A system and method for encapsulating and protecting a component assembly is disclosed. A barrier system comprising a first layer having a first set of physical properties and a second layer having a second set of physical properties is adapted to protectively surround the component assembly. A continuous transitory material is formed between the first layer and the second layer at associated first and second margin portions such that the first layer and the second layer are not prone to delamination. The physical properties of each layer of the barrier system provide protection to the component assembly from various types of physical and environmental damage.

System and method for encapsulation and protection of components

An apparatus and method for providing a radio frequency identification. A barrier system is adapted to encase at least a portion of a radio frequency identification device. The barrier system includes a first layer defining a first set of physical properties and a second layer defining a second set of physical properties. A continuous transitory material is formed between the first and the second layers where they are interlinked at associated first and second margin portions. The physical properties of each layer of the barrier system provide protection to the component assembly from various types of physical and environmental damage.
