RFID Format Design Tips

This section provides some tips about designing formats on large-gap RFID supplies.
Printing over the RFID inlay may cause printing irregularity.
Determine the label length. Measure the supply according to the supply type:
1.
♦ Die cut
supplies:
♦ Black mark
supplies:
♦ Aperture
supplies:
Note: The leading edge is the edge of the label that exits the printer first; regardless of how the
format is designed on the label.
