The frequency typically used for high frequency (HF) RFID systems is 13.56 MHz. The HF frequency range is accepted worldwide. A typical HF RFID system uses passive tags and offers fair performance in the presence of metals and liquids. HF systems are widely used in library, mass transit and product authentication applications.

NFC products

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short-range radio frequency communication technology that enables data exchange between devices a few centimetres apart. The technology follows the ISO 14443 proximity standard and combines the interface of an RFID card/ticket plus a reader in a single device. An NFC device is able to communicate with existing ISO 14443 RFID cards/tickets and readers and other NFC devices, so it is compatible with existing contactless infrastructure. UPM Raflatac offers a wide variety of ISO 14443 compliant products.

The HF and NFC product range by UPM Raflatac comprises the tags and inlays presented in the table below, in the following delivery formats

• Dry inlay: continuous web, no adhesive
