Reliable Performance on Metal Surfaces. Guaranteed.
Standard RFID tags fail when attached to metal because the surface reflects the signal. Charmetack’s **RFID Anti-Metal Tags** are specially engineered with a shielding layer (ferrite or specialized antenna design) to overcome this interference.
Whether you need **Flexible Tags** for curved pipes, rugged **ABS Hard Tags** for outdoor containers, or heat-resistant **PCB Tags** for industrial tooling, we have the right solution to track your metallic assets with 100% accuracy.
Product Types & Materials
We offer three categories of On-Metal tags to suit different environments:
| Type | Description & Material | Read Range |
| 1. Flexible Printable Tag | Material: Synthetic PET face + Foam-based anti-metal layer. Feature: Soft & flexible. Can be printed by RFID thermal transfer printers (like Zebra). Ideal for IT assets (laptops) and curved pipes. |
2 – 5 Meters |
| 2. Rugged ABS Hard Tag | Material: Industrial ABS plastic housing (IP68 Waterproof). Feature: Extremely durable. Can be mounted via screws, rivets, or strong 3M adhesive. Best for warehousing racks and containers. |
5 – 12 Meters |
| 3. PCB / Ceramic Tag | Material: FR4 PCB board or Ceramic substrate. Feature: Mini size & high-temperature resistance (up to 200°C). Perfect for tracking small tools, molds, and medical instruments. |
1 – 4 Meters |

FAQ: RFID On-Metal Tags
Q: Can I print on these tags?
Yes, if you choose our Flexible Anti-Metal Labels. They are compatible with standard RFID thermal transfer printers (e.g., Zebra ZT410, Sato). ABS and PCB tags typically require laser engraving or pre-printing.
Q: How do I attach them?
For indoor smooth surfaces (servers), our high-tack 3M adhesive is sufficient. For outdoor containers or rough surfaces, we recommend using screws or rivets through the pre-drilled holes in our Hard Tags.
