from the object such that the top layer is configured to tear upon an attempted removal of the RFID tag from the object, wherein the top layer is unperforated or uncut.
