The present invention is a method and apparatus for producing ready to use RFID devices in a convenient and economical manner. The apparatus of the present invention may be collocated with a manufacturer of consumer goods.

Production line for making short run radio frequency identification tags and labels

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an antenna for a radio frequency (RFID) tag. A web of material is provided to at least one cutting station in which a first pattern is generated in the web of material. A further cutting may occur to create additional modifications in order to provide a microchip attachment location and to selectively tune an antenna for a particular end use application. The cutting may be performed by a laser, die cutting, stamping or combinations thereof.

Method of manufacturing a radio frequency identification device

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a metal foil laminate which may be used for example to produce an antenna for a radio frequency (RFID) tag, electronic circuit, photovoltaic module or the like. A web of material is provided to at least one cutting station in which a first pattern is generated in the web of material. A further cutting may occur to create additional modifications in order to provide additional features for the intended end use of the product. The cutting may be performed by a laser either alone or in combinations with other cutting technologies.

Foil laminate intermediate and method of manufacturing

The present invention is a method for producing ready to use RFID devices in a convenient and economical manner. The method in one embodiment includes a substrate having a first a second face and applying a pattern of adhesive to the first face of the substrate. A conductive foil is then laminated to the pattern of adhesive, and the conductive foil is cut to form a plurality of antenna patterns. A chip is applied to each of the antenna patterns. Printing is applied on the second face of the substrate to create distinct printed areas. Each of the printed areas is then read and the information is matched with each of the distinct printed areas to information encoded in each of the chips. Finally, each distinct printed area is separated from the substrate.

Method for making short run radio frequency identification tags and labels

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a web of a plurality of conductive structures which may be used for example to produce an antenna, electronic circuit, photovoltaic module or the like. The method involved simultaneously patterning at least one pattern in a conductive layer using a plurality of registration marks. The registration marks serve to align and guide the creation of the plurality of conductive structures. Optical brighteners may also be utilized within the adhesive layer and the registration marks of the present invention in order to detect the location where conductive structures are to be placed.
