Abstract
Reinforced constructs (e.g., non-corrugated or corrugated paperboard container blanks) that include a reinforcing tape wherein the reinforcing tape comprises at least one RFID device attached thereto. A first method for making such constructs includes applying reinforcing tape with the attached RFID device to at least a portion of at least one first paper layer, and pairing a second paper layer with the first paper layer such that the reinforcing tape and the at least one RFID device are positioned between the first and second paper layers to form the construct. In another method for making such constructs, particularly container blanks, a paper board substrate is transported on a container blank production line and a hot melt adhesive-coated reinforcing tape is applied to the paper board substrate.
