The disclosure relates to a method for injection-molding a device, in particular a cable tie, with an integrated wireless tag, comprising the method steps of a) putting a tagging foil with two main surfaces which are separated by an edge, into a mold cavity of an open mold, where the tagging foil is held in place by a supporting device; b) closing the mold; c) injecting an injection material into the mold cavity parts adjoining the two main surfaces of the tagging foil simultaneously and symmetrically with respect to a main extension plane of the tagging foil which is parallel to the two main surfaces of the tagging foil so as to simplify and speed up the manufacturing process of a device with an integrated wireless tag or label. The disclosure furthermore relates to a corresponding molding device as well as a corresponding device with an integrated wireless tag.

Injection molding a device such as a cable holder with an integrated wireless tagging foil

A rail which can be bound, by means of a strap, to an elongate object, in particular a cable harness or a line, and has a bearing surface, which is intended to rest against the object, and a binding surface , which is directed away from the bearing surface and accommodates the strap. The binding surface has a plurality of protrusions which are compliant in the direction transverse to this surface. A strap arranged at any desired location of the binding surface is positioned transversely over one or more protrusions, in which case these protrusions are pressed down. Adjacent protrusions which have not been pressed down are located on one side and/or the other, and these resist the lateral displacement of the strap.
