Smart Tag is 'World's Smallest'

Flying Null, the Cambridge based inventor of innovative magnetic tagging technologies, has announced the release of what they believe is
the thinnest, remotely readable, non-line of sight smart tagging system in the world. At only 3-micron thick and a millimetre wide the new FN Transfer Tag is 25 times thinner then a human hair.

Developed from Flying Null's existing Electro Magnetic Identification (EMID) technology, the new tags offer users greater flexibility when choosing where to apply tags to packaging and products in the production process. The hot foil stamped tags can be laminated, embedded, applied directly to the surface, over printed or even form part of the final packaging design.

Once applied the provide each item with a permanent ID which can be read remotely using the Flying Null hand held reader.

Transfer Tags can survive a host of harsh environments varying from high temperatures at 200C to very low temperature and many atmospheres of pressure. They can also withstand exposure to high levels of radiation, microwaves, and electrostatic and electromagnetic fields.
The tags can be supplied in various formats to cater for product authentication, batch control, warranty control or Track & Trace applications. Suitably positioned and applied the tags will also provide machine readable tamper evidence functionality. When used in tandem with
other technologies FN Transfer Tags can add a covert machine-readable feature to security print features or optical technologies such as Holograms.
